Government Regulations — Endangered Species Control
Real Hoodia is so rare, its sale and distribution are controlled
by C.I.T.E.S (International treaties that protect scarce and endangered plants and animals
strictly enforced by the government of each individual country).
Hoodia gordonii is one of those scarce and exquisite
plants protected by CITES.
Below is the Official South African CITES Permit for the Hoodia
used in Hoodoba.
BUYER BEWARE: YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAUTIOUS
OF HOODIA PRODUCTS BEING SOLD THAT ARE NOT ACCOMPANIED BY UP-TO-DATE INDEPENDENT TESTING
CERTIFICATES PROVING THEIR AUTHENTICITY!
Despite the clear cut
history and indisputable
proof of what real Hoodia can do,
there remains a great deal of confusion
in the marketplace.
Fact is, of thousands of Hoodia brands, vendors,
powders, and liquids (many with CITES documents
similar to the one above) appearing on the Internet
and on your local health food stores and pharmacy
shelves claiming to have real Hoodia, only a
minute few actually do.
Intentional or not, this has become
a very serious problem.
Not only does this misrepresentation
cause trusting people to lose faith
and dismiss Hoodia as just another
hype, it also makes it very difficult
for genuine Hoodia suppliers to broaden
the scope beyond the thousands who
have already benefited from this
incredibly effective appetite suppressant.
A word about Alkemist's Certificates of Authenticity
Two things to bear in mind. When it comes to Certificates of
Authenticity, RANDOM (analyzed without prior notification) is better than planned
(analyzed after notification); AND, INDEPENDENT (certified by an outside independent
lab) is better than Internal (certified by the vendor's lab or an affiliated lab).
A FINAL WORD OF
CAUTION: YOU SHOULD BE VERY CAUTIOUS
OF HOODIA PRODUCTS BEING SOLD THAT SAY THEY'RE PURE BUT ARE
NOT TRULY PURE!
The "Other Ingredients" (O.I.) Label Trick.
Unless a manufacturer explicitly declares
"Other ingredients" as "None," it can list
any fillers and additives as "Other ingredients"
and legally declare the product's full
gross weight as being Pure Hoodia gordonii.
This is called the O.I. label trick.
Before you buy we suggest you examine any Hoodia products labeled
as "Pure." Compare them with Hoodoba®
Brand Pure Hoodia.
You'll see that Hoodoba® PURE is the only American-made Hoodia gordonii product that contains
nothing else beside 100% PURE Hoodia gordonii,
with absolutely no fillers, additives, or
other ingredients added.
