Rules and Legislation Required for Hoodia
By Vic Carrara

The requirements of the myriad of Hoodia products, all the new novel foodstuffs that incorporate it, and especially the Hoodia chewing gums, are slightly different to those of simple tablets or capsules.

Hopefully, when you buy Hoodia, you are already checking for these:

- Is it genuine Hoodia Gordonii from Southern Africa?

- Has it been independently tested?

- Has it been legally exported?

- Has it been correctly processed?

The concern is that people are falling for Hoodia hype, and forgetting to make some simple checks to guarantee getting the real thing. These are true for any product, especially the more novel ones like the chewing gums.

The anecdotal and scientific research to date indicate that Hoodia does cut appetite. But only if you get the genuine article, correctly processed. With so many fake comparison sites, fake articles, fake testimonials, what steps can you take to ensure you get an effective product.
