Tips for Buying Hoodia Diet Supplements to Prevent Being Scammed

Hoodia Gordonii has become world famous after the ‘60 Minutes Show’ and the ‘BBC Report’, both of which talk about the power of Hoodia Gordonii in suppressing the appetite. As a result, Hoodia Gordonii has become much sought after. It not just the consumers who are after it, it also the companies which want to cash in on its popularity. Consequently, you have a lot of companies trying to make money by selling fake Hoodia diet product. So how can you tell the fake from the original? Here a look at how to do this.

First of all, you need to know that any company selling genuine Hoodia diet products, will display the CITES certificate and the Analytical Report in their website. Lab tests verifying the genuineness of their product will also be put forth in the site. These are proofs which indicate that the company is using 100 % raw Hoodia Gordonii, purchased from South Africa. If you don’t find any of these signs of proof, simply discard the product as it is another fake. 

Beyond these obvious facts, you need to be aware of the types of offers made to lure consumers into buying fake Hoodia products. You may get an offer from a company which gives you a free trial of their Hoodia product. In order to get the trail offer, they tell you to enroll in a monthly autoship program. During the first month the offer is free, after that it becomes quite expensive. This will obviously make you want to cancel the autoship. When you try to do this, your request is ignored and the company pretends like they never received the cancellation request from you. They will just keep sending you the product and billing you. This is one hassle; you don’t want to get into.

You will find some companies claiming that their products contain pure Hoodia. This can be ascertained as true only after looking into the CITES certificate, lab report and the Analytical report, which the company should display in their website. Otherwise this is a fake product because they could be using any other Hoodia species and not Hoodia Gordonii in their product to make this claim.
