There is only one place in the world where Authentic Hoodia gordonii is grown for the commercial market and that is the continent of Africa where Hoodia is controlled much like the diamond market. Hoodia gordonii grows and is harvested specifically from the Western Cape in the Kooroo Region. This product is protected and though many people are offering it at a high cost - most of them are fake. Don't get caught up. Read the website. THey also show you photos of the 'real' plant and the fake.

I tried 100% Hoodia and......
Hoodia has worked for me...and with no side effects.
Check with your doctor before starting any weight loss program.

**** VERY IMPORTANT NOT TO GET RIPPED OFF ---
#1. Be sure you are buying pure Hoodia...look for the import certificate on the website. No matter the price, if they do not display this, you really do NOT know what you are getting!
#2. Be sure it is 100% Hoodia & not mixed w/other herbs, etc.!!
#3. Keep in mind it stops your hunger pangs…you MUST remember to break your habit to always eat at certain times.
#4. Drink a full 8oz. glass of water with it!
Hoodia (HOOD-ee-uh) gordonii - A genus of 10 to 20 species from southwestern Africa.
Hoodia gordonii is the stoneage wonder plant found throughout the dry arid regions of the South western African continent now on the verge of making history in the fight against obesity. It is a genus belonging to the Asclepiadaceae family which consists of approximately 20 species. Used to stop hunger, quench thirst, and provide energy among other things since prehistoric times, Hoodia gordonii was first discovered by the San tribesmen and women to get through the most difficult of times.

If you're looking for a good supplement that contains hoodia, I'd suggest Herbalean. It also contains Ephedra, which was unbanned on April 14th this year - so it's legal to buy in the US again!
With the Hoodia and Ephedra formula, I get energy through the whole day, and I don't have any snack or sweet cravings at all. The first week I took it, I had to set the alarm on my cell phone to remind me when to eat.

As a doctor, my opinon is not to use it. Use diet, exercise and willpower instead. that seems to always be the last resort though.
Real Hoodia comes from the calamari desert. You can get "real" Hoodia at a herbal store or the internet, but since no herb is bound by regulatory bodies that vouch for pureness, etc, its really a crap shoot anyway.
