Depression 101

Hoodia Gordonii is known for its appetite suppressing qualities and is one of the most sought after weight loss supplements. But there is a multitude pf products that claim to be genuine hoodia gordonii and choosing one form them can be a a very hard task.

Out of these thousands Hoodia products a staggering 80% are fake. Most of them contain incorrect type of Hoodia plant or they come with just a hint of Hoodia Gordonii.

The following checklist can help you identify genuine hoodia gordonii product:

1. WHICH HOODIA PLANT HAS BEEN USED? Many companies try to trick you by being vague as to which hoodia plant they mean. So if you have a product which simply mentions hoodia, chances are it does not contain hoodia gordonii but 1 of the 13 other hoodia plants that exist. Out of the many varieties of Hoodia, it is only Hoodia Gordonii which contains the active ingredient P57 which is known to suppress appetite.

2. What part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has been used? Of the Hoodia Gordonii plant itself, only the core contains P57. Its leaves, flowers and roots are just redundant and are ineffectual at contributing to weight loss. Here in lies the problem. Although the leaves and flowers of the Hoodia Gordonii plant can offer nothing in relation to weight loss, many companies chose to use them. And by doing so are still able to claim that they are using 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii. Why? Because if you break this information down into its basic fundamentals, they are not strictly lying.

3. Are there any other ingredients? Make sure their are no other ingredients such as caffeine or fillers etc. This is because the presence of filers and other ingredients can reduce the effectiveness of Hoodia Gordonii. but, there is only one exception- the capsule ingredients which consist of gelatib. Even if it is in the ingredients your supplement is pure.

4. Is it an extract? Do not go for any thing that mentions that it contains 100% Hoodia Gordonii Extract. There is nothing like it and chances are that such a product is fake.

As such you can well imagine that there are many loop holes which have been used by many companies to sell their fake products.

But, in all probability you can get a genuine hoodia gordonii with the help of the above checklist.
