How to Make Sure You Receive Pure HoodiaLooking for a pure South Africa hoodia product is like digging for gold. It is definitely out there but is very hard to find. However, you can increase your chances of locating a pure hoodia product if you know what to look for while shopping. This information is usually provided in consumer reviews and customer reports. Usually products that contain the most natural form of this Kalahari Desert-native plant will past laboratory authenticity tests. With that, only 6 out of 17 sold in the United States (and probably other nations of the world) are actually genuine products. Genuine Products According to a report published on one website, the list of pure hoodia products includes Desert Burn, Hoodoba Pure, Dr. Wheeler’s Afrigetics, King Hoodia, Hoodia Max, and Ethno Africa. This may not necessarily be an exhaustive list, as this information is only about US-marketed products. However, it stands to reason that this info can be useful for people living in other parts of the world. Counterfeit Products The list of counterfeit products is long and growing longer every single day. The reason why many products have failed authenticity tests is because they were not aware that the raw materials they used to make their hoodia products are not pure. However, in other cases companies were definitely aware that they were not selling the real thing. Moreover, they have used deceptive processes by which to fool people. Deceitful Marketing and Distribution Practices One of the most common ways manufactures deceive people is by displaying phony lab reports on their websites. Worse yet, some companies will even require customers to pay an extra charge to receive these false reports. Another tactic used by companies who sell market their products as “pure hoodia” is to include up to 90% fillers with each dose of this weight loss aid. This is particularly the case with capsules, in that they are easy to fill with sawdust, leaves, succulents, and or other ineffective portions of this plant. One of the most deceptive tactics used by manufactures who claim they have the genuine version of this product is providing quality samples. Then, once the consumer is hooked they replace it with a lower grade version of this product. In the worst case scenario suppliers of supposed “pure hoodia” will send out a product that contains no hoodia at all once a commitment is made by a customer to become a regular buyer. Notes for Merchants Before you invest in a particular product, you may want to know where the source of hoodia comes from. This will ensure that you sell the highest-quality version of this popular supplement. If your product is not on the list of lab-tested items in which displayed positive results you are advised to research the company further. You are also advised to look further into brands developed by companies. The best way to determine whether you are receiving a genuine product for resale is to determine whether the supplier of it holds a C.I.T.E.S certificate. This is a document issued that authorizes companies to export this product straight from South Africa to be used in manufacturing products to be marketed.
