Weight Loss Aid

One of the surest ways to tell you are not receiving pure, authentic Hoodia Gordonii is its price. Find 90 pill packages for less than £10, and there is a reason why they are so cheap. They are not real.

You see, Hoodia Gordonii is rare. After years of overharvesting and high demand, the harvesting and export of this natural supplement has had to be regulated in order to prevent it from becoming extinct.

Now before you make the point that Hoodia Gordonii can be found elsewhere beyond Southern Africa, there is something you need to bear in mind. Yes, this plant can now be found in Texas and China, but it did not originate from there. It only naturally grows in South Africa.

Plus there is the noted fact the effectiveness of this plant can be greatly affected depending on the soil it is grown in. So whilst you may be able to find 100% authentic hoodia products grown in Texas and China, their ability to help you suppress your appetite can be greatly affected just by growing it in different soil.

And it is for this reason, and this reason alone, that genuine Hoodia Gordonii capsules are expensive. Its rare yet unique ability to create such incredible weight loss results has caused an exponential increase in demand. Don’t believe us?

Think we are just saying this to influence where you invest? We can prove it. Take a look at the following Hoodia Gordonii price comparison and you’ll soon notice a difference in pricing:

Hoodia Gordonii 400mg - £6.55

Hoodia Gordonii slimming tablets - £8.95

Hoodia Gordonii 1000 Plus - £9.80

Extra strength Hoodia Gordonii 800mg - £12.80

100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii (buy one get one free) - £24.99

Weight Loss – Hoodia Gordonii 9600mg - £29.95

UniqueHoodia - £37.37

As you can see, the price difference for just one months supply is over £30. And this is not a case of overpricing. The reason they are so different is because of the quality of the supplement. For example, do you really think anyone would realistically sell a supplement that it is so rare that it has to be regulated for harvesting, for only £6.55? No.

The only reason they are happy to sell it so low is because their ingredients are not completely authentic. So whilst hoodia products such as UniqueHoodia may cost more, the quality and effectiveness of this supplement alone will offer you weight loss results that will put the others to shame.

Take UniqueHoodia for example. In one compact package, consumers can experience the benefits of:

• Using 100% pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.

Weight loss cooking tips.

Losing weight doesn't have to be dull and boring. Nor does it have to spell the end to your favourite meals. In most cases it is all about making substitutions with your ingredients, which is achievable whilst still creating delicious dishes. Now most of the following tips are pretty straight forward, and will not make much of a difference to your food preparations, but some will prove more time consuming than others.

Don't worry. We have thought of everything to make this entire process easier, and once you have given it a try you'll soon be losing weight the fun way – eating appetising mouth-watering meals, at a fraction of the calories. So let’s get started.

We are confident that within these tips you'll find one to suit you and your weight loss management plan in no time.

1. Beef – by rinsing it down in hot water (once you have drained and browned it), you can reduce its fat content by 50% without affecting its flavour.

2. Substitute chicken broth for butter in all your pasta, rice and stuffing dishes.

3. Forget using oil and replace it with chicken/ beef broth or wine. Here you'll gain extra flavour without the added fat.

4. Use fruit juice, salad dressing or wine in your marinades instead of oil. This extra acidic taste will increase the taste whilst reducing the fat.

5. In pasta dishes use soft cheeses such as cottage cheese instead of full cheese.

6. Swap mozzarella cheese for cheddar cheese. This will cut its fat and calorie content by half.

7. Bake instead of deep frying. To do this simply add a beaten egg to your food and put them in a plastic bag. To coat them, roll the pieces in bread crumbs and add them to a baking tray. By doing so you will still be able to experience crispy coated meat and food, whilst reducing the fat that can be added by deep frying.

8. Use skimmed milk instead of whole. This will save you on a whole 8g of fat in one glass.

9. In your cakes, muffins and brownies, use yoghurt instead of oil. This will add nutritional value, whilst cutting down on the fat.

10. Use 2 egg whites instead of 1 whole egg.

And then just keep a record of all your ingredient changes.

Above are just 10 of the most common ones weight loss systems will tell you to use, but there are many more techniques that you can incorporate into your meals.

