Trying to buy Hoodia over the internet can be one of the must frustrating experiences in life. There are so many choices, all seemingly the right choice...

How do you choose the best brand - and how do you know who to trust?

Fortunately, there are a few ways to separate all the hoodia scams from the honest vendors.

Before we go into what you need to know before deciding on the right Hoodia product, let's first explore what you should be suspicious of:

• A certificate that proves the seller is selling Hoodia. What you want to demand is a certificate from independent trials. These sort of trials require a tester to randomly purchase the product (as if they were a normal customer) anonymously and then test the product's contents.
• Testimonials from your 'average' person. They have nothing to lose - whereas if you've got a testimonial from a doctor or journalist or someone like that, who has their reputation on the line, then you should give that testimonial more credibility.
• Written testimonials from 60 minutes, Oprah, the BBC, and other news outlets about the effectiveness of Hoodia. Although these testimonials are genuine, they are about how well the Hoodia plant works in reducing your hunger in general - its got nothing to do with the actual product label being sold on that site. This means that these News testimonials could be used by any store selling any pill, with even a small amount of Hoodia in it. So, these testimonials don't guarantee that the type of Hoodia being sold on that site is going to work as well as it may seem. To get more information on how some sites use these type of testimonials in a very sly way, read our article on Hoodia On Oprah And 60 Minutes.
• Synthetic Hoodia products which have a mixture of Hoodia with another drug. It is hoodia that causes you to feel full, you don't want to buy diluted pills in any way. And you don't want to deal with the side-effects of any other ingredients that may be present with the Hoodia in these type of pills.

So that's a short list of what to look out for to be careful. You need to know more though to protect yourself. You need to actually find a company that you can trust because of what they do, not what they say. Get facts, not promises, that automatically weed out all the potential scamsters, and only leave you with the top Hoodia suppliers so you get your money's worth - and lose weight.

We've looked high and far on the internet to find such a company. Look at what this company does that makes it stand out over all others in the internet (that sell Hoodia):

• Its products have 100% Pure P57 Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa and nothing else on the ingredients label. There are no other ingredients, additives or fillers in the capsule, tablet, pill or in its liquid form - just look at the label. If they aren't showing you the label on the website, you may have to be a little suspicious. Again, don't fall for companies just selling 'Hoodia' - remember there are many versions of the Hoodia plant;
• Their Hoodia is organically grown, and not a synthetic compound. Real hoodia Gordonii takes 4 years to mature and 6-7 years to be at its peak. As you know, it's not widely available.
• A certificate of authenticity from a respected Testing company (Alkemists Pharmaceuticals) that conducts random anonymous trials to ensure that what is claimed on the ingredients label is actually what is delivered. You can even look at the certificates and the number of random tests that have been done. They are one of a handful of companies that are willing to put their product on the line for continued testing so you can continue to trust them.
• Endorsements from respected independent third parties such as Doctors or journalists that put forward their name in their endorsement, about the actual product label.
• They've had one of their successful clients featured on CNN and CBS news reports (you can watch the video on their website.)
• They've invested in farms in South Africa to ensure that will continue to have access to the highest quality form of Hoodia Gordonii in the long run. No other company we could find have made such an investment and is a sign of their commitment to delivering quality.
• They continue to provide royalties to the traditional Bushmen of South Africa who have used Hoodia for centuries. How many other companies would continue to make this payment to sell their hoodia?
• They are C.I.T.E.S certified, which means they have permission to export the Hoodia out of South Africa legally under international law. Many companies on the internet don't have this.
