20:1 Hoodia in a dry herb extraction process means:
Taking 20 parts of wet herb - and using " low heat" or " air pressure" (or both) to make it into 1 part of DRY herb.
This is done for two main reasons. One is to have a purer dry product, and the other is that this particular process eliminates a lot of "useless" fiber along with the water, giving you a better dried Hoodia powder.
In conventional drying - you take Hoodia cactus and chop it up root stock and barrel and dry it - then what you get is a product that will also contain "inert" parts of the plant like the roots, thorns, or dry cellulose etc., and possible destruction of A.I. This method is cheaper - but you need to use
"more" to get "less" effect unlike the former process where the reverse is true!
For "20 times" potency - the extraction is standardized - that means you use both chemistry and physics to get a product that is "EQUAL" in efficacy - for 1 or many ingredients it may contain from a given batch. For example, the Hoodia plant can be standardized to and extract to have 99% h57 - and
the price - 10,000 times more than dried Hoodia
The method for any standard extraction for increasing potency to any ratio - as in a 20:1 involves the following:
- Get the complete dry product - then "CONCENTRATE" it. This means that you add 20 times product weight to 1/20th part of solvent.
- Dissolve solid in solvent so physics forces make fine dry powdered hoodia.
- Then use heat and pressure to
dissolve it into a solvent.
Finally evaporate the solvent
- till you get 20 times dry product into 1 part
wet solvent
Regarding a competitors 1000mg
Hoodia / capsule - some more math:
- 1000 mg = 1 gm
- If you have 100 caps in a
bottle = 100gms.
- Current wholesale cost of
Hoodia powder in the market in South America
for 250KG is $195/KG
- This equals 1 gm = 0.20
cents. Hoodia in 100 capsules = US$20.00 at
wholesale cost
Remember this is price
point is for pure raw material in South
Africa WITHOUT freight of raw material to
the USA cost of encapsulation cost of
packaging cost of marketing.
Add the ABOVE and you wind up with Hoodia on
your manufacturing table at no less than
US$35.00/100 capsules.
So, if a competitor is
advertising that they can sell 1000mg /
capsule in a bottle and sell it retail for
anything less than $70.00, it is not true
Hoodia, or it has unwanted and unnecessary
fillers.
