Hoodia Gordonii Is Purchased From Stella Labs A Wholesale Supplier Of Bulk Ingredients For Nutritional And Dietary Supplements.

By Monica Bryant


Recently one appetite suppressant which uses hoodia gordonii supplied to them by Stella labs (not hoodia 750) has become the target of a potential class action suit. Someone said, "We live in a litigious society." No product is safe from the threat of a law suit. If a product does not work in the way that it is advertised to do, not to worry, take them to court. But, it is not my job to comment on society, I just write about and compare health supplements.

The San tribe of the Kalahari have long understood the properties of Hoodia Gordonii where the internal stem is chewed to fend off hunger during their prolonged hunting trips. The active ingredient in Hoodia Gordonii is a molecule known as P57 was patented in 1996 and became the focus of study by the South African CSIR. (Council for Scientific and Industrial Affairs).

P57 tricks the brain into believing that our glucose, (blood sugar), levels are high indicating that we must be full. The giant pharmaceutical corporation Pfizer worked together with a UK company, PhytoPharm, to try and produce an appetite suppressing compound from the active ingredients in Hoodia Gordonii. Research was stopped during 2002 due to difficulties in removing chemicals found in P57 that are harmful to our liver. For this reason the drug would not be approved by the US FDA.

However, along with its growing popularity is the fact that such product is expensive and difficult to find, particularly as it takes five to seven years to develop. This is what pushed others to manufacture and sell fake diluted Hoodia Gordonii products just to meet its many avid consumers' needs. Recently, many online websites have announced that there has been a spread of 50% percent of weight loss products that claim they have Hoodia when, in fact, they have the fake, diluted versions. Because of the fear that these fake products would deliver dangerous side effects and discredit the authentic Hoodia Gordonii product, Prime Life Nutriceuticals, the original maker of Hoodia Gordonii weight loss pills, have declared a certification program where consumers can test if the Hoodia Gordoni they have purchased is real.

One of the preeminent herbal testing facilities in the U.S., the Alchemist Pharmaceuticals, was contacted in order to help verify the presence of real Hoodia. Analysis showed that there are several ways to detect a fake Hoodia Gordonii.

Hoodia XR accepts returns of one opened bottle per person, but individuals must call for a return authorization number which must be displayed on the outside of the box. Customers should remember that thirty days is from the date of order, not the date of receipt.

Another way to verify is by checking if the product has the banner C.I.T.E.S or a certification proving that it truly came from South Africa. Such certificate also testifies that that Hoodia material has been processed from its growth in South Africa. The certificate should be clear and readable, otherwise, it will only prove a counterfeit.

Hoodia market is divided into two camps. The first camp consists of people who are honest, have integrity and make a genuine effort to purchase authentic hoodia gordonii and provide the real thing to their customers through their nutritional supplements. There are only few weight loss pills that were made by honest companies.
