Which Hoodia Products Are Not Worth The Money?

There are many different discussions going on concerning the value and benefits of Hoodia diet pills these days. Many people who have used Hoodia swear by its value as a diet aid, some say it is a waste of good money. Sadly, as with any supplement or medication; many people simply will not react well to Hoodia. Our physiologies are very different person to person, so a product that works for me may in fact not work for you. Another possible reason these folks may have not gotten the benefits they expected from Hoodia is that they may not have been taking authentic Hoodia Gordonii.

So many of the products on the market today claiming to have Hoodia in fact do not, they are simply put fakes or have so little of the product to mean it would be useless to use. The percentage of fake Hoodia products on the market today has been estimated at as much as 80%, making it easy to see how one can be scammed.

The biggest concern a dieter will face is how to ensure that the Hoodia they are taking is real. Recently, a press release from the President of the largest importer of Hoodia stated that the harvesting of in situ Hoodia Gordonii has been brought to a halt. This press release also stated that any Hoodia coming onto the market has been cultivated on a farm. Wild Hoodia is more effectual than farm grown Hoodia and in fact farm grown Hoodia may actually be useless in doing the job of appetite suppression.

The President went on to state that wild Hoodia takes as long as 5 to 6 years to mature and gain the necessary agents that help in diet suppression. This is in direct opposition to the farm grown Hoodia which is harvested in as little as 2 years. When wild Hoodia is left to grow on its own, its potency is approximately 0.34 to 0.35 %, farm grown Hoodia's potency is only 0.1% and less.

For the consumer this means when the products containing wild Hoodia that are on the market now are depleted, only the farm grown products will remain. No one knows exactly when the wild Hoodia stock will be gone but what will this mean to you, the dieter? Either the industry will have to wait on the farm grown to mature full time or the dieter will have only those products that have the undesirable and immature Hoodia to choose from.
