Two
Certificates are Required
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' authenticity.
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.
The
Limited Supply is a Real Concern
Because
of the scarcity of the true Hoodia Gordonii supply, we
urge you to order right away. We do have a
sufficient supply at this time, but we cannot guarantee
for how long. The South African government could change
its mind at any time, the crop could fail, or it could
become prohibitively expensive.
