Weight Loss Aids -- special savings through January 10, 2009

Leantain (CITES certified Hoodia)

 

The Truth About Hoodia

Hoodia has quickly gained popularity as a weight loss aid since it came into the U.S. supplement market in 2004.  Studies show that hoodia gordonii boosts metabolism and provides safe appetite control to help lose weight without side effects.  It can also lower blood pressure and cholesterol levels.

Because hoodia gordonii is protected under CITES (convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora), quality hoodia products should be certified by CITES, guaranteeing that it is cultivated and not wild-picked. 

There are numerous inferior products that contain a wide variety of fillers, or contain hoodia species, other than hoodia gordonii, that have no appetite suppressing actions.  These products are marketed as if they are pure hoodia. 

Because of this rash of inferior products, consumers should be cautious when choosing hoodia products.  Many online products and products made in other countries, especially China, are problematic because differing labeling practices and regulations make it hard to know what is actually in the product.

There is a superior hoodia product that I am very happy to recommend .

The hoodia in Leantain, manufactured by Health Concerns, a professional herb company,  comes from one of only three suppliers approved for export from southern Africa, and is CITES-CERTIFIED.  Health Concerns also has its hoodia certified as to genus and species by an independent lab, and once it gets to the U.S., Health Concerns thoroughly tests the hoodia for pesticides, heavy metals, and other toxins.  Health Concerns also verifies that the local San people are being employed in and benefiting from the production of the hoodia product used in Leantain.
