Now you’re probably wondering why we are referring to the 400mg in Hoodia Gordonii as a ‘myth’, but there is a logical reason as to why we have said this.

It is all down to the added ingredients that many companies choose to use within their hoodia supplements. Plus how this then affects its ability to induce appetite suppression.

You see whilst recent studies have discovered that consumers need to take between 2,250-3,000mg of Hoodia Gordonii per day to effectually suppress their appetite (400mg per pill), the number of companies who are actually only offering 25mg within their disguised supplement is substantial.

And this is not just a theory. Alkemist pharmaceuticals are the leading officials behind this claim.

So what are we actually seeing on the market then? The majority of supplements claim to contain more than 400mg of Hoodia Gordonii.

Is Alkemist pharmaceuticals wrong? No they are not. The truth of the matter is you are being lied to about the real ingredient list of your Hoodia supplement.

Take the following Hoodia Gordonii supplements. When you factor in their price and packaging size, it is instantly obvious that these supplements are not all that they make themselves out to be.

Pure Hoodia Gordonii Extract (500mg) – now before you get excited that this one is 500mg per capsule, this is an extract. Meaning… this supplement is far from being made from pure 100% Hoodia Gordonii.

Hoodia Gordonii (400mg)- this one may contain 400mg per capsule, but priced at just £18.49, the price is just too low to be genuine Hoodia Gordonii

100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii (700mg) – this one looks promising too, but with 100 tablets priced at only £24.99, it is hard to believe that they would offer extra pure Hoodia Gordonii in one tablet, plus 100 tablets of it at such a low price. Especially when the plant is so rare

Get the picture? You cannot rely on just their claim that they contain more than 400mg of Hoodia Gordonii. You need proof.

This is where laboratory testing and certificates come in. By checking out their medical backing and trials, you can get the answer that you need of does your supplement really contain 400mg of pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii?

Take the Hoodia supplement, UniqueHoodia. As well as having received the clinical approval of Alkemist pharmaceuticals, they have also been tested by reputable company CNL to further prove that what they are offering is the genuine article.
And these are not just claims either. All their certificates can be found on their website.

So when you read that they can offer you 460mg of pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii in each capsule, the credibility of their supplement can instantly be backed by these tests.

In one compact package, consumers can benefit from:

• 100% pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• 2,000 daily calorie reductions
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.

And priced at just £37.92, the proof its results make it even more incredible a product.

Of all the media reports that have been done in the last 6 years about Hoodia Gordonii, the most credible and accurate one we have ever seen has to be the one done by BBC reporter Tom Mangold in 2003.

On top of their own experimentation with Hoodia Gordonii, the BBC also provided consumers with one concise article that put the facts to them straight. None of the vagueness you can find with some articles, but a concise article with everything you could need to gain an accurate perception of Hoodia Gordonii.

In their report they offered the facts of:

• That Hoodia Gordonii is rare and originates from the Kalahari Desert
• How P57 was discovered by Phytopharm
• How Hoodia Gordonii works – 10,000 times more powerful than glucose, Hoodia makes the nerve cells in the brain believe you are full when you are not.
• Its many Clinical trials (that had been performed at that time)
• How Hoodia can reduce your calorie intake by 1,000 calories a day
• How Hoodia Gordonii is side effect free

But the most important point they touched on was fake Hoodia products.

Even in 2003, they were aware of the possibility of fake Hoodia Products.

Yet, who could have guessed that their prediction would prove so right! According to Alkemist pharmaceuticals 80% of Hoodia Products are fake, containing only 60% pure Hoodia Gordonii, if any at all.

But if we are honest they could have not known how many there would be. After all, in 2003 Hoodia Gordonii was still being clinically tested, which made it hard for companies to launch Hoodia products without their credibility being questioned.

So what are we to take away from the BBC report? The need to increase consumer awareness of Hoodia Gordonii. Not just about its appetite suppressant qualities, but as a product as a whole: where it is from? What are its ingredients? How can price reflect its validity?