Whether they are ingredient substitutions or a complete recipe rewrite, it is possible to enjoy your favourite foods without having to worry about their fat or calorie content. So give them a try and see which tips work best for you.

You might be surprised by how much more you enjoy your healthier version.

Hoodia Gordonii price comparison. Your route to the truth.

One the most common tips you will ever be offered about Hoodia Gordonii supplements is to check their costs. And there is a very good reason why you should bear this point in mind. You see, due to the rarity of this plant it is now considered to be an endangered species. So endangered that exportation of this plant from South Africa is strictly controlled.

And, it is for this reason why real Hoodia Gordonii is so expensive to buy. So what is the point behind of all this we hear you ask?

Well if you go onto Google and type in ‘Hoodia Gordonii’ you will find an assortment of companies who will dare to tell you otherwise. Offering you 100 tablets of Hoodia Gordonii for just £24.99. If not less.

Now before you say – what is so wrong with that? – let us first set up a comparison for you of all the different Hoodia Gordonii supplements that are available.

We think once you see them, you’ll know exactly what we are talking about:

UniqueHoodia (90 capsules): £36.82

Hoodia Gordonii 9600mg Capsules (90 capsules): £29.95

100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii (100 Tabs - under a buy 1 get 1 free offer): £24.99

Hoodia Gordonii Diet Pills (90 Tablets): £19.95

EST Nutrition Hoodia Gordonii (60 capsules) £8.08

Hoodia- FX (60 capsules): £6.08

See the difference?

Between UniqueHoodia and Hoodia–FX there is £30 difference. Now whilst it can arguably be said that Hoodia-FX has 30 less capsules - even if you added another 30 capsules to its packaging; working on its current pricing it would only go up £3.04. Still no where near UniqueHoodia.

So what is the cause of these dramatic price differences? Simple. The Hoodia Gordonii supplements on the end of this scale are fake.

The manufacturers of these supplements have either: used the wrong type of Hoodia plant (there are 13 Hoodia plants in the family, but only Hoodia Gordonii contains the active appetite suppressing ingredient P57); they have used the entire Hoodia Gordonii plant (making 40% of the supplement ineffective due to the fact that only the core contains P57) or they are not using Hoodia Gordonii at all. And the reality is a lot of these ‘supposedly’ genuine Hoodia Gordonii supplements are doing this.

After all, what company would willingly sell 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii capsules for just £6.08 for 60 capsules? That would mean they are only charging 6 pence per pill. Similarly, companies who consistently offer buy 1 get 1 free offers on their Hoodia Gordonii supplements are lying.

Take 100% Pure Hoodia Gordonii. Whilst it may appear that they are charging £24.99 for 100 tablets, this package size is consistently on a buy 1 get 1 free offer, making their supplements real value £12.50 per 100 tablets. Scary isn’t it?

Of course examining just the price of your Hoodia Gordonii supplements isn’t enough to ensure you are completely receiving 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii. You need to examine its medical backing, CITES certificate and ingredients list too. But their prices do help to narrow this field down.

Offer your body easy, natural weight loss

Take Hoodia Gordonii supplement UniqueHoodia. Priced at £36.82 for 90 capsules, UniqueHoodia has got the medical backing of Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, has got a CITES certificate, Annex certificate and certificate of Analysis and has been clinically proven to:

• Increase energy levels and self esteem

And with no known side effects, consumers can take this supplement confident that their bodies are in safe hands. Order your packet of UniqueHoodia today. CLICK HERE.

Have you ever taken the time to check out the CITES certificates on Hoodia Gordonii supplements? If you did you would find that the majority of them are between 6 months to a year old. Now before you start worrying and wondering whether this length will make them less effective – let us explain.

You see before Hoodia Gordonii can be exported from South Africa, exporters need to get a CITES certificate. Once got, they have got up to 6 months to export it out of the country. So as you can see the date of issue on the CITES certificate is already 6 months old.

Then there is the next stage of reaching the manufacturer. By the time it has reached them and has been made into the supplement you see before you, it could be a year later. See what we mean?

