Your Natural Health Place- What You Should Know About Hoodia Gordonii

On November 21, 2004 CBS correspondent, Lesley
Stahl reported on 60 Minutes that a strange little plant,
Hoodia Gordonii, "... is a natural substance that literally
takes your appetite away." According to CBS, "Scientists
say that it fools the brain by making you think you're full,
even if you've eaten just a morsel."

Now, word of this amazing plant is spreading like wildfire
across the country and taking the consumer market by
storm. Many are calling the discovery of Hoodia Gordonii
the breakthrough of the decade.

 If you missed the 60 Minutes program, the program
described Hoodia as a small, succulent plant that grows
only in the remote region of the South African Kalahari
Desert. There, the indigenous San Bushmen have eaten
the plan for centuries, to stave off hunger during their
long and arduous hunting trips.

This small plant looks like a dill pickle with spines on it.
It grows slowly in its harsh environment, and takes four
or five years, or more, before it is ready to harvest.

 When the world heard the news about a humble little
succulent called Hoodia Gordonii being an appetite
suppressant, the stampede was on. People all over
the world wanted some.

Real Hoodia Gordonii is an endangered species plant.
Consequently, it is RARE AND VERY EXPENSIVE. 
In fact, the government of South Africa will not allow 
export of Hoodia without proper documentation. 

They only allow certain amounts to leave the country in
order to protect the plant in its natural habitat.


There are two certified documents required to prove
the authenticity of pure South African Hoodia. The
U.S. Department of Agriculture issues the first. It is
called Convention in International Trade of Endangered
Species (C.I.T.E.S.) Certificate. This covers the U.S.
inspection to ensure the product is clean of weeds and
pests, and to verify that the product is, in fact,
Hoodia Gordonii.

The second is the Protected Plant Permit. This permit is
only issued when the South African government agrees
to allow the product to be shipped out of South Africa
to a few selected buyers.







We can state, with certainty, that the Hoodia Gordonii
used in Hoodia Gordonii Plus is completely certified. Our
Hoodia is documented to be the true plant used by the
San peoples in South Africa. We're proud to display our
Certificates which prove its' authenticit

This documentation is important to you because there are
so many "hoodia" products on the market now, which
are not the 100% pure plant.

There are over 40 species of Hoodia, and the Gordonii
species is the only one shown to have appetite suppression
qualities. The Kalahari Desert of southern Africa is the
only place in the world where this special plant will grow.
It does not grow in the deserts of Mexico, or China, or
the Middle East, or even in New Mexico.

When searching for a Hoodia supplement, make sure the
manufacturer can document the source of the ingredient.
Be wary of products called "hoodia," which are actually
another species of Hoodia that may only have weak or
altered benefits.
