In other words – which part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant have they used?
Sounds fairly straight forward wouldn’t you agree – especially considering that since 2006, the FDA has required that all Hoodia sellers specify on their labels which part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant they have used – but it isn’t.
Many companies still resort to using the whole of the Hoodia Gordonii plant such as its leaves, flowers and roots, as it is cheaper.
This would be great if the whole of the plant contained the active ingredient for suppressing your appetite, but this is simply not the case. Only the aerial stem, the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has P57.
So check the label. If there is even a hint of another ingredient, they are either violating the agreement or they don’t use authentic Hoodia Gordonii.
Take UniqueHoodia for example. Their entire ingredients list is openly advertised both on their site and on their packaging. Why? To allow their customers to compare their laboratory testing to their ingredients and recognise that their supplement is real.

Hoodia Gordonii may look like a cactus but it is actually classified as a succulent. A succulent that has a family of over 13 varieties.
This is where the dupe gets more complicated.
There may be 13 types of Hoodia, but only Hoodia Gordonii contains the P57 molecule that is renowned for suppressing your appetite. No other Hoodia plant contains it, yet the number of supplements that contain the wrong Hoodia plant is incredible.
And their cover-up is pretty simple too. Read the word Hoodia, and most consumers we interviewed automatically thought this was an abbreviation of Hoodia Gordonii.
But read only ‘Hoodia’ on the label, and this vagueness is probably a sign that their supplement is made from either multiple Hoodia plants or a different one altogether.
More astounding was the fact that many companies don’t even realise they are using the wrong Hoodia.
Following a study by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, they discovered of the 80% they found to be fake; the majority of these companies honestly thought they had real Hoodia Gordonii. They had been duped too.
This might explain why these companies willing submitted their supplements to be tested in the first place.
Because who would willingly let their products be recognised as a fake? No one we know.
it sounds a simple enough question, yet it is surprising how many of us actually get duped by it.
And we know. We may have just said extra ingredients equal a fake product, but this is not completely true. There are the capsules themselves to consider.
Gelatin, magnesium stearate and stearic acid… find any of these 3 ingredients on the label, and they are simply what were used to make the capsules. Anything else such as caffeine… is a complete no, no.

According to recent studies, consumers need to take anywhere between 2,250-3,000mg of Hoodia per day to effectively suppress their appetite.
Now considering that most companies suggest you should take 3-4 of their capsules per day it would make sense that each capsule contains at least 400mg of genuine Hoodia Gordonii. The more Hoodia Gordonii there is per capsule, the more promising the results.
Yet despite these figures, Alkemist Pharmaceuticals discovered that the average Hoodia supplement only contained 25mg. A sixteenth of what you really need.
So what do you do?
There has been much controversy surrounding this figure and much confusion with it.
In CBS’s 60 minute report in 2004, they questioned the authenticity of pills that contained only 0.01%-0.1% of the active molecule P57.
In their review they believed it was impossible for pills to have this figure and still be genuine.
They are wrong.
Take a part the entire Hoodia Gordonii plant, and you’ll only find the active ingredient within the core. Not its leaves. Not its stem. But the actual core of the plant.
Yet within the core itself, there are many other active molecules at work that have nothing to do with appetite suppression. Only P57 has this unique quality.
So when you break this information down, it is highly plausible that 0.1% is accurate. All that truly matters is that ‘said’ companies use solely the core of the plant. Nothing else.
This is where many of our test subjects slipped up. Aside from containing ingredients other than the core of the plant, they contained as little as 25mg of Hoodia Gordonii.
Only UniqueHoodia met this criterion.
A product either contains hoodia gordonii or it doesn’t. Simple.
And a sure fire way to find out is through independent laboratory testing. Not their own specialist team. Not some group of unheard-of experts. But through a reputable company.
Now one of the best companies available is Alkemist Pharmaceuticals. Why? Because they have got the latest in scientific procedures and have got a strong reputation within the weight loss industry for having the best testing lab.
Their reputation is undisputable and any hoodia company who has used them, will not hide this fact – that is unless their product failed the test of course!
Saying that, there are other companies whose reputations are just as credible: CNL.
Many companies may opt for just Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, but UniqueHoodia have gone one step further and have got both. Alkemist Pharmaceuticals AND CNL.
Why? To improve the credibility of their product, and to show their customers that their Hoodia supplement has passed more than one, but two tests.
