The diet supplement Hoodia Gordonii has gotten a lot of press
lately. It has been featured on the news show 60 Minuets, and more
recently on the Today Show. With all the buzz surrounding Hoodia and
its ability to control ones appetite it didn’t take long for diet
pill makers to jump on the Hoodia bandwagon.

While it shouldn’t surprise anyone that these companies would want
to include Hoodia in their formula, but the problem is Hoodia is in
very short supply and is basically only grown in the Kalahari
Desert. The inability to acquire a significant amount of real Hoodia
hasn’t stopped some diet pill makers from making false claims about
their products containing 100% pure Hoodia. The reality is that
these products either contain no Hoodia at all, or they have just a
trace amount that will have absolutely no effect what so ever.

They can get away with this because the nutritional supplement
industry is for the most part unregulated, so as long as your
product isn’t hurting anyone the government isn’t going to step in
over untrue or misleading claims.

Does this mean that all Hoodia products are scam? Absolutely not,
you just have to do some homework to uncover the companies that are
tied in to a supply of real Hoodia. There are very few of these
companies that are able to get their hands on real Hoodia for two
reasons. First, there just isn’t that much grown, and second it’s
grown in South Africa, and dealing with the government is far from a
democratic process.

Some of the Hoodia diet pills that do contain verifiable 100% pure
Hoodia are Desert Burn and Hoodoba Pure. These two products have
gone to great lengths to document and prove that they are indeed the
real thing. As for all the fakes out there, well their days are
numbered because a company called Stella Labs has stepped in and
vowed the standardize the testing of Hoodia.
