Effective Weight Loss Pills – Review of Hoodia

Hoodia gordonii is one of the top effective weight loss pills that really work without side effects. It is used for generations by the indigenous bushmen of Southern Africa who eat the meat of the plant to help suppress their appetites during their hunting trips in the Kalahari desert. A cactus-like plant, there are thirteen species of it, but only Hoodia gordonii has the ingredient P57 that is responsible for suppressing the appetite, thus you find yourself eating less. The rest of the plant has no effective ingredient that can contribute to weight loss.

By reducing your food cravings, Hoodia may be the answer to the weight problems of those who finds it difficult to stick to a diet. Hoodia grows naturally in Southern Africa and over the years, over harvesting and high demand for this product has led to this crop being classified as an endangered species. It takes five to seven years for the Hoodia plant to mature before it can be harvested for its appetite suppressing quality.

This has led to imitations or those that are cheaper but not 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii. Basically speaking, pure Hoodia is hard to find and expensive. A review by Alkemists Pharmaceuticals of Hoodia pills available in the market led to the discovery that about half of the products do not contain any hoodia at all. Some have been reported to contain saw dust. Hoodia that originates from USA or China tend to be less effective and of an inferior quality.

It is illegal to export Hoodia from South Africa without a CITES certificate. CITES stands for “the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora”. This ensures the quality and authenticity of the product. When buying pure Hoodia Gordonii, make sure that a CITES certificate is available for review. The certificate would sate the country of origin. But be aware of CITES certificates that are not clear or falsified.

To be safe, to further ensure that what you are buying are genuine and effective weight loss pills, you can check if a Certificate of Analysis is available to prove the authenticity of the Hoodia. Besides this, an Organics Annex Certificate to prove that no middle men were involved in the whole process which could alter the Hoodia quality in any way would help buyers to be more confident that they are buying the real stuff. A minimum of 400mg of Hoodia per serving is required for effective weight loss. We have found that a company that fully satisfies all these requirements is UniqueHoodia.
