There are several species of Hoodia. Hoodia Gordonii in particular, is a rare plant that grows in South Africa. Hoodia Gordonii is difficult to grow and only grows under certain climatic conditions that the South African region offers. It takes approximately 5 to 7 years for the Hoodia succulent to mature and provide appetite suppressing qualities. And most importantly, only Hoodia Gordonii has the molecule that effectively suppresses one’s appetite.

Because of the rising demand for Hoodia and the fast depleting supply of the real stuff, many companies are selling Hoodia grown in China, Mexico, even down in Texas, and it has become clear that these other varieties do not contain the active ingredient that has been identified in the South African Hoodia plants. The BBC reported in 2003 that it tested the “leading brand of Hoodia pills” sold in the U.S. and found no discernible evidence that the pills contained any active Hoodia. Some tests have revealed Hoodia material which was clearly mixed with cellulose, saw dust or Nopal cactus.

Before you purchase any product containing Hoodia, make sure they use a reputable source. Do they have proof they are Certified Pure from South Africa and that their product is created from South African government approved Hoodia Gordonii? Have they had their Hoodia tested by independent laboratories to verify the quality and purity of the raw materials used?
