It is said that 80 percent of the hoodia brands out in the market are counterfeit.

That is why it is very important to understand how these counterfeit products are made by fraudulent companies to avoid getting ripped off and to insure that you have chosen a 100 percent pure and high grade liquid hoodia product that is both effective and safe for you to use.
Product origin and variety
There are at least 20 kinds of hoodia varieties that exist today and only the hoodia plant that grows in the South African Kalahari Desert which is the hoodia gordonii has the P57 molecules that suppress the appetite. Hoodia Gordonii is a wild succulent plant that takes 5-7 years to mature. There is high demand for this plant and they are now endangered. As a result it is very expensive. To save costs and increase profits fraudulent companies developed these manufacturing strategies: make liquid hoodia out from other hoodia varieties or they use seeds from authentic hoodia gordonii and grow it in India, Mexico, China and other parts of the United States. So to avoid getting scammed always check the label of the liquid hoodia that you want to try. Make sure that it is made from hoodia gordonii and not from other hoodia varieties and also check if the hoodia gordonii that they used was from South Africas Kalahari Dessert. If it says from China, India, Mexico and some other parts in the U.S or you read these words on the label, Made from South African Kalahari Seeds of Hoodia Gordonii dont buy it because it is counterfeit. It will not suppress your appetite and you will only be wasting your money and break your heart.
Plant part used
Another strategy used by fraudulent manufacturers is they use pure South Kalahari hoodia gordonii but to cut costs they included the useless parts of the plant. So what you get will be an extract from low quality hoodia powder. The active component of the hoodia is only found in its core. To make high grade hoodia powder the plants skin is peeled and the roots and spines are taken off then it will be turned to powder. Low grade hoodia powder is made using all parts of the plant. So when you buy liquid hoodia check if it was made from concentrated core hoodia powder if not then it will not be effective or it has low potency.
Other ingredients
Some fast foods would use meat extenders such as floor or potatoes in their burger patties to save costs and increase profits. Somehow some liquid hoodia manufacturers pick-up this marketing strategy and also applied it in their business. They use small amount of hoodia and use other herbal plants as extenders or alternatives. Their product can suppress the appetite but it is not the result from hoodia but it was from the other ingredients incorporated in the liquid extract. Liquid hoodia diet supplement has no side effects because it is free from caffeine, stimulants and fillers. So always check for other ingredients when you read the labels. All you need is to suppress your appetite therefore, what you need to see at the back label of your liquid hoodia bottle are the words hoodia gordonii, water or alcohol (used as extracts) and nothing more.
