Horphag Research , a privately held company, was founded in Berlin in 1925. Becoming a leading company supplying fortifying nutritional products, Horphag Research can be considered a pioneer of the dietary supplement and health food industry. In the 1960’s, Horphag’s chairman, Charles Haimoff initiated a visionary concept of ‘healthy ageing’. In his Berlin based laboratories, he developed a unique substance; the water-soluble flavonoid extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree – Pycnogenol®.
Today, Pycnogenol® is exclusively supplied worldwide by Horphag. Over the last thirty-five years, the company has invested millions of dollars in extensive scientific research assuring the safety and efficacy of Pycnogenol® as an ingredient. Pycnogenol® is a registered trademark of Horphag Research Ltd and protected by U.S. patents #5,720,956 /#6,372,266 and other international patents.
Horphag Research now leads the world in Pycnogenol® research, with more than 190 published papers on the product and 64 published clinical studies. Comprehensive research and development programs continue to be carried out in partnership with researchers and specialist companies around the world, and new applications for Pycnogenol® are explored every year.
Horphag Research has grown to become a global company, with offices in major markets and representations worldwide. It continues to be proudly science-based, offering the highest quality product fully backed by scientific research.
