Many hoodia gordonii sites mention the hoodia and Oprah connection. Which is the reason?

Well, Americans value Oprah’s opinion so highly. As a celebrity, consumers follows her recommendations. Any product or book mentioned by Oprah become best seller.

The hoodia Oprah connection started in July of 2005, when an article in “O” magazine called “Diet Pills, The Next Generation” comented on hoodia gordonii diet pills. First article which boosted hoodia sales was a BBC article authored by Tom Mangold, and hoodia became well known in Europe. Then the reporters of 60 minutes aired a program with interviews and the hoodia fever started in America. Then Oprah Winfrey helped to million americans know the hoodia gordonii diet pills

In most parts of this site we emphasize the fact that the best hoodia gordonii comes from South Africa. Even more, some cheap hoodia products might be counterfeited with mexican or chinese hoodia or other hoodia varieties. The most frequent situation is that counterfeited hoodia does not have hoodia at all.

Is it correct to say that the only hoodia gordonii as raw material comes from South Africa? The answer is NO. But let us explain some points about it.

The San tribes that discovered the hoodia gordonii effects some thousand years ago, were basically around the Kalahari desert. In fact, to wide the concept, the indigenous were experiencing the hoodia gordonii benefits at both the Kalahari and Namib deserts in Southern Africa.

It is true that South Africa as a nation discovered the hoodia gordonii benefits for weight loss. The CSIR is a south african national research agency and it was where main research started.

Furthermore, today, the largest commercial plantations are mainly established in South Africa. But not only there. In fact, other neighbour countries are harvesting hoodia gordonii, basically in an illegal form, because wild plantations are collected to be exported (smuggled shall be a better term to define the situation) violating the CITES convention.

CITES, a UN Watchdog organization for the protection of international trade in endangered species (both plant and animal), controls the harvests and exports of Hoodia Gordonii. Exports are under very tight control and every shipment must include documentation that proves the material is legal and licensed. Without this documentation, Hoodia Gordonii cannot be exported out of South Africa to world markets. 

But even when the best product is obtained today from South Africa, and south african hoodia gordonii is valued as the best, because natural habitat for the plant is found there, in no way we can assure hoodia gordonii may only be produced in South Africa.

It would be as if we should say that aloe vera must only be produced in South Africa or Socotra because originally the plant was found wild there. As we deal daily into the aloe business, -a succulent as the hoodia gordonii, almost a sister plant- we know that mexican or venezuelan aloe is as good as the south african one or even better. In the same line, coffee had a natural habitat in Arabia and Ethiopia but today Colombia is a leading supplier, and nobody is claiming about colombian origin.

We are being asked most of the time: which is the real answer to weight loss? Where is the road to be slim? Which is the best method? Which is the most natural diet?

We always say that the simple answer is to close your mouth. But it doesn´t work for most of us. It is hard to stop eating. We must to lean in something to help us. Hoodia gordonii has arrived to our lives to give some solution to this situation.

We repeatedly say that hoodia gordonii is here to help us, but it is not a magic solution. We must to be honest with you. Hoodia gordonii is not magic. Hoodia is going to help you, but you also have to help yourself.

And as any diet you start, the best recommendation is to consult your doctor, to get the best advice. Here is exactly the same: You must to consult your doctor before you buy hoodia products. Up to date Hoodia gordonii is believed to be safe and has no known side effects, but you must verify your health condition with your physician before using hoodia.

After your doctor gives OK, look for hoodia products that show all certificates. Search for CITES permits and other analytical reports. If you can not find such certificates, probably your are close to buy not genuine hoodia gordonii products.

There are some hoodia products which contain other natural appetite suppressants and these might work better for some people. Most of them contain natural stimulants, like green tea, cocoa or caffeine. Check the labels before you buy hoodia. Look at the ingredients. If you are sensitive to stimulants, you may experience unwanted side effects from these products, including increased heart rate, shaky hands, dry mouth, etc.

Price is a big consideration for many people. In general, hoodia products are more expensive than other appetite suppressants.

Hoodia Gordonii is a relatively new product into the weight loss markets into America and European countries. This powerful appetite suppressant is increasingly being sold mostly in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany and Spain, among other markets.

However, Hoodia commercial cultivation in South Africa is becoming in short supply due to the continuous growing demand for Hoodia diet pills.Therefore, some counterfeited products are flourishing into the market, made with other hoodia varieties (not Hoodia Gordonii) coming from Mexico and China.

Besides it, the real benefit to be obtained by the final customer is confusing, because of the qualities of Hoodia being used in different formulations, be as 100% Hoodia Gordonii powder or 20:1 Hoodia Gordonii extract. Even more, the quantity of Hoodia used, creates different pricing ranges, generating a misunderstanding on what you are receiving for the price to be paid, and finally, if all that will help reduce your weight.