As long as the certificate is up to a year old, then your Hoodia Gordonii supplement is fine to take. But what if you could offer your body the freshest in Hoodia Gordonii? A supplement that was harvested only a month before – would you be interested in offering your body a fresher alternative?

Well. There are such companies. UniqueHoodia for example can offer their customers an exact date due to their direct relationship with their exporter.

Due to the vast amounts of Hoodia Gordonii they order, UniqueHoodia have been able to cut out the middle man, ensuring that their Hoodia supplement has not been tampered or altered, and reaches them faster. Now we know any company can claim to offer fresher Hoodia Gordonii, but UniqueHoodia can literally prove this statement through their certificates and testing.

Tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and CNL, on their website you will also find:
Organics Annex Certificate – proves that there were no ‘middle men’ involved who could have interfered with the product while it was being exported to UniqueHoodia.

Certificate of Analysis – is issued to the Hoodia Gordonii supply before it enters the country, proving that it is 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii. This certificate shows that it was also tested under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography). And UniqueHoodia are not alone in this offering. Other Hoodia products – though not very many – can also match these claims.

So offer your body fresh, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii and experience the benefits of:
• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• Calorie reductions of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times more productive at reducing your appetite than glucose

So, order your packet of UniqueHoodia today.

Weight Loss, Hoodia and Exportation (v1).

When it comes to Hoodia Gordonii, most manufacturers will offer you a CITES certificates that date back as far as 6 months. Now whilst there is nothing wrong with it being 6 months old – after all Hoodia Gordonii is hard to export – seeing this number on your CITES certificate can decrease your confidence in its reliability. After spending so long in storage will it still have the same effect as raw, fresh Hoodia Gordonii?

The answer to this one is debatable, 6 months or a year the fact is your Hoodia Gordonii has been in storage for a while. But what if we were to tell you that there are Hoodia companies who can get it to you just a month after it was harvested. Companies who can then prove that what they are offering is real Hoodia Gordonii? Would you be interested in finding out more? Well it’s true.

Take Hoodia Company UniqueHoodia.

Due to the large amounts of Hoodia Gordonii they order, they have been able to cut out the middle man and purchase Hoodia Gordonii directly from a South African exporter. Making their raw Hoodia to capsule time short. Now we know that any Hoodia product can easily claim to do this, but the interesting thing is UniqueHoodia can back this statement up through their array of certificates.

Alongside having a CITES certificate that proves they have exported their Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa, UniqueHoodia have also got an Organics Annex Certificate that proves no middle men were involved who could have affected the Hoodia Gordonii and a Certificate of Analysis that confirms that their supplement has been tested under HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography) and is real Hoodia Gordonii. Then there is their laboratory testing by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and CNL.

Both reputable laboratories, they have tested UniqueHoodia’s supplement and have found it to contain 100% Hoodia Gordonii. So whilst there may be many Hoodia companies out there that can prove they are selling 100% Hoodia Gordonii, by the time it reaches you it could be a year old and no longer fresh.

But at UniqueHoodia you could experience a different story. One where you can experience fresher Hoodia Gordonii, as well as a range of other natural health benefits:
• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• Calorie reductions of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times more productive at reducing your appetite than glucose.

So, offer your body fresh, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii.

Weight Loss, Hoodia and Appetite Suppression.

Look on the web and you will find hundreds of appetite suppressants all claiming to do the same thing, but have you ever looked closely into how they work? On the one hand you have got natural appetite suppressants such as Proactol and UniqueHoodia that can help you to cut your meal portions without causing your body harm.

But then you have got others that work by chemically altering your brain signals, and affecting your health as a whole. Take for example Reductil and Phentermine. Proven to help consumers lose a steady weight loss of 1-2lbs a week, alongside these benefits consumers can also expect to experience a range of other effects.

And not all of the positive kind: Palpitations, breathlessness, racing heart, stomach cramps, diarrhoea – and these are only the tame ones. Some of their less common side effects include coronary heart disease AND liver/pancreatic disease, not exactly inspiring.

Well for a start we recommend that you do the research and check out the history of your supplement first, before investing. Take the natural appetite suppressants mentioned above. Alongside their ability to effectively suppress your appetite - Proactol has been proven to reduce your dietary fat intake by 28% and decrease your calories intake by 450 calories a day.

