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. It works.

How to Find Honest Diet Pill Reviews Online
Posted by: | Comments
Allen McDaniel asked:
I have a feeling most of you hear are familiar enough with dieting that you don’t buy into all the hype, but I perhaps this information will be valuable to some of you. I’ll start by talking about a current set of events. I’m sure all of you have heard of the “acai berry” diet pills that have been spreading across the internet like wildfire lately. If any of your email addresses happen to have been sold to a diet pill salesman, you’ve probably gotten a few emails trying to promote these acai berry pills.
How did this acai berry craze get started and why is there so much hype? It got it’s big boost when Oprah featured the acai berry on her show as the #1 “superfood”. Some clever yet deceitful marketers thought they could use this to their advantage by selling a diet pill centered around the acai berry and advertise it as being “featured on Oprah” and “endorsed by Dr. Nicholas Perricone”.
The truth is that neither Oprah nor Dr. Perricone ever said anything about the acai berry having any weight loss properties. But that didn’t matter. They knew that it would still sell. But having this fake “endorsement” from Oprah wasn’t enough. They also decided to give away “free” trials of the diet pill to get more people to try it. The problem with that though, is that since it doesn’t really help you lose weight, nobody would order again after their free trial.
How did they get around this?
They got around it by using another deceitful marketing trick. If you read the fine legal print on the page where you sign up for your free trial, you’ll see that by getting a free trial, you are agreeing to sign up for an automatic rebill each month for a resupply of the product, unless you cancel before the free trial period is expired. Not many people read the fine legal print, I know I don’t, so most people didn’t think to call up and end their free trial. Then, when their credit card was billed for the $80 resupply, it was too late to do anything about it. Not only that, but even if you did try to call and cancel your order, you were often met with a busy signal or sent straight to voice mail. It was very hard to get through to an actual person on the phone.
But EVEN THAT wasn’t enough.
To promote the diet pill even MORE, they started an “affiliate program”. They paid “affiliates” (who are basically the same thing as salesman) up to $30 or more for each person who the affiliate got to sign up for a free trial. Anyone can become an affiliate for these acai berry diet pill manufacturers. All you have to do is sign up for the program and then start sending out links to their webpage with your account name attached to the end of the link so they can track it. That way they know, anyone who visits their site from a link that has your account name comes from you, so if they sign up for a free trial, they know to pay you the commission. Usually salesman only get a % of a sale. When you buy a car, the salesman might get 2-3% of the price. But these acai berry manufacturers were paying salesman 600% of the sale price! (free, but $5 shipping) This high of commission is practically unheard of because usually companies can’t make a profit by giving their salesman MORE money than the company is getting paid for the product. BUT, because each customer is automatically signed up for a monthly rebill that very few people cancel from, that’s why the commissions are so high. And these high commissions draw salesman like crazy. There are literally tens of thousands of affiliates (or salesman) trying to sell these acai berry diet pills. And since there is so much anonymity on the internet, these salesman are willing to do anything to get that commission, including lie and deceive. Let me show you a few examples.
You can find sites like these by just guessing. Just type in some girls name followed by “weightloss.com” or “dietblog.com” and you’ll find hundreds of sites like these. They are all made by salesman who found out that these are effective ways of playing on peoples emotions by trying to get people to trust them to get them to sign up for a free trial. Anyway, I think I am beginning to rant. I’m sorry this post is so long, I just feel like I have to let people know the truth. I have an insiders view into this industry and it makes me sick to see what all goes on.
And it doesn’t stop with diet pills either. It happens with every product sold online. Belkin makes internet modems and routers. They were PAYING people to write fake positive reviews about their products on sites like Amazon.com. Really the only way to get honest reviews online is to visit heavily moderated forums and listen to people who have built up a longstanding reputation with the site.
The only way to find honest reviews of diet products is to visit a heavily moderated forum with a close-nit community. Visit Best Diet Pill Reviews.org and submit your own reviews of any diet pill or plan you’ve tried so that we can build a community focused on weeding out spam and advertising and get straight to the facts about dieting and weight loss.
I hope this article has opened your eyes to the tricks employed by online marketers. It’s a sad state of affairs, but when it comes to online product reviews and suggestions, caveat emptor (let the buyer beware) has never rang more true.
