Q:
Where does the best Hoodia come from?
A: 100 % Hoodia
Gordonii powder comes from South Africa where it is grown under
commercial cultivation in compliance with South African Government
laws.
Q: Which
companies offer Real Hoodia Gordonii Succulent?
A: Purchase
from a company that only uses 100 % Hoodia Gordonii Succulent in
a refined powder form. The main reason for this is that you have
a better chance of it being genuine Hoodia Gordonii Succulent because
the refined powder is easier to authenticate.
Plus the refined
powder is the closest to the Hoodia Gordonii Succulent in it's natural
state. (Only water is removed from the plant before it is ground
into a fine powder.) Once you start adding other dietary ingredients
with the Hoodia Gordonii refined powder the identification process
gets more difficult but not impossible.
Q: What
is the difference between Hoodia Gordonii refined Powder and Hoodia
Gordonii 20:1 extract?
A: As stated
in the above answer the Hoodia Gordonii refined powder is the closest
you can get to natural Hoodia Gordonii succulent and it's specific
botanical markers are easily identifiable.
However the
theory is if you take 20 lbs of Hoodia Gordonii Succulent and you
extract it through an extreme heat and alcohol process you will
end up with a compound that is 20 (twenty) times stronger than it's
original mass.
Remember I said
"In Theory" because it might be 20 (twenty) times stronger
than the original material but that doesn't necessarily meant that
it's going to have 20 (twenty) times more of the substance that
you are wanting i.e. the P57 molecule.
Two huge suppliers
of Hoodia Capsules in America found this out, when both of their
products claimed to have Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract in them but
when they were independently tested there was no discernable Hoodia
Gordonii found in them let alone the P57 molecule. (Both companies
have since switched over to using all natural Hoodia Gordonii Succulent
refined powder in their products.)
There is a scientific
problem as well and that is that the natural Hoodia Gordonii Succulents
isolated markers that are identifiable in every Hoodia Gordonii
Succulent plant in the world is molecularly changed during the extraction
process and therefore it is scientifically impossible to identify
the original organic material used once it's been through the extraction
process.
Q: Would
Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract cost 20 times more then Hoodia Gordonii
refined powder?
A: Yes, so if
you see 2 (two) Hoodia Gordonii products using the exact same amount
of Hoodia Gordonii but one uses Hoodia Gordonii refined powder and
the other uses Hoodia Gordonii 20:1 extract the one with the 20:1
extract should theoretically cost 20 (twenty) times more then the
one that uses the refined powder.
Q: Why
is there such a big price difference for Hoodia Gordonii Succulent
products on the Internet?
A: Genuine Hoodia
Gordonii Succulent is expensive and it is getting harder and harder
to find. We recommend that you stay away from the cheaper so called
Hoodia products.
Did you know
that most of the Hoodia supply on the market is being mixed with
Optunia? Which means that you are getting a product with watered
down Hoodia lacking in the "active" ingredients.
To get the best
Hoodia on the market insist on a brand that displays the 'Certificate
of Analysis' on the site. This is very important.
Q: What
type of Hoodia is best?
A: There are
two types of source materials available to manufacturers of Hoodia
supplements.
The first is
is 100 % Hoodia Gordonii Powder and the second and more commonly
used type is what is known as a 20:1 Extract.
Genuine 20:1
extract have thus far proven not be as effective as the 100 % powder
and so while on the surface the term "20:1" sounds like
a more potent blend of Hoodia, this is not always the case as you
can usually tell by the price.
A genuine 20:1
extract should cost much more than pure powder.