Know this and you can increase your chances of receiving pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii, and offer your body an easy route to weight loss.

Here is a quick low down on what to look for within your Hoodia Gordonii supplements.

Medical Backing: Has it been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals?

CITES Certificate: Only South Africa grow and export genuine Hoodia Gordonii.

Price: Hoodia Gordonii is rare, making it expensive to export. For this reason check the products price. If it is cheap, it is not real.

Ingredients: for genuine Hoodia Gordonii, only the core of the plant must be used. Besides its gelatib capsules there should be no other ingredients on the ingredients list.

Experience Genuine Hoodia Gordonii

Laboratory tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, and offering a CITES certificate to show its proof of origin, Hoodia can offer you the proof and the documentation, to make your journey to weight loss a success.

In one compact package, consumers can experience the benefits of:

• 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii
• A calorie reduction of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.

Can genuine Hoodia Gordonii come in an extract form? The simple answer to this question is no, no they can’t.

And the reason for this is simple too.

You see, when companies wield the term ‘Hoodia extract’, all they are actually offering you is a sample of the product they are claiming to sell. In most cases just 60%.

The other 40% on the other hand can be anything from the leaves or flower of the Hoodia Gordonii plant; parts from other Hoodia plants (there are in fact 13 types of Hoodia plant, but only Hoodia Gordonii can offer users appetite suppression) and even caffeine.

So whilst said companies may claim to sell you genuine 100% Hoodia Gordonii extract, you would be lucky to actually get 60% of the real plant. The core where the active ingredient P57 is found.

It is incredible what lengths companies will go to to cut corners in the production of this weight loss capsule.

So check the label carefully before you consider investing.

Apart from the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, the only other ingredient you should ever find on the packaging is gelatib for its capsule.

Now we can see that you’re confused. You’re thinking – didn’t we just tell you that there should only be one ingredient in the capsule? Well this is not strictly true. Take the ones we have listed above. They are actually the ingredients used to build up the capsule itself.

They are okay to be there, as they do not affect the authenticity of the Hoodia Gordonii plant or its purity levels. Their only job is to make sure the powdered form of the plants core is more accessible for you to use.

Find anything else on the ingredient list or spot a quote that includes the phrase ‘extract’, and put it straight back. Don’t even look at it. All this information is actually telling you is that the product is not authentic and contains only 60% of real Hoodia Gordonii.

But the news surrounding this controversy gets worse.

According to research performed by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, they found that over 80% of Hoodia Gordonii capsules are not authentic.

Now this not to say, that there are not genuine Hoodia Gordonii capsules out there who have got the backing, the clinical testing and the CITES certificate to prove their worth. It is just a question of looking around and making sure you check the ingredients label before you invest.

One example of a genuine hoodia product is UniqueHoodia.

In one compact package, customers can experience the satisfaction of knowing that they are receiving:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia – not the extract form, but powdered capsules
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the strength of appetite suppression, compared to glucose

Search for the term ‘Hoodia Gordonii’ on the web and you will find endless websites telling you to try their unique Hoodia extract.

But here is where their first mistake comes in. Genuine 100% Hoodia Gordonii does not come in an extract form. No, not at all.

All an extract actually means is that part – and we mean any part – of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has been used to make this supplement. And we don’t just mean random parts of the plant itself.

It is surprising how many inventive ways companies have come up with in order to make their 400mg look authentic.

Don’t believe us? Take a look at the following list, it is incredible: leaves… flowers… one of the 13 other Hoodia plants… even caffeine. They have done anything and everything to cut down on the costs, and earn themselves more money.

And the person, who ends up losing out in this scenario, is you and only you.

So what can you do to escape the hoodia extract controversy? Learn the basics of what to expect when you are looking to invest in a Hoodia Gordonii product.

Take for example the capsules ingredient list.

The only other ingredients you should ever find on the packaging of a Hoodia product is the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, gelatine, magnesium stearate and stearic acid.

