Where to Buy Hoodia

Where to buy hoodia is the big question once you've decided you want to try hoodia gordonii, touted as the weight loss wonder we've all been waiting for.

On this page, we'll give you some general info to keep in mind when it comes to buying tru hoodia -- that is, genuine hoodia. Hopefully what you read on this page will guard you from getting scammed.

OK, first of all, there are many people looking for some free trial hoodia. But you should be very cautious before trying hoodia that's free.

Why? It seems great right? Using it for free first seems like the best bargain possible.

But here's why you need to be concerned: hoodia gordonii is a very rare plant that has a long maturation time (5 to 7 years) before it can be harvested for use. It's protected by International trade laws and licenses to import it for use in supplements is extremely hard to come by.

In short, you've all heard of the law of supply and demand. Well, the demand for hoodia is huge and the supply isn't.

All of this means that tru hoodia -- that is, genuine hoodia -- is usually expensive. Most free trial hoodia is almost certainly not real hoodia gordonii.

Here are two of the tricks some of these unethical companies will try to employ to sucker people in:

• to get the free trial hoodia you have to enroll in a monthly autoship program (this simply means they send you product every month and bill your credit card for it automatically). The first month is free but after that it is really expensive.
  The "scam" part is, at some of these places, when you try to cancel out of the autoship, they ignore your request or pretend like they never received it and keep right on sending you the product and billing you. And chances are, any comapny that would employ this devious tactic isn't even selling you genuine hoodia to boot.
  
  
• Another clever tactic some of these companies use is to claim their products made from pure hoodia. But what a lot of people don't realize is that there are over a dozen kinds of hoodia plant, but only the hoodia gordonii kind contains the naturally occurring appetite reducing ingredient people are looking for. But these companies can legally say "pure hoodia" or some other such nonsense without lying...it's just not hoodia gordonii, and it certainly isn't ethical.

Look, we're not saying you can't buy good quality hoodia gordonii products on the Internet. You can and many people do, but if you're going to shop online, our advice is to only do business with companies that:

• have 1800 telephone numbers listed, and not just email contacts (it's easy to never respond to an email if they are an unscrupulous company)
  
  
• have displayed certified documents on their site to prove that they are using genuine hoodia gordonii from South African. They are the C.I.T.E.S Certificate and the Analytical Report.
  
  
• Also be wary of companies that don't give you any background info on who they are, their company name, how they manufacture the products, etc.

Other than the Internet, you can buy hoodia based products at retail outlets as well. Hoodia GNC is one popular spot.

However, due to the problems of getting genuine hoodia, some respected retailers like Whole Foods Market, have pulled hoodia from some of their locations due to concerns about the quality of some of these products.