Plus to top it all they are 100% side effect free. What more can you ask for? Offer your body a natural solution to weight loss. Compare all these supplements together and UniqueHoodia can offer you real credible results. Even more so than well renowned herbal supplement Proactol.

And these figures offered by UniqueHoodia are not just a statement either. UniqueHoodia has been tried, tested and has been clinically proven to produce these results – something that not many Hoodia Gordonii supplements can offer.

Diet? Getting More Fibre in Your Diet.

If you read our review of the appetite suppressant Appesat you will know that rather than taking Appesat we recommend UniqueHoodia. There are several reasons for this (see our appesat review for all the reasons) but one big reason is that essentially all Appesat does is give you a boost of fibre in your diet.

Fibre is a natural appetite suppressant which is why you will often see high-fibre cereals advertising that they can keep you full until lunch. It goes without saying that an increase in your fibre intake can be achieved with a few simple (and much cheaper than Appesat) changes in your diet.

Making a change to your diet can, at first, seem like a tough thing to do. However, a few small changes over time and you will soon have increased your fibre intake and start feeling the benefits of appetite suppression. Before we provide you with some suggestions on how to incorporate more fibre in to your diet let’s first look at what fibre is and what its health benefits are.

Fibre is made up of several complex carbohydrates and can either be soluble or insoluble. Unlike most other foods we consume, fibre contains no calories, vitamins or minerals and therefore passes through your body without being digested. This is also why people suffering from constipation are encouraged to eat more fibre (or roughage as it is also known). If you are thinking you can gain fibre from eating meat then you are sadly mistaken. Fibre only exists in the cell walls of plants, therefore things like fruit, vegetables, and grain are all commonly high in fibre.

In addition to the appetite suppression and therefore weight loss benefits, fibre also offers other health benefits. It is known to help reduce the risks of bowel problems such as haemorrhoids and cancer of the bowel and colon. It also helps to stabilise blood sugar levels and reduce blood cholesterol levels. As you can see, the benefits of a high-fibre diet stretch much further than just helping you to control your appetite and lose weight. Therefore even if you are happy with your current weight a little more fibre in your diet can only be a good thing. With this in mind here are some simple meal ideas to help you begin to increase your daily fibre intake:

Breakfast:
Wholemeal toast
Wheat or grain based cereal
Bran muffins
Porridge oats
Pure fruit smoothie

Lunch:
Sandwiches made with wholemeal bread
Any vegetable soup with wholemeal bread
Beans on wholemeal toast
Wholegrain pasta salad
Nuts and seeds
Fruit Salad

Dinner:
Wholegrain pasta or rice with a sauce of your choice
Vegetable stir fry
Bean or vegetable Enchiladas (use wholemeal tortillas)
Vegetable chilli with kidney beans

By now you can probably see how easy it is to get more fibre in your diet and why we advise against spending money on Appesat. If you want to suppress your appetite then there is no better option than taking UniqueHoodia. Of course you can combine UniqueHoodia with a change to a high-fibre diet if you wish but it is not essential to help you lose weight.

Hoodia Gordonii how to find the genuine one?

Well. Search the web using just the term ‘hoodia’ and you’ll soon be bombarded by an assortment of companies all claiming to offer you the ‘genuine’ article. Now to the average surfer this is just the news they have been looking for: easy access to a range of Hoodia products readily available to buy. But here is the thing: 80% of the Hoodia products you are browsing through are fake.

Yes that’s right, all 8 out of 10 of them. And these unfortunately are just the ones that were willingly sent to Alkemist pharmaceuticals for testing. In truth there are probably hundreds more out there that too are not the real deal. So why are so many of them considered to be fake? Doesn’t the ingredient list say it contains real Hoodia? In most cases this is true, but there is more to this story than just reading the ingredients list.

Let us explain.

Point one: Which Hoodia plant has been used? If you spot a Hoodia product that doesn’t identify what type of Hoodia plant it is, then more than likely you are looking at a supplement that contains the wrong type of Hoodia. You see there are 13 types of Hoodia plant , but of them all only the Hoodia Gordonii plant contains the active ingredient P57 that can effectively suppress your appetite.

