Hoodia Reviews: What You Should Know Before Choosing A Hoodia
Product

Hoodia reviews on the Internet are a dime a dozen
Everybody has their opinion when it comes to hoodia product
reviews, and we’re guilty of this as well
That’s why it’s important to step back from biased opinions, and
take a look at some more general guidelines to minimize your
chances of buying a lousy product and maximize your chances of
getting a quality one
In addition to these general guidelines, you should understand
some hoodia facts that will also help prevent you from getting
scammed
Hoodia facts:
1 There are over a dozen types of hoodia plant, but only the
hoodia gordonii species contains the appetite suppressing
effects everyone is looking for What this means is that you
should beware of any hoodia review touting a product just
because it says “100% pure hoodia” on the label You may be
paying for something that’s not hoodia gordonii and therefore
being ripped off (while not being technically lied to)
2 International trade laws regulate hoodia gordonii and
something called a hoodia CITES certificate is needed to export
hoodia out of South Africa, the only place where it natively
grows This means you should look for a CITES certificate
display on the websites of hoodia product sellers if you want
the real thing
Hoodia and Reviews
Also, when looking at hoodia product reviews, make sure you
don’t just focus on the amount of hoodia stated on the label
Here’s why
Many products are made from the whole hoodia plant However, up
to 40% of the plant is useless for medicinal purposes In short,
the hoodia gordonii plant has skin, fibrous material, flowers,
leaves, etc, that do not contain any of the active ingredient
that aids in weight loss
Therefore, if you are buying a product made from the “whole
hoodia plant” you may be paying for as much as 40% useless
fillers
Some companies, on the other hand, will produce products from a
concentration
What they do is take the plant and place it into alcohol When
the alcohol is removed it helps to remove a lot of these useless
fillers with it, leaving more of the good stuff
The good stuff being the material from the core of the plant,
which is where the active ingredient is
The Sans Bushmen, the primitive tribe that first discovered and
has used hoodia gordonii for thousands of years, also do not
consume these fillers They cut off a piece of the stalk, skin
it, and eat the core
Some hoodia reviews you’ll read will tell you about the
concentration being used in the products
For example, if you see 10:1 mentioned in the review or on the
product label, this means that 10 grams of the whole plant was
used to make 1 gram of the hoodia gordonii powder which goes
into the pills and capsules
If you think about this, you can see why sometimes buying a
hoodia 500mg product can be better than buying a 1000mg hoodia
product of another brand if the first is concentrated and the
second is produced from the whole plant, and stuffed with
fillers
The last thing to keep in mind when reading hoodia product
reviews is that many of these products also use metabolic
boosters in them that have stimulant properties
This is not necessarily a bad thing because hoodia itself does
not speed up your metabolism It works by causing you to not
feel hunger, thus potentially reducing how much you eat
However, some product manufacturers believe that adding
stimulants that also help increase your metabolic rate would
augment the effectiveness of the product, giving it even more
weight loss and fat loss punch
However, if you do not react well to stimulants like caffeine,
then it’s probably best to avoid any hoodia reviews for products
that contain stimulants and stick to ones that are just pure
hoodia gordonii, which current research seems to show does not
stimulate negatively