Now before you jump the gun, and say that these 3 extra ingredients must make it not 100% pure, there is something you need to know. That is not strictly true.

You see the ingredients we have just mentioned above form part of the capsule that contains the powdered form of the Hoodia plant. They are okay.

But if you find any other extra ingredients on the label or spot a quote that says it is an extract of the plant, then stop. All this information is actually telling you is that the capsule only contains 60% of the genuine Hoodia core. The rest are just fillers that will offer nothing beneficial to your weight loss journey.

And according to research conducted by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, over 80% of the Hoodia Gordonii capsules they tested, were found to be not 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii nor authentic.

And this figure is based on the number of products that were willingly sent to them to be tested. There are in fact hundreds of other Hoodia Gordonii products that have not been tested; that have not been proven to be the genuine article.
Saying this there are products out there that have got the backing, the clinical testing and the CITES certificate to prove that they are the real deal. UniqueHoodia being one of them.

Within one capsule users can find 460mg of pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii. No added fillers or ingredients, just the powdered form of the plants core.

And this is 60mg more than the average Hoodia product will offer too.

In one compact package, customers can experience the satisfaction of knowing that they are receiving:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia – not the extract form, but powdered capsules
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the strength of appetite suppression, compared to glucose

Have you ever taken the time to check out the CITES certificates on Hoodia Gordonii supplements? If you did you would find that the majority of them are between 6 months to a year old.

Now before you start worrying and wondering whether this length will make them less effective – let us explain.

You see before Hoodia Gordonii can be exported from South Africa, exporters need to get a CITES certificate. Once got, they have got up to 6 months to export it out of the country.

So as you can see the date of issue on the CITES certificate is already 6 months old.

Then there is the next stage of reaching the manufacturer.

By the time it has reached them and has been made into the supplement you see before you, it could be a year later.

See what we mean? As long as the certificate is up to a year old, then your Hoodia Gordonii supplement is fine to take.

But what if you could offer your body the freshest in Hoodia Gordonii? A supplement that was harvested only a month before – would you be interested in offering your body a fresher alternative?

Well there are such companies.

UniqueHoodia for example can offer their customers an exact date due to their direct relationship with their exporter.

Due to the vast amounts of Hoodia Gordonii they order, UniqueHoodia have been able to cut out the middle man, ensuring that their Hoodia supplement has not been tampered or altered, and reaches them faster.

Now we know any company can claim to offer fresher Hoodia Gordonii, but some Hoodia products can literally prove this statement through their certificates and testing.

Tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and CNL, on their website you will also find:

Organics Annex Certificate – proves that there were no ‘middle men’ involved who could have interfered with the product while it was being exported to UniqueHoodia.

Certificate of Analysis – is issued to the Hoodia Gordonii supply before it enters the country, proving that it is 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii. This certificate shows that it was also tested under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography).

And unique Hoodia are not alone in this offering. Other Hoodia products – though not very many – can also match these claims.

So offer your body fresh, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii and experience the benefits of:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• Calorie reductions of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times more productive at reducing your appetite than glucose

Look on the web and you will find hundreds of appetite suppressants all claiming to do the same thing, but have you ever looked closely into how they work?

On the one hand you have natural appetite suppressants such as Hoodia that can help you to cut your meal portions without causing your body harm.
But then you have got others that work by chemically altering your brain signals, and affecting your health as a whole.

Take for example Reductil and Phentermine. Proven to help consumers lose a steady weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, alongside these benefits consumers can also expect to experience a range of other effects. And not all of the positive kind:

• Palpitations, breathlessness, racing heart, stomach cramps, diarrhoea – and these are only the tame ones.

Some of their less common side effects include coronary heart disease AND liver/pancreatic disease, not exactly inspiring.

So what can you do?

Well for a start we recommend that you do the research and check out the history of your supplement first, before investing.

Take the natural appetite suppressants mentioned above.

Alongside their ability to effectively suppress your appetite – Proactol has been proven to:

• Reduce your dietary fat intake by 28%
• Decrease your calories intake by 450 calories a day.

