Step #1: Buy only 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii. There are 13 known species of Hoodia plant, but only Hoodia Gordonii contains the active ingredients that are effective in appetite suppression. Products labeled as "100% Natural Hoodia" may contain little or no amount of Hoodia Gordonii plant. Unless you are buying 100% Hoodia Gordonii, you are wasting your money.
Step #2: Buy only products that are derived from the aerial (stem) parts of the Hoodia Gordonii plant. This is the fleshy fingers of the Hoodia plant and considered to be the most potent part of the Hoodia plant for appetite suppression. Products that contain bark, roots or other plant parts are thought to be less effective and waste of money.
Step #3: Avoid products that contain fillers, additives, bulking agents or other active ingredients. The label should state that the product contains only 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii. Products that contain 'proprietary blends' should be avoided. Always check the label for the amount of Hoodia contained in each dose to insure you're getting the recommended daily amount. Shy away from any company that is vague in listing their ingredients or not displaying their product label online.
Step #4: Avoid products that contain fat-burners or other stimulants. These work by raising your metabolic rate and have adverse side effects. Hoodia Gordonii is very effective in suppressing your appetite without raising your metabolism. Your goal is to consume fewer calories than you normally would, allowing you to eat healthier, lighter meals.
Step #5: The hoodia product should display a C.I.T.E.S Certificate issued by Cape Nature of South Africa. This certificate validates the authenticity and country of origin. The certificate ensures that the raw materials used for processing into product are authentic South African hoodia. Make certain that the copy on the Certificate is clear and legible and not a counterfeit. C.I.T.E.S stands for "The Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora", and since the Hoodia plant is a protected plant species, it can only be sold to exporters who have obtained this certificate. The Certificate also assures that hoodia has been legally obtained, thus insuring the San Bushmen are paid their fair share of royalties.
Step #6: In addition to Step #5, make sure the product contains an Independent Lab Report issued from either Alkemists Pharmaceuticals or ChromaDex. It is very difficult to distinguish between Hoodia Gordonii and the other Hoodia varieties. The lab authenticates the origin and quality of the hoodia in the product, and without it there's really no way of knowing that the product you are buying is authentic and of highest quality. You can be assured that all premium hoodia brands display this report, while the 'scammers' do not. The report should have a Lot Number verifying that the batch tested corresponds with the Lot Number on the product label. Avoid companies that do internal testing or use labs other than Alkemist Pharmaceuticals or ChromaDex.
Step #7: Avoid products that claim to contain large amounts of Hoodia in each pill or liquid extract. These companies are either making bogus claims or have significantly diluted their product with fillers, additives or other bulking agents. 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii is expensive with a market value ranging from $275 to $320 per kilo. What they are offering sounds too good to be true. Also, taking huge amounts of Hoodia is a waste, and as with any over-the-counter or natural product, could be hazardous to your health.
Step #8: Avoid products such as hoodia patches, gums, teas, coffees and shakes. These are merely gimmicks, and in all likelihood, a waste of your money. Stick with the Hoodia pills and liquid extracts for now- these are proven to work. Once you find a brand that works, you can always try their other products in combination.
Step #9: Be wary of any company offering a FREE TRIAL offer for hoodia products. Shy away from any company requiring you to agree to receive Hoodia product on an ongoing basis when accepting their FREE TRIAL offer. These companies ship the product to you every month and charge your credit card without you even having to initiate the reoccurring transactions. It's been reported that in many of these FREE TRIAL offers the hoodia wasn't even authentic, and to make matters worse, it was nearly impossible to get the companies to stop shipping product and billing your credit card each month. Reputable companies will send you friendly reminders when it's time to reorder product. You decide whether you wish to reorder, and initiate the credit card transaction.
Step #10: Buy from companies that allow you to try Hoodia free for up to 30 days, and if not completely satisfied with the product, return it for a refund. You are usually required to pay the return shipping, and in some cases, a small restocking or handling fee. Make certain to check the company's website and read all the terms and conditions that apply for returning the product. Some offers are only good on single bottle orders. Shy away from any company that doesn't have a refund policy clearly defined. After all, you want to be able to try out their product to see if it actually works.
Step #11: Select an established company and make sure they have a customer service phone number, not just an email address. Also check the company's reputation by searching the internet-you can uncover a lot of dirt on a company by simply searching on the brand name and including the word "scam" in the search box. If the company is located in the United States, check with the Better Business Bureau for a report about the company's marketplace record. Look for a "trustmark" from BBBOnLine or another reputable organization and click on that seal to confirm that it's valid.
Step #12: The internet is flooded with Hoodia product reviews and charts comparing the top brands. You need to be aware that some review sites are setup to tout one brand over other competing brands. In fact, a couple of sites, that often appear on page #1 in search engine, have brands with the greatest number of complaints occupying the top spot. As convincing as these review sites look, you should always do your due diligence and find other sources for independent, unbiased information.
