Hoodia Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Choosing the best hoodia product

If you have researched Hoodia products on the internet, you have no doubt been confused by all the conflicting information on Hoodia. The purpose of this article is to present an honest opinion to the consumer on what makes a quality Hoodia nutritional supplement.

Should I take Hoodia extract or Hoodia powder capsules?

Every reputable manufacturer of herbal and nutritional supplements knows that powder forms of herbs are the cheapest, and the least effective form of ingredients. Some websites selling hoodia powder products claim that hoodia extracts contain no hoodia. While it is possible that some products being sold as hoodia extract are not what they are labeled, this certainly is not the case for Hoodia-GL. Our product has been tested and contains very high levels of P57, which is the active ingredient believed to be responsible for Hoodia's weight control benefits. The reason that most Hoodia products contain powder rather than extract is because companies are trying to maximize their profit by producing the the cheapest product that they can. Rather than offering our customers cheap, ineffective products, we instead choose the best quality ingredients that we can find. Our loyal customers depend on us to provide the highest quality products at affordable prices. While our Hoodia may not the cheapest you will find, you can be sure that it is very high quality and much more effective than the powder forms of hoodia.

How much Hoodia is necessary?

We recommend taking 1-3 capsules per day of Hoodia-GL. Because our product is in an 20:1 extract, this is the equivalent of 5000 mg of our competing hoodia powder products. It would take thirteen 400mg capsules to equal the potency of one capsule of Hoodia-GL Pregnant and nursing women should avoid taking Hoodia-GL.

What about the sites that pretend to rate various Hoodia products?

There are number of websites that are trying to mislead consumers into thinking they are independent firms ranking different hoodia products. Contrary to what they would have you believe, these websites have an agenda to sell a particular product. Because they have no science or common sense to back up their product, they are resorting to lying to the consumers in order to peddle their inferior brands. We urge you to be careful about doing business with these companies and the brands they are promoting.

Is fake Hoodia being sold?

There is much speculation that a lot of the Hoodia being sold in this country is fake. It is entirely possible. Without independent testing it is difficult for the consumer to verify one way or the other. When you buy Vitabase Hoodia-GL you be sure that you are getting Hoodia Gordonii from South Africa. Each batch of raw ingredients have been tested and certified to be genuine.
