Frequently Asked Questions about Hoodia Extract
What is Hoodia (Hoodia gordonii)?
Hoodia is a spiny succulent plant native to the Kalahari desert of Southern Africa, botanically Hoodia gordonii. It belongs to the dogbane family (Apocynaceae) and, despite often being called a "cactus," it is not a true cactus at all - it is a succulent. The part used here is the plant itself, the fleshy aerial stems. Hoodia has long been known to the San, the indigenous peoples of Southern Africa. Our raw material is authentic, wild-harvested Hoodia gordonii; this matters, because a great deal of material sold as hoodia in the marketplace is adulterated or is not genuine H. gordonii at all. Our extract is offered in two forms - a traditional alcohol-based tincture and an alcohol-free glycerite - each from ethically sourced raw material. This is a whole-plant liquid extract that carries the plant's natural spectrum of constituents, not an isolated or standardized single-compound product, and we label it clearly by botanical name and plant part.
What is the difference between the tincture and alcohol-free versions?
Both are liquid extracts of the same Hoodia gordonii plant; only the solvent differs. The tincture uses alcohol as the traditional solvent, with vegetable glycerin and water. The alcohol-free version is a glycerite made with vegetable glycerin and purified water, suited to those who avoid alcohol. Both deliver the plant's constituents in a convenient liquid you take by the drop. Choose the tincture for a classic alcohol-extracted format with a longer shelf life; choose the glycerite if you prefer no alcohol.
Is hoodia a cactus, and how do I know it is authentic?
Two good questions. First, the plant type: hoodia is very often called a cactus - you will even see the name "hoodia cactus" - but it is not a cactus. It is a succulent in the dogbane family (Apocynaceae); it simply has a spiny, cactus-like appearance because it evolved in a hot, dry desert. Second, authenticity: genuine Hoodia gordonii is a protected plant, listed under CITES (the international convention on trade in endangered species), and because it became popular, a large amount of the material sold as hoodia is fake, substituted, or adulterated. We use authentic, correctly identified, wild-harvested Hoodia gordonii from Southern Africa. We label our product clearly by botanical name (Hoodia gordonii) and plant part (plant) so you know exactly what you are getting.
How do I use Hoodia liquid extract?
Shake well before use. Use the number of drops and the frequency shown on the label, in a little water, tea or juice, or as directed by your practitioner. See the safety note below. Drink the entire contents.
Is Hoodia extract right for everyone? Important safety information.
Hoodia is not right for everyone. It may increase heart rate and blood pressure in some people, so use caution and talk with your practitioner before use if you have a heart condition, high blood pressure, or take medication for your heart or blood pressure. It may also affect blood sugar, so use caution if you have diabetes or take blood-sugar medication. Do not use during pregnancy or while nursing. It is best not used for prolonged periods. If you take any medication or have a medical condition, also consult a qualified healthcare practitioner before use. Keep out of reach of children, and do not exceed the suggested serving. Store this tincture in a cool, dark place. These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration. This product is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
