If you live in the UK and wish to buy a Hoodia diet product it makes sense to buy from a UK based company.

There are two main reasons for this:

Firstly, with no disrespect to our American cousins, shipping costs and any possible customer service issues are dealt with more economically and efficiently when buying from the country in which you live.

Secondly, with a slight disrespect to the Americans, a majority of their Hoodia diet products are highly dubious and do not contain the raw powder preferring to use the cheaper, ineffective Hoodia extract.

For the uninitiated raw powder is very effective at suppressing appetite whereas Hoodia extract isnt.

USA Hoodia Slimming Pills

If you were to purchase Hoodia product fom the United States the commonly sold brands are the likes of Hoodia Balance, Hoodobo, Hoodia Desert Burn and the like.

These products are priced at around $39 – which at the present exchange rate makes them half the price of the leading UK products.

Raw Powder

The raw powder is relatively expensive to produce and can take up to 4 years from harvest to encapsulation – this is the reason why genuine Hoodia retains a premium price point.

A standard sized vegecap can hold just over 400mg of raw powder and three times as much of a less dense substance – if the hoodia you are planning to purchase contains over 500mg it is highly likely to not be raw powder.

UK Hoodia Slimming Pills

One of the most successful UK based diet producers is Unique Hoodia. Unique Hoodia supply the genuine raw powdered product and try not to deceive.

Pure Hoodia – one of the oldest Hoodia brands also based in the UK.

Hoodia Gordonii is the most potent form of suppressing the appetite known to man. It is a natural substance harvested from the dessert like areas of the Kalahari.

There are currently dozens if not hundreds of “Hoodia” products to buy over the counter at your local store or via the web. The weight loss pill industry have made millions from the name since it benefits to dieters were discovered. This is largely due to the media late last century (1990’s) touting it as the “cure for obesity” and the most exciting discovery for people in need of weight loss…ever.

Media Hysteria was further fueled by high profile celebrities such as Oprah Winfrey unashamedly plugging products and attributing their slender figures to the properties of Hoodia.

What Is Hoodia

Without elaborating too much, Hoodia Gordonii is a plant often described as a cactus. It grows in arid conditions and quite poetically where food is sparse. Tribesman have been using the cactus for centuries to reduce and stave off hunger while on exploration and hunting ventures.

Contrary to popular belief it is not “Hoodia” that is responsible for suppressing the appetite but just one of 13 substances extracted from the plant. This substance is called p57. The other 12 are relatively useless for weight loss.

Are All Hoodia Slimming Pills The Same

Absolutely not, it seems adequate to emblazon Hoodia across a product for the consumer to falsely believe that they are getting the appetite suppressing ingredient.

p57 can take years to extract and so is not cheap – genuine Hoodia will always carry a CITES certificate The Hoodia Gordonii plant is now an endangered species and is harvested under strict guidelines.

No doubt you will have seen the many Hoodia adverts in magazines and on the web. Be very wary – it is estimated that over 80% of Hoodia branded diet pills are either man made or do not have the p57 substance present in its formula.

Any Side Effects With Pure Hoodia

Genuine, authentic CITES certified Hoodia does not pose a risk to health – one effect that may be experienced is a slight mood elevation or a natural high, so a positive effect rather than a negative.

Where To Buy Genuine Pure Hoodia

Pure Hoodia, as the name suggests is Pure, authentic and carries certification. It is harvested from its South African origin and exported to the UK, America and across Europe. Pure Hoodia are the original importers. Buy from direct from source.

Pure Hoodia  have been importing since the mid nineties.

But this underlines that Pure Hoodia is pretty much industry standard and are most definatley not a fly by night company
