Beware of Buying "Inexpensive Hoodia Gordonii" Products

Due to an increased market demand for genuine Hoodia and a temporary short supply of the already rare and difficult to grow plant, pure Hoodia is expensive. The Desert Burn brand of Hoodia (which I am taking and recommending because it is pure Hoodia and is working well for me) is expensive; one bottle of 60 (750 mg.) capsules sells for $59.95 per bottle, or 3 bottles for $149.95 (plus shipping and handling).

As I discussed in a previous article, I have only been able to identify 4 companies that I feel are selling pure Hoodia Gordonii, based on the criteria that I have researched for determining its authenticity. You may want to review some of my previous posts if you have any questions about that at this time. When comparing prices at these 4 sites, I took into consideration that the Desert Burn ZA is a 750 mg. capsule, not a 400 mg. capsule. Most manufacturer's only sell a 400 mg. capsule. In order to get the full appetite suppressing effects of this supplement, you will need around 3000 mg. of Hoodia per day, so consider the number of capsules you will need to take per day when deciding on which brand is the best buy. You may get the 400 mg. capsules cheaper than the 750 mg. capsules, but you will need to take more per day, which will ultimately end up costing you more money.

If a company is advertising pure Hoodia for less than $40 per bottle of 60 (400 mg.) capsules, you can be sure that it is not pure Hoodia; it is diluted with other ingredients or bulk fillers and contains little or no pure Hoodia from South Africa. Based on the current cost of Hoodia, there is no way that any company could afford to "give away" the product.

If you are tempted to believe the false advertisements and testimonials and try a brand that is advertised as "pure hoodia" at a price that is much cheaper than Desert Burn, you should take some time to re-read the posts on this blog and research the product first. Saving money is a great thing, but wasting money is foolish!
