Hoodia gordonii: Reputable Hoodia Supplies

Reputable Manufacturers

Most of the companies from whom you buy hoodia products actually source what they sell from a large-scale manufacturer and it's what that manufacturer does that ultimately determines the quality of the product being sold to you.

Hoodia — What Reputable Manufacutrers Do

In the previous section you learnt about what disreputable companies do to generate their 'product'. In effect a reputable company will do precisely the opposite of everything highlighted in that page. This includes:

Only using pure Hoodia gordonii cultivated in goverment-run farms in the Kalahari Desert and as Hoodia gordonii is a protected species only a few companies have a permit to legally export Hoodia (companies such as Bushman Hoodia, Hoodia Diet Sense, Pure Herbal Extracts, to name but a few).

Only use the heart of the Hoodia stem. This is the only part of the plant that contains the active compount, p57 and it's the only part of the plant the the Bushmen of the Kalahari use.

All reputable companies will pay the San Bushmen of the Kalahari Desert a royalty. As the discoverers of the appetite-suppressing qualities of Hoodia, it is only right that the San Bushmen are compensated for their discovery. In addition, since Kalahari Desert Hoodia is illegal to harvest from the wild — the only way to legally get Hoodia from the Kalahari Desert is from the government run farms.

Assaying: Though generally sold as a 'food supplement' Hoodia is a pharmaceutical and should be treated as such. A reputable company will have a high-standard clean manufacturing process and will be able t osupply an assay as regards the quality and purity of their product at every stage in the manufacturing process. They should be able to supply this laboratory assay with every order sold.

Hoodia, Reputable Products?

Independent tests suggest that HOODOBA is the preparation with the highest and purest content of Hoodobia gordonii. They also have a liquid product that may well be more efficacious that the sandard capsules. They will also supply you with a full laboratory break-down of any product you buy from them.

Another recommended Hoodia product is Hoodia Super Slim 400 that is produced by a reputable manufacturer and sold by a reputable supplier. Again, you will be supplied with a full laboratory break-down of the product if you purchase from them.
