The Different Types of Hoodia

Most people have heard about Hoodia weight loss pills and know that they claim to eliminate the appetite and make it easier to consume less food, but many individuals don’t realise that there are many different types of Hoodia — and these varieties vary significantly in their performance.

The Hoodia succulent is a genus of thirteen species including Hoodia gordonii — the only Hoodia effective for appetite suppression and weight loss. Hoodia gordonii develops in the wild in South Africa and Namibia and has been ingested by the local San people for centuries. The San tribe discovered that consuming this cactus-like plant prevented hunger and thirst (which was particularly useful during long hunting trips where water and food were likely to be hard to find). You may have noticed that I said “cactus-like”…While Hoodia gordonii appears to be a cactus, it isn’t a cactus at all, it’s a succulent (or water retaining plant).

When Hoodia gordonii is collected from a wild-growing plant it’s the best performing for appetite elimination and weight reduction. Unfortunately, most companies cannot get hold of this “wild-crafted hoodia” and alternatively are forced to sell “cultivated Hoodia”. Cultivated Hoodia is hand-planted and has been in the soil for a maximum of five-seven years — this means it hasn’t had an opportunity to grow to maturity and is much less potent and powerful. Most Hoodia weight-loss items are cultivated, adulterated or fake entirely. Adulterated Hoodia weight loss pills are made by watering down genuine Hoodia gordonii, usually cultivated Hoodia, by blending it with other ingredients. These items are cheap and not nearly as effective as Pure wild-crafted Hoodia gordonii. Even more fraudulent are businesses that sell fake Hoodia.

Hoodia’s recent popularity has brought many fraudulent businesses into the Hoodia market. These companies produce pills from rice powder (or other fillers and chemicals) and sell them as “Hoodia diet pills”. These products are harmful, worthless and really should be avoided no matter what.

Hoodoba was the first company to bring Hoodia weight loss pills to the United States and was lucky enough to sign an exclusive twenty year contract with the premier South African wild-crafted Hoodia distributor. Because of this, Hoodoba is able to provide you with the most effective, purest Hoodia weight loss products. Not any other business has access to the high-quality wild-crafted Hoodia gordonii that Hoodoba does — this is the reason their Hoodia items are stronger, more effective and safer than every other diet pills or weight loss products.
