Issues on Hoodia Extract Answered
Posted Wednesday, April 01, 2009
Real pure Hoodia Gordonii cannot come in extracted form and the reason is simple. Companies producing the so-called 'Hoodia extract' are in reality just giving the consumers a partial product, at the maximum, it is just 60% pure Hoodia Gordonii. The rest of the product could be made from the leaves or the flowers or of the plant or worst from the other 13 varieties of the Hoodia which have no appetite controlling substance nor caffeine, which only pure Hoodia Gordonii has.
Consequently, the claim 100% Hoodia Gordonii extract is a fallacy since its most likely just 60% Hoodia Gordonii. The core of the plant exclusive contains the P57 substance. It is sad that unscrupulous companies can promote such half-truths to save on production costs of what should have been a very effective dietary supplement. Consumers should cautiously read the claims of the product before purchase.
The other ingredients that should be indicated on the label aside from the center part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant are gelatine, magnesium stearate and stearic acid. You might think will these other ingredients affect the purity of the product. No, it will not because these ingredients are needed to manufacture the product in capsule form. These ingredients will not necessarily affect the genuineness of the product. This makes it possible for the processed plant core to be made available in a more convenient form.
If you find any other ingredient listed there or even the word 'extract' then you will not be getting the genuine product. This would likely contain only 60% of the genuine Hoodia Gordonii. Other issues regarding the product sound worse. Based on the study made by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals more than 80% of the Hoodia Gordonii capsules floating in the market are not real.
This does not mean that all of the products out are not genuine pure Hoodia Gordonii capsules. There is a small percentage that are real as authenticated by their CITES certificate. The consumers just have to be vigilant in checking the label before making a purchase. One confirmed genuine product comes in the brand name UniqueHoodia. It is presented in a neat packaging and users are guaranteed of:
- Buying a 100% pure unadulterated Hoodia Gordonii
