Beware of Fake Hoodia

You are free to buy any product you choose but before you spend your money and select a  Hoodia product  arm yourself with a little knowledge.

There is only one place in the world where Authentic Hoodia Gordonii is grown for the commercial market and that is the continent of Africa where  Hoodia is controlled much like the diamond market. Hoodia Gordonii grows and is harvested specifically from the Western Cape in the Kooroo Region.

No Hoodia is being harvested out of the Kalahari as some companies are reporting.

Many claim to have Hoodia Gordonii but in reality what they are offering you is a common cactus called Opuntia or Chinese 20:1 extract which is not South African Hoodia Gordonii much less real Hoodia.

A far worse condition exists where some products being sold on the net as "Hoodia" are nothing but capsules filled with "unidentifiable plant material", starch, rice powders, optunia and in some cases sawdust.

There are only an estimated 5 major farmers on the  African Continent currently authorized to grow Hoodia Gordonii and of these only one who is selling the raw powder directly to the USA market.

Real Hoodia costs in the neighborhood of $225 USD per kilo and only a company licensed by the FDA and USDA  to import Terrestrial Plants can buy the raw powder and bring it into the country.

At this price Hoodia Gordonii is one of the most expensive herbs on the market and many do not take the high road and go with fake to make more money instead of bellying up to the plate and paying for real material.

As long as internet hustlers can get away with it they will sell fake Hoodia to make a fast buck and avoid the real costs of dealing in authentic Hoodia Gordonii.

You must be smarter than the guys selling product from their apartments..

Please don't waste your money on a product that is fake and will not work.This hurts the legitimate Hoodia dealers and the whole industry.  Buy only products with a C.I.T.E.S  displayed along with Full Credentials and only then can you be confident that you are buying Real Hoodia.
