The Hoodia Scams Have Lasted Long Enough

By: Roberto Bell

The breaking news on Hoodia supplements is that most Hoodia Gordonii products available today are ineffective – essentially using fake hoodia. A well respected health author claims over 90% of the products are known to be fake. This data seems to be backed up my major testing facilities who are claiming similar numbers.

So we did some research of our own and there's buzz on a newer Hoodia Gordonii product called Natures Biology Hoodia Prime. We tested it on our human lab rat to see what she would say.

The results aren't what you might think they would be. But more on that in just a moment.

When was the last time you stopped and thought about the companies that create the natural health supplements you take? Often times, it is easy to assume that the regulatory forces that ensure our food is safe, our water is clean, and our medications are effective will ensure that everything we put in our bodies is safe and sound. Unfortunately, this is not always the case. Industries such as the natural health industry can be harder to regulate and with products like Hoodia Gordonii, which is supposed to be produced almost entirely in South Africa, and the shortcuts and scams that exist are more widely spread than many consumers realize.

So we tried Hoodia Prime. Our test subject took the recommended dosage. Nothing happened. We continued trying it, still nothing. It sure did seem like this was another hoodia Gordonii product that fell into the scam category.

But then by the end of day two, something happened. Our test subject said she was not hungry for dinner. A fluke? Maybe. Read on.

The next day she awoke and again was not at all hungry. This was definitely not the norm for this person, who typically ate a hearty dinner and would always eat a breakfast. She took her recommended dosage of two Hoodia Prime capsules in the morning with a glass of orange juice.

Again, throughout the day, no hunger whatsoever. She said she had to literally remind herself to eat, and when she did eat, she had to force herself, only because she knew she had to eat.

This Natures Biology Hoodia Prime was definitely working. But was it real Hoodia or something else that was causing the appetite suppression? Supplement companies have been known to put other things in their capsules, and we were going to find out if this was the case here.

The lot number on our bottle had been part of a big lot that was independently tested at Alkemists Pharmaceuticals. This company tests the majority of the Hoodia on the market and has found more fakes than you'll find at a plastic surgeons office.

Theses are the three tests performed:

Analysis of Identity and Purity
Analysis of Chromatagraphy
Analysis of Macroscopy and Microscopy

Using these three tests, a company isn't going to fool anybody with any fake Hoodia. There are things they can do to get around each test, but you can't fool all three tests at once.

What we found by reviewing the tests conducted on Hoodia Prime is that it's the real deal. It passed all three rigorous examinations without a hiccup, and was proved to be pure Hoodia Gordonii. In a world where 9 out of 10 Hoodia Gordonii products are worthless, Hoodia Prime stood out like a bright beacon.

Not only did it pass the lab tests, but it passed our own test in which our very own test subject used the product and testified to its effects. Natures Biology, the company that makes Hoodia Prime, claims it conducts its own lab tests at yet another lab facility.

So, our hats off to the folks at Natures Biology for bringing a quality product in Hoodia Prime to the market. Bravo.

Having said that, if you are considering any other product other than Hoodia Prime, consider that your Hoodia Gordonii product may be packed with things you don't know about. Since Hoodia took off as a weight loss product in recent years, companies have been using it as a front to sell essentially useless products to consumers who don't know the difference.

The main concern for many people, especially those who regularly take natural health products, is that they are getting what they paid for. The product needs to be the exact ingredients that are listed on the bottle – this is the very reason that there are laws in place requiring such labeling, to ensure those with allergies and special needs are able to accurately measure what they consume.

Yet, these precautions are worthless when companies such as those that produce counterfeit Hoodia Gordonii mislead people with their labels and produce products that are full of fillers such as sawdust, worthless plants from other countries, and succulents that can by highly allergenic. Not only that, but many times these cheap ingredients will interact with existing medications that a consumer may be taking, causing an increased risk of liver, heart, or brain damage.

So tread carefully before you buy something. Pure Hoodia is definitely effective at appetite control, as proven via our test. But just remember, 9 out of 10 Hoodia Gordonii products are believed to be fake.
