Guidelines to Purchase Hoodia

Real hoodia is rare and expensive. It is impossible to have so much of the real hoodia product in the market place. We have found that as much as fifty percent of the hoodia products being advertised were misleading or had little to no hoodia at all!

By following the eight rules below, you will be assured of getting a high quality product with real hoodia in it.

Rule #1: The hoodia product must be authenticated by a current verifiable Independent Lab Report (almost always performed by Alkemists Pharmceuticals) verifying the origin and quality of the hoodia in the product. The report should have a Lot Number verifying that the batch tested corresponds with the Lot Number on the product label.

This Independent Lab Report is the most effective way to verify that you are getting a high quality hoodia product. Be assured that all premium hoodia brands will display this report and the counterfeit ones will not. Make sure that the date on the report is no older than six months.

Rule #2: The hoodia product must display a C.I.T.E.S Certificate showing the Country of origin being South Africa . This Certificate assures that the raw material being processed into product is authentic South African hoodia.

Make sure that the copy on the Certificate is clear and legible and not a counterfeit. The date on the Certificate should be no older than six months.

Rule #3: Avoid any product that lists fillers, additives, bulking agents and any active ingredients other than hoodia. The label should state that the product consists solely of 100% pure hoodia .

Rule #4: Avoid products claiming to contain large amounts of hoodia in each pill or dosage. They are either making false claims or have been dramatically diluted with fillers. The fact is an average person would likely become sick if they consumed more than 800mgs of real hoodia at any time.

Rule #5: Avoid gimmick type products such as hoodia patches, gum, tea, coffee and shakes. They are simply a waste of your money.

Rule #6: Avoid any products being sold at cheap prices. Real South African hoodia gordonii is very expensive, presently being sold to manufacturers in the range of $250 to $400 per kilo and products being sold at cheap prices are not the real thing.

Rule #7: Beware of FREE TRIAL offers for hoodia presently being blasted with email campaigns all over the Internet. These are all promotional gimmicks and many are scams. By accepting the free offer, you agree to receive hoodia products on an ongoing basis and your credit card will be automatically charged every month without you ever initiating the purchase.

We found that the hoodia was not real in most of these FREE TRIAL offers and to make matters worse, it was almost impossible to get the companies to stop shipping the product and stop charging our credit cards.

Rule #8: Select an established company that shows verifiable information. The company website should have:

a toll free number to ask questions or place an order
a physical address of the company
independent testing of their products for purity, contaminants, etc.
a defined refund policy.
a better business bureau seal with a link to the bbb site where you can learn about the credibility and rating of the company
a customer service phone number, not just an email address
