What you should know about Hoodia extract
There is no such thing as an extract form of an original pure Hoodia Gordinii, for one simple reason.
Groups who say that they are selling ‘Hoodia extract’ are in fact subtly hiding the truth that their product is not 100% pure Hoodia Gordinii. At best it will contain about 60% Hoodia Gordinii.
The remaining 40% possibly consists of other parts of the plant such as the flowers or leaves or even from the other 13 Hoodia species with no appetite suppressant capabilities as well as caffeine.
In all likelihood, the label of the products claiming that this is a pure Hoodia Gordonii extract is misleading since it is made up of only 60% of the genuine plant. It is only in the central part of the plant where the active ingredient P57 can be obtained.
Unfortunately, some manufacturers of this likely efficient appetite suppressant have no scruples when it comes to saving costs to gain more profit.
It is advisable to thoroughly peruse the product’s label before letting go of your precious money.
So the only ingredients that you should see on the label are the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, gelatine, magnesium stearate and stearic acid.
The addition of these other ingredients might make you wonder now - there goes the 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii definition. Not quite, because the other ingredients are necessary to form the capsules.
These ingredients will have no bearing in the degree of the product’s purity. They are just used to be able to convert the powdered form of the plant core to the more handy capsule form.
Aside from the above mentioned ingredients, any more additional ingredients would make it adulterated, and the word ‘extract’ is a subtle way of saying this is only 60% Hoodia Gordonii.
Further reports about these arguments get more salacious.
On a test made by the Alkemist Pharmaceuticals it was confirmed that 80% or more of the Hoodia Gordonii products now being sold are not pure.
But to all you dieters out there do not lose hope because there are still genuine products available whose authenticity are supported by cynical testing and CITES certificate. Just be diligent in checking the labels so as not to be duped.