And 100% pure Hoodia has been found to:

• be 10,000 times stronger than glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Reduce your food intake by 50%
• Cut your calorie intake by 2,000 calories

Plus to top it all they are 100% side effect free. What more can you ask for?

Offer your body a natural solution to weight loss

Compare all these supplements together and Hoodia can offer you real credible results. Even more so than well renowned herbal supplements.

And these figures offered by Hoodia are not just a statement either.

100% Hoodia has been tried, tested and has been clinically proven to produce these results – something that not many Hoodia Gordonii supplements can offer.

Weight loss has now turned into a serious problem as obesity takes its place. Gaining and maintaining weight has become a health issue. The dieters are becoming more and more desperate as the right weight loss program or supplement continues to be elusive. Dieting is not just a socialite’s problem anymore but also others who are struggling with their weight. In the age of fast food and instant meals people are packing in the calories with no known effective way of shedding off. Hoodia diet pill is an effective weight loss supplement that targets the main problem itself: the individual. 

The Hoodia diet pill is the newest most popular weight loss supplement. It has been featured on television shows such as The Today Show, 60 minutes and BBC. It has also been approved by Oprah.

Is this new diet effective?

There have been a lot of diet trends that have come and gone. Most of them do not work or are hard to follow. Most of us don’t have the time for preparing portions sized meals everyday. This is why we prefer fast food than preparing home cooked meals. Most of these diets also require the dieter to follow a strict regimen. This would often lead to a food binge that puts all efforts to waste. We can control ourselves, but we can’t control the amount of advertisements bombarded on us not just in our television sets but also in the streets.

 The main problem here is not the food but our eating habits. If we have problems with eating then why not stop at all? This is the solution that Hoodia provides without causing the dieter to loose their mind with hunger pangs and cravings.

The diet comes from a plant found in South Africa, specifically in the Kalahari dessert. It naturally suppresses your appetite. It works by releasing chemical components which acts on the satiety center of the brain found in the hypothalamus. This causes the hypothalamus to send a signal to the brain that it has consumed enough.  

The diet is made from a plant which means that it is 100% safe and effective. It does not contain any ephedra, ephedrine and caffeine.  It also does not contain any stimulants which make it free from unpleasant side effects that other diet supplements have. Its active ingredient p57 is patented which means that it has been studied and tested before being used.

Taking the diet is effective if the genuine diet pill is used. Since it popularity there have been a lot of fakes ones circulating in the internet. Most of these are cheap imitations to lure in customers online. The original diet pill is expensive. Usually it costs about $60 per bottle. Some sites sell it for about $40 per bottle.

When buying from a website make sure that it has C.I.T.E.S certificate. This certificate is required by companies that export authentic Hoodia gordonii from South Africa. Look for analytical reports or lab tests which prove that the website’s product is authentic.  Read the label to make sure that it only contains 100% pure hoodia gordonii powder. Look out for other “fillers” or “flowing agents” that are added.

The hoodia diet pill does work as long as you know where to look. Do your own research first to make sure that you are getting your money’s worth.

We have all been there, you turn up to work full of good intentions for the day. You promise yourself you will not give in to temptation and not a single sugary treat will pass through your lips. Snacking at work is not even an option today.

It’s all going well so far you think to yourself, however, no sooner does that thought enter your head, your stomach rumbles. You feel the hunger and assume it’s nearly lunch time. Then you check the time and its only 10:30am – the mid-morning munchies have arrived!!

You can last until lunch you tell yourself but your stomach has other ideas. You try and think of something else but the only thing your mind is thinking about is chocolate and cakes. You cannot last any longer and rush to the vending machine – not a single healthy snack is on show. You give in and tell yourself tomorrow will be different, tomorrow you will avoid snacking at work.

We have all been there; snacking at work is a big problem day in, day out for the vast majority of us. The average person spends $45 on snacks every month. However, it doesn’t have to be like this.

