If you're looking for Pure Hoodia ... here's how to tell ...

If you've spent any time at all looking for pure Hoodia, you may be feeling a bit confused!

To be honest, we were before we got involved selling Hoodia back in 2003.

What to watch out for when buying Hoodia:

• Pure Hoodia has active P57 content.
  P57 is the molecule in pure Hoodia that gives it strength. There are only a few companies that have tests to show P57 content. These companies use a test made available by Phytopharm (the company that 'discovered' how Hoodia works). Want pure Hoodia? Then you need to see tests by with P57 results. (Perfect Hoodia™ has these independent tests)

• The best pure Hoodia products use whole powder. Hoodia Gordonii, once grown, is harvested and dried. When it is sold on to supplements manufacturers, it is generally sold as 20:1, Hoodia powder. That simply means that 1mg of powder is equal to 20mg of undried plant.
  
  Some manufacturers use this 20:1 ratio and claim that their 20mg per capsule supplement has 400mg of Hoodia in it!
  
  The better supplements use full powder - so Perfect Hoodia™ uses 400mg of full pure Hoodia per capsule.
  
  How can you tell the difference? Very simply, the price. If it seems a bargain and cheap ... it's not pure Hoodia powder.

• Pure Hoodia has CITES documentation. The CITES document confirms that the Hoodia was obtained from Southern Africa. The only Hoodia Gordonii that has been shown to contain the P57 molecule is from Southern Africa.
  
  Some companies are growing Hoodia in China, Texas and India. No one has conducted tests to show that this Hoodia is as strong as pure Hoodia from Southern Africa.