Point two: What part of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has been used? Now to those who don’t know much about how Hoodia Gordonii works, then here is a quick lesson. Of the Hoodia Gordonii plant itself, only its aerial stem (the core) of the plant contains the active molecule P57. The rest of the plant – its leaves, flowers and roots, essentially offer nothing in terms of weight loss. So, even if a company is claiming to be using 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii, this might not be strictly true if they are using the whole of the plant to make the supplement. If they are, you are probably only getting 60% of the plants active ingredient.

Point three: Are there any other ingredients? This is where it gets complicated. Why? Because companies can claim to be using 100% Hoodia Gordonii on their label, whilst still not giving you a pure supplement. As an endangered species with limited exportations and harvests, many companies have chosen to incorporate other ingredients such as caffeine to save on costs and supplies.

The problem here is that they are reducing your chances of achieving real weight loss, by reducing the effectiveness of the supplement. But by law they are not actually doing anything wrong by claiming to contain pure Hoodia Gordonii. So what does this mean? Well you need to make sure you check its ingredient list thoroughly before investing. The only ingredients you should be seeing on your packaging is the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, and the ingredients used to make up its capsules: gelatib. Spot anything else on the ingredients list and you are not getting 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii.

Point four: Is it an extract? No company who is honestly selling genuine Hoodia Gordonii is selling it as an extract. Why? Because all ‘extract’ exactly means is that you are receiving only 60% of the plants core. The rest is a combination of fillers, caffeine or other inactive parts of the Hoodia Gordonii plant that will do nothing to suppress your appetite.

See what we mean? There is a reason why so many Hoodia supplements fail these tests – they have scrimped on much as they can in order to cut down on their costs. But the problem is, many of them are able to get away with it because they do contain small quantities of the plant. With this at their side, they are able to keep on lying to you whilst still charging you big.

So what do you do? Well the answer to this one is to keep these four points in mind, and make sure that your thoroughly check your chosen products ingredients list before you invest. Do that and you can ensure you are always receiving the genuine article, each and every time. One such product is UniqueHoodia. Clinically tested and backed by Alkemist pharmaceuticals, in one neat compact package, consumers can benefit from:

• Using 100% pure unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the productivity of glucose at suppressing your appetite
• Increased energy and self esteem.

With results like these it is no wonder that it is so popular. And, it works.

Have they heard the story right? Fox News 59’s take on new weight loss supplement Hoodia Gordonii

If you take a look at Fox News 59’s report on the increasing number of fake Hoodia Gordonii supplements on the market, we think you’ll agree with us when we say whilst they are accurate in their assumptions, their story is still vague. On the one hand, they make the incredibly valid point of: how are we to tell if we are receiving genuine Hoodia Gordonii when the company who owns the patent for it has not even released their own product. It is a point that paints a very different picture of the Hoodia market. Yet despite their accuracy, their general vagueness on how to look out for real products is not enough to give consumers a real helping hand.

Let us explain.

In overview of Fox News 59 report, they highlighted 3 key features to look for: country of origin (if its not from South Africa it is not genuine), 100% Hoodia Gordonii and price. And admittedly their overview of these 3 points was helpful, but to ensure that you are receiving real genuine, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii, there are other points that you really need to look out for:

CITES Certificate: this documentation will give you proof of where your Hoodia Gordonii supplement has been exported from. If it says it was exported from South Africa then it is more than likely real Hoodia Gordonii.

Ingredients: now whilst Fox News 59 was right that your supplement should only contain 100% Hoodia Gordonii. There is more to this story than seeing these 3 simple words. It is also important that you check that only the core of the plant has been used, as it is here where active ingredient P57 is found.

Medical Backing: one sure way to make sure you are receiving genuine Hoodia Gordonii is the check where it was laboratory tested. If it was done by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, and their website has got the documentation to prove it, then they are the real deal.

Price: real Hoodia Gordonii is rare. In fact it is considered to be an endangered species which is why it is so hard to export. And the cost to export this rare plant is expensive. So as you can see, if it costs a lot to export, manufacturers are not going to sell it to you cheaply. They want to make a profit from their product.

