There is much controversy regarding any Hoodia Gordonii plants grown
outside of South Africa as having the same effect as those grown elsewhere. I don't know
about anywhere else but here in San Diego County the Hoodia Gordonii grown is identical to
the ones grown in South Africa as proven by Alkemists
Pharmaceuticals 1260 Logan Ave # B3 Costa Mesa, CA 92626 one of, if not the
leading Alkemists Lab in the United Stated. The cost for the tests was $750.00 and I will
be haveing more tests done on plants at different stages of growth as time and money
permits.
Results from alchemists test on
sample from my HOODIA GORDONII stock which shows that Hoodia Grown outside of South Africa
contains the same appetite suppresant chemicals.
1. Hoodia 1 (HPLC) Conclusion: Chromatogram #2 (test sample) is
consistent with chromatographic fingerprint #1 (voucher specimen of Hoodia gordonii).
Reference analyte P57 can be detected in the test sample.

2. Hoodia 1 (Micro) Comments
& Conclusions: Yellow line = sample origin @ 10mm, red line = solvent front @
60mm. Lanes 6, 7 are the test sample Hoodia (1). Lanes 4, 5 are the authenticated
reference samples used for comparison. This test sample, Hoodia (1), is consistent with
the chromatographic profile of the reference samples of Hoodia gordonii used above &
is characteristic of Hoodia gordonii.

3. Hoodia 1 (TLC) Comments & Conclusions: This sample is
representative of Hoodia gordonii aerial part based on authenticated microscopic
references and the consistent characteristic cellular structure of an aerial part as well
as the references cited above. The characteristic cellular structures identified in this
sample are the fragment of a fiber showing whirled striations seen in micrograph (1) above
& in micrograph (2) we see the large thin walled parenchyma with wrinkled cell walls. This
test sample, Hoodia (1), is consistent with the microscopic characteristics of the
reference samples of Hoodia gordonii used above & is characteristic of Hoodia
gordonii. Analyzed by: Élan M Sudberg Authorized by: Sidney Sudberg, Director,

Hoodia is a small Asclepiad genus of 10 to 20 species, from
southwestern Africa. They form clumps of erect multi angled stems. Extracts of Hoodia has
been used recently to manufacture appetite suppressant medications. The close genus
Trichocaulon is sometimes included in Hoodia. One of the hardiest of the asclepiads, most
Hoodias will take a small amount of frost. The large brownish flowers are pollinated by
flies, and use a very distinct carrion smell to attract them. They form in liberally at
the tip of the stems. Recommended Temperature Zone: USDA: 10-11 Frost Tolerance: Hardy to
28°F ( -2°C) Sun Exposure: Light shade, morning sun Origin: Southwestern Africa Growth
Habits: Succulent, forming clumps of 12 inches tall, 12 inches wide (30 by 30 cm)
Propagation: Seed
