Hoodia as a Diet Pill – Clinical Studies

• In mid 1977, the Phytopharm company started its pre-clinical testing on lab rats and compared it with similar other compounds. The pre-clinical experiments were supervised and conducted by Dr. Richard Dixey. These tests showed promising results and the project proceeded to clinical testing.

• In 1998, Phytopharm developed their anti-obesity Hoodia Gordonii diet formulation and decided to go into phase1 clinical testing. The test results showed that 70% of the trial participants were able to achieve their goals over the trial period. This was the birth of the first Diet Pill with Hoodia as an ingredient

• In October of the same year, Phytopharm worked with mega drug company Pfizer to make Hoodia Gordonii diet pills available to everyone in the United States and worldwide.

• After 2003, much clinical testing and analysis was done to see how well Hoodia Gordonii diet supplements worked. The experiments proved once and for all that a Hoodia Gordonii diet is an effective and safe solution for fighting obesity. For the consumers, it could be procured without a prescription and also over the internet.

Now, diet pills like Phenocal, have arrived at a unique composition that combines Hoodia with Green tea & Glucomannan to deliver safe and effective diet pills for all ages.