So what are you to take from the Fox News 59 Report? Well it’s most important point – that the weight loss supplement market is becoming flooded with Hoodia products that are all claiming to be the real deal but that can provide no proof that they are. Take their other point about dietary supplements. Unregulated or quality controlled, companies who claim to be dietary supplements can essentially sell you anything. And we mean anything.

This is why it is so important to know what to look out for in order to increase your chances of receiving genuine, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii. Know what to look out for and you can begin experiencing natural healthy weight loss in no time. Take appetite suppressant product UniqueHoodia. Medically backed by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals and CGMP, they have the CITES certificate, testing and documentation to prove they are the real deal:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii
• Calorie reductions of 2,000 calories a day
• 10,000 times more productive at reducing your appetite than glucose

*Dear Readers, PLEASE NOTE: Consumers should be careful to follow a healthy and nutritious diet whilst taking this supplement, and should not go without eating.

"Hoodia vs., the BBC, their take on the miracle supplement 6 years on".

The BBC may have traveled deep into the Kalahari Desert over 6 years ago in order to get a 1-on-1 experience of Hoodia Gordonii, but the strength of their report is still being felt today. With the obesity levels reaching epidemic proportion, BBC news reporter Tom Mangold took on the challenge of unravelling the truth behind this appetite suppressant and the results they produced worked to bring greater confidence in this unique supplement. Breaking it down into its fundamentals, it cannot be denied that the BBC has probably provided one of the best overviews to date, of this supplement within the media.

From their description on how it works to make the hypothalamus believe the body is full, to their own experimentation with this supplement, their report may have been one of the earliest of its kind, but the content consumers can gather from this one report is incredible. Within this report readers can discover:

• That Hoodia Gordonii is rare and originates from the Kalahari Desert
• The process of P57’s discover by Phytopharm
• How Hoodia Gordonii works – 10,000 times more powerful than glucose, Hoodia makes the nerve cells in the brain believe you are full when you are not.
• The Clinical trials that had so far been conducted on the supplement (at that time)
• How Hoodia can reduce your calorie intake by 1,000 calories a day
• How Hoodia Gordonii is side effect free.

The BBC even went a step further by trying the Hoodia Gordonii plant themselves. Now whilst the strength of their facts are accurate, they also clearly display what is missing with their ending statement: the growing number of fake Hoodia Gordonii supplements on the web. And this was 6 years ago! The market you see before you today is even worse.

You see, their report was written at a time when Hoodia Gordonii was new and fresh to the market. When it was still in clinical trials. With this information hanging over the heads of manufacturer’s, it was harder for fake Hoodia supplements to sold. But today is a much different story. The clinical trials are all done… meaning unless consumers have got all the right tools to enable them to find real Hoodia Gordonii, then the likelihood that they may invest in a fake product is incredible.

Proof of the severity of this subject can be seen in the fact that leading laboratory testers Alkemist Pharmaceuticals discovered - of the hundreds they tested – that 80% of Hoodia products were either the wrong type of Hoodia (only the Hoodia Gordonii plant contains the active molecule P57) or were not 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii. So what are you to do? Research.

Dear Readers, you see there are other more effective ways of checking your Hoodia Gordonii supplement to see whether it is real or not:
Medical Backing: Has it been tested by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals? Check the products certificates to see who tested it. A study is not enough. It needs to be an independent company.
CITES Certificate: What is its country of origin? Only South Africa grow and export genuine Hoodia Gordonii. Hoodia Gordonii grown in another country will be less effective.

Price: Due overharvesting Hoodia Gordonii is rare, making it expensive to export. For this reason check the products price. If it is cheap, it is cheap for a reason. It is not real.
Ingredients: for genuine Hoodia Gordonii, only the core of the plant must be used. Besides its gelatin capsules, there should be no other ingredients on the ingredients list.

Experience Genuine Hoodia Gordonii

Laboratory tested, and medically backed by numerous companies across the media UniqueHoodia can offer you the proof and the documentation, to back the credibility of their appetite suppressant capsule. In one compact package, consumers can experience the benefits of:
• 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii

Hoodia extracts – the controversy (v1).

