Hoodia Products Intl.'s Cultivation Projects in South Africa

Since the founding of our company we have been committed to providing our customers with authentic and real Hoodia. Over the past four years we have encountered many unsavoury manufacturers and problems which have caused the rise of "fake" hoodia products.

Early on we understood that if we were to truly commit to quality that we needed to go to the source. Over the past few years we have been to South Africa on numerous occasions, each time we go we meet with more farmers and continue to grow our network of cultivated Hoodia farmers. With this network of cultivated Hoodia we are able to legally source authentic Hoodia for our products.

On top of that, we take the burden of proof upon ourselves and test each shipment that we receive from our suppliers to ensure Hoodia authenticity. Alkemists Pharmaceuticals*, an independent pharmaceutical testing facility, does all of our Hoodia authenticity tests. Each of our bottles of POWERSLIM are marked with a quality control number that relates to these tests, allowing our customers to view the lab results for their individual bottle of POWERSLIM. This guarantees them that they are getting only real, pure South African Hoodia.

Please see the Hoodia Quality Verification (click here) webpage to view our current shipment and test results and learn about more of our quality control standards.

Here are some pictures of our different cultivations around the Western Cape:
