Plandai’s Upcoming Weight Loss Study Primed to Outperform Competing Trials

Servicios Financieros

Internacional (Marketwired, 05 de Agosto de 2013) Goldman Small Cap Research, a stock market research firm focused on the small cap and microcap sectors, notes in a just published article that with a product that likely has the highest nutrient absorption rate into the bloodstream (bioavailability) in the industry, Plandai Biotechnology, Inc. (OTCQB: PLPL) appears to have a leg up on the competition in a competitive product category worth hundreds of millions in annual sales. Later this year, Plandai plans to test the effects of Phytofare™ Catechin Complex in inducing weight loss, while also improving cholesterol and lowering blood pressure. The human clinical trial will involve 90 subjects, including a placebo group, over three months and will include full blood panels in addition to measuring overall weight loss and changes in fat percentages and mood. Phytofare™ should be able to demonstrate significant health benefits, including weight loss, owing to its higher absorption levels.

In a recent meta-analysis of weight loss studies, on average, green tea extract was causative for body weight loss (at least 12 weeks in length) with more weight loss occurring in those that did not habitually consume caffeine. In addition, a 2009 study reported in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, noted that men who consumed roughly 660mg worth of catechins lost nearly twice as much weight — 5.3 compared to 2.9 pounds — than those who consumed 10% of that figure. Plus, the men in this study reported that they experienced greater losses in waist size and body mass index.

The Plandai trial is likely to demonstrate significantly greater bioavailability than the typical 2-13% garnered by competing products, which should foster better-than-historical results. Moreover, the Phytofare™ Catechin Complex is comprised of more than just the EGCG catechin, which should pack an even greater punch through its absorption and weight loss effect. Finally, the tolerability of the Phytofare™ Catechin Complex, due to its very construction, should be much greater than the high levels of EGCG on its own.

With all of these positive attributes in its corner, Plandai is on the verge of changing how we approach weight loss on its way to generating substantial revenue in the nutriceutical space.