Search for the term ‘Hoodia Gordonii’ on the web and you will find endless websites telling you to try their unique Hoodia extract. But here is where their first mistake comes in. Genuine 100% Hoodia Gordonii does not come in an extract form. No, not at all. All an extract actually means is that part – and we mean any part – of the Hoodia Gordonii plant has been used to make this supplement. And we don’t just mean random parts of the plant itself.

It is surprising how many inventive ways companies have come up with in order to make their 400mg look authentic. Don’t believe us? Take a look at the following list, it is incredible: leaves… flowers… one of the 13 other Hoodia plants… even caffeine. They have done anything and everything to cut down on the costs, and earn themselves more money. And the person, who ends up losing out in this scenario, is you and only you.

So what can you do to escape the hoodia extract controversy? Learn the basics of what to expect when you are looking to invest in a Hoodia Gordonii product. Take for example the capsules ingredient list. The only other ingredients you should ever find on the packaging of a Hoodia product is the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, gelatine, magnesium stearate and stearic acid.

Now before you jump the gun, and say that these 3 extra ingredients must make it not 100% pure, there is something you need to know. That is not strictly true. You see the ingredients we have just mentioned above form part of the capsule that contains the powdered form of the Hoodia plant. They are okay.

But if you find any other extra ingredients on the label or spot a quote that says it is an extract of the plant, then stop. All this information is actually telling you is that the capsule only contains 60% of the genuine Hoodia core. The rest are just fillers that will offer nothing beneficial to your weight loss journey. And according to research conducted by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, over 80% of the Hoodia Gordonii capsules they tested, were found to be not 100% pure Hoodia Gordonii nor authentic.

And this figure is based on the number of products that were willingly sent to them to be tested. There are in fact hundreds of other Hoodia Gordonii products that have not been tested; that have not been proven to be the genuine article.
Saying this there are products out there that have got the backing, the clinical testing and the CITES certificate to prove that they are the real deal. UniqueHoodia being one of them.

Within one capsule users can find 460mg of pure, unaltered Hoodia Gordonii. No added fillers or ingredients, just the powdered form of the plants core. And this is 60mg more than the average Hoodia product will offer too. In one compact package, customers can experience the satisfaction of knowing that they are receiving:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia – not the extract form, but powdered capsules
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the strength of appetite suppression, compared to glucose

Dear Readers, can genuine Hoodia Gordonii come in an extract form? The simple answer to this question is no, no they can’t. And the reason for this is simple too.

You see, when companies wield the term ‘Hoodia extract’, all they are actually offering you is a sample of the product they are claiming to sell. In most cases just 60%. The other 40% on the other hand can be anything from the leaves or flower of the Hoodia Gordonii plant; parts from other Hoodia plants (there are in fact 13 types of Hoodia plant, but only Hoodia Gordonii can offer users appetite suppression) and even caffeine.

So whilst said companies may claim to sell you genuine 100% Hoodia Gordonii extract, you would be lucky to actually get 60% of the real plant. The core where the active ingredient P57 is found. It is incredible what lengths companies will go to to cut corners in the production of this weight loss capsule. So check the label carefully before you consider investing.

Apart from the core of the Hoodia Gordonii plant, the only other ingredient you should ever find on the packaging is gelatib for its capsule. Now we can see that you’re confused. You’re thinking - didn’t we just tell you that there should only be one ingredient in the capsule? Well this is not strictly true. Take the ones we have listed above. They are actually the ingredients used to build up the capsule itself.

They are okay to be there, as they do not affect the authenticity of the Hoodia Gordonii plant or its purity levels. Their only job is to make sure the powdered form of the plants core is more accessible for you to use. Find anything else on the ingredient list or spot a quote that includes the phrase ‘extract’, and put it straight back. Don’t even look at it. All this information is actually telling you is that the product is not authentic and contains only 60% of real Hoodia Gordonii. But the news surrounding this controversy gets worse.