There are ways you can stop snacking at work. The office does not need to be the place you surrender all willpower. Here are my top 5 tips to help you cut out those sweet treats at your desk:

1. Remain Calm
Stress is one of the biggest reasons why snacking at work is so hard to control. If you can stay relaxed by planning your workload efficiently then it will be easier to say no to those unhealthy snacks.

2. Stock up on Fruit
Keeping a supply of fruit on your desk will give you an alternative option to chocolate, cakes and potato chips. Better still, you won’t even have to leave your desk to get them!

3. Don’t Carry Loose Change
This is particularly useful if you have a vending machine at work. No spare change in your pocket means you cannot use the vending machine and no matter how much you want that chocolate bar you cannot have it.

4. Keep Yourself Busy
No doubt you often snack because you are bored. If you can keep yourself busy then you will not even think about snacking. Always ensure you have tasks to do to keep your mind off sweet treats.

5. Invest in an Appetite Suppressant
This is one of the tricks I swear by. Appetite suppressants are small pills you take each day which gives signals to the brain that you are full and do not require more food. They are perfectly safe and help you to get your willpower back and control those snacking at work cravings.

By far the best appetite suppressant I have used is a product called Hoodia. Use only the purest Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa which has been clinically proven to suppress your appetite.

Results have also shown that Hoodia can help cut your calorie intake by as much as 2,000 calories a day meaning weight loss is much faster and easier than by dieting alone.

If you want to cut out snacking at work then look no further – Hoodia is your key to controlling those cravings.

A new diet has taken the American market by storm. Ever since it came out in 2004, many brands have surfaced all over the internet. Hoodia diet pill is the new weight loss supplement that has been talked about by dieters across America. Hoodia Max is one of the brands that are marketed online for dieters. Unfortunately due to the popularity of this weight loss supplement several cheap imitations and fake ones circulate around the internet. How do we know which brand really works?

What is this new diet anyway?

This new diet was made from a plant which can be found in South Africa. It grows in the Kalahari dessert. Hoodia gordonii is a succulent plant which is not related to the cactus contrary to popular belief. It works by naturally suppressing an individual’s appetite. It has been featured in several shows including Oprah, BBC, The Today Show and 60 minutes.

The diet pills work by releasing a chemical component stronger than glucose. It works on the satiety center of the brain which is located in the hypothalamus. When the pill takes effect the hypothalamus signals the brain that it has consumed enough food. When the dieter takes the pill he or she will feel full even though there’s little or no food taken at all.

This way the dieter’s appetite is suppressed and cravings are controlled. It’s convenient for dieters who have no time to prepare portions sized meals. They don’t also have to follow a strict regiment which more often leads to food binges. Unlike other supplements it’s not chemically formulated. Its main source is a plant which makes it 100% natural and safe. It does not contain ephedra and ephedrine which has unpleasant side effects.

By taking the original diet pill it will work with proper maintenance. Dieters also have to remember that the pill can mask the fact that you are starving yourself so it should be taken as appropriate.

Any brand will work the way it’s made to if its 100% genuine. There are hundreds of diet pills out there and many more fake counterparts. Advertisements online can be misleading and most often they are just all hype. Hoodia diet has become popular ever since it was introduced to the American public, so there’s no wonder that there’s always fake lingering somewhere.

 To be able know if the manufacturer is selling an original Hoodia product is the presence of a C.T.I.E.S certificate. Unfortunately the supplier of this brand does not have this certificate. This certificate is required by companies that export Hoodia Gordonii from the African Western Cape Conservation in South Africa. They also don’t have analytical reports or lab tests to prove that their product is genuine.

The other thing about the brand is that it’s cheap. The authentic Hoodia diet pills are actually expensive. They usually cost about $60 per bottle. Due to this, we cannot be sure of the brands authenticity. Many dieters have loss a lot of money because of falling into a cheap trap set up by fake manufacturers.

Before buying any product with this brand make your own research first. Over the internet anyone can claim that they have found the miracle drug. Anyone can claim that their product is 100% authentic too.
