Arkopharma Garcinia Cambogia dietary supplement

Garcinia cambogia is a tropical plant extract popular in slimming and dietary supplements. In France, the most widely recognized and distributed brand formulation of this ingredient in pharmacies and parapharmacies is produced by Arkopharma under its Arkogélules range.

Founded in 1980 in Carros, near Nice, Arkopharma is a prominent French laboratory specializing in phytotherapy and natural health products. Arkopharma formulates and manufactures its capsule supplements domestically in France, upholding European pharmaceutical and nutraceutical standards.

In 2022, Arkopharma was acquired by Dermapharm Holding SE, a German pharmaceutical manufacturer focused on off-patent pharmaceuticals, medical healthcare products, and herbal supplements. While other generic and international nutritional brands market Garcinia cambogia across the globe, the flagship product found on the French pharmacy shelves remains tethered to Arkopharma and its parent group Dermapharm.