According to research performed by Alkemist Pharmaceuticals, they found that over 80% of Hoodia Gordonii capsules are not authentic. Now this not to say, that there are not genuine Hoodia Gordonii capsules out there who have got the backing, the clinical testing and the CITES certificate to prove their worth. It is just a question of looking around and making sure you check the ingredients label before you invest.

One example of a genuine hoodia product is UniqueHoodia. In one compact package, customers can experience the satisfaction of knowing that they are receiving:

• 100% pure, unaltered Hoodia – not the extract form, but powdered capsules
• A 2,000 calorie reduction every day
• 10,000 times the strength of appetite suppression, compared to glucose.

We have all been there, you turn up to work full of good intentions for the day. You promise yourself you will not give in to temptation and not a single sugary treat will pass through your lips. Snacking at work is not even an option today. It’s all going well so far you think to yourself, however, no sooner does that thought enter your head, your stomach rumbles. You feel the hunger and assume it’s nearly lunch time. Then you check the time and its only 10:30am – the mid-morning munchies have arrived!!

You can last until lunch you tell yourself but your stomach has other ideas. You try and think of something else but the only thing your mind is thinking about is chocolate and cakes. You cannot last any longer and rush to the vending machine – not a single healthy snack is on show. You give in and tell yourself tomorrow will be different, tomorrow you will avoid snacking at work. We have all been there; snacking at work is a big problem day in, day out for the vast majority of us. The average person spends $45 on snacks every month. However, it doesn’t have to be like this.

There are ways you can stop snacking at work. The office does not need to be the place you surrender all willpower. Here are my top 5 tips to help you cut out those sweet treats at your desk:
1. Remain Calm
Stress is one of the biggest reasons why snacking at work is so hard to control. If you can stay relaxed by planning your workload efficiently then it will be easier to say no to those unhealthy snacks.

2. Stock up on Fruit
Keeping a supply of fruit on your desk will give you an alternative option to chocolate, cakes and potato chips. Better still, you won’t even have to leave your desk to get them!

3. Don’t Carry Loose Change
This is particularly useful if you have a vending machine at work. No spare change in your pocket means you cannot use the vending machine and no matter how much you want that chocolate bar you cannot have it.

4. Keep Yourself Busy
No doubt you often snack because you are bored. If you can keep yourself busy then you will not even think about snacking. Always ensure you have tasks to do to keep your mind off sweet treats.

5. Invest in an Appetite Suppressant
This is one of the tricks I swear by. Appetite suppressants are small pills you take each day which gives signals to the brain that you are full and do not require more food. They are perfectly safe and help you to get your willpower back and control those snacking at work cravings.

By far the best appetite suppressant I have used is a product called UniqueHoodia. They use only the purest Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa which has been clinically proven to suppress your appetite. Results have also shown that UniqueHoodia can help cut your calorie intake by as much as 2,000 calories a day meaning weight loss is much faster and easier than by dieting alone. If you want to cut out snacking at work then look no further – UniqueHoodia is your key to controlling those cravings.

Heidi Lambeth – I Dropped Six Dress Sizes with Zotrim
A busy mum of two, Heidi gained weight gradually over a number of years due to large portion sizes and habitual snacking. To her horror, she soon found herself weighing 16st 4lb – massively overweight for her 5’ 8” frame.

Becoming increasingly fed up of derogatory comments and of feeling hot, sweaty and tired, Heidi was keen to find a solution that worked for her.

Knowing that she ate a generally healthy diet, just too much of it, Heidi wasn’t keen on going on a conventional diet. A friend suggested she try Zotrim, a herbal supplement that contains three South American herbs – Guarana, Yerba Mate and Damiana.

Zotrim was the perfect solution for Heidi as it works by increasing the feelings of fullness, meaning you feel fuller quicker and for longer, reducing portion sizes and the desire to snack between meals.

Heidi was able to carry on eating her favourite meals, but reduced the amount she ate and stopped snacking on the children’s leftovers and other ‘treats’. Heidi soon found she was dropping a dress size every couple of weeks, and soon reached her ideal weight of 11st 5lb.

Just as importantly, Heidi has passed on her good food habits to her whole family. Her husband has also lost weight due to decreased portion sizes and snacking and the family is much healthier in general.
