Searching for natural appetite suppressant you will probably find a confusing choice of pure Hoodia gordonii products and brands claiming to be 100% natural from this rare Hoodia gordonii plant.

But how can you be sure you are buying licensed Hoodia Gordoni planted in Kalahari desert? Overfilled Hoodia diet pills market raises appearance of fake pills and as result there are many consumer claims being made. As an old Hoodia gordonii consumer, I've prepared few guidelines to get you avoid mistakes when comparing Hoodia gordonii products.

Wild Hoodia Gordonii. This is the only original pure Hoodia Gordoni made by nature, that is used by the San Tribe of South Africa Kalahari desert. They eat the Aerial Stem parts, which provides appetite decreasion and other herbal benefits. The biggest part of Hoodia gordonii products is filled with Hoodia from pulpy leaf and flora parts, rather than from the core Ariel stem of the Hoodia Gordonii plant.

Greenhouse Cultivated Hoodia. These plants grows outdoors and have some valuable vitaminic benefits. Desert sun exposures outdoor cultivated Hoodia plants just the same as the Wild Hoodia plants.

Growing a wild Hoodia plant on man made farms makes huge complexity, because Hoodia gordonii plant needs exact conditions like in Kalahari desert.

Farmers are fighting with wide range of pests and diseases in order for the Hoodia gordonii to grow fine. Recent droughts have limited re-issuing of Hoodia farm licenses.

Hoodia with fillers - that means that Hoodia pills contains other ingredients, which are cheap. The thing is that Hoodia gordonii itself is the most effective appetite suppressant. There is no need to mix it with any chemicals or additives. Natural Hoodia Gordonii is extremely rare. It takes up to five years(!) to mature for harvesting.

Demand for Hoodia gordonii pills is huge, so many fly by night companies have taken to the Hoodia trade. Hoodia is being shipped from everywhere(Hoodia grows not in South Africa only), but not from South Africa Kalahari desert. We can only imaging the quality of these unregulated Hoodia shipments. Natural Hoodia Godonii is rare and extremely expensive compared to other diet pills.

Hoodia Extracts also refered to as 20:1, 5:1 , 2:1 that means you are taking 5 parts of one product to make 1(if 5:1) using active ingredient only. So, when extracting Hoodia gordonii you threw out few supporting ingredients. Researches have shown that without the supporting ingredients much of the Hoodia's benefits are lost.

These plants have outstandung supporting properties, but when they are extracted they are lost and some of the extracts don't work as well without them. Hoodia gordonii is among them. As a supplement it is best taken in its purest form and not from extract.

20:1 and 10:1 Hoodia extracts cannot support themselves financially, if made of pure Hoodia Gordinii, unless otherwise filled with a host of additives.

There are number of Hoodia Gordonii companies that offering a trial sample of Hoodia product. 99% that it's not natural pure Hoodia Gordonii! Pure Hoodia cost is rather high to make such kind of marketing. From other hand, there are options when you can get few bottles for free when buying much at once. That companies are more likely selling pure Hoodia.

In my next hubs I'll try to compare popular Hoodia brands like Trim-Fast, h57, 750, Supreme, Desert Burn, GNC and Pure Hoodia.
