A.Vogel is a Swiss company and a long-established leader in the field of natural health, specializing in the production of herbal remedies (phytotherapeutics), nutritional supplements, and healthy food products. The company operates on the principles of its founder, the Swiss naturopathy pioneer Alfred Vogel (1902-1996), who championed a holistic approach to health using fresh, organically grown plants.

Foundation and Ownership:

Core Philosophy:
A central tenet is that fresh plants, processed immediately after harvest, contain the full spectrum of active ingredients and thus offer superior efficacy. The company combines traditional herbal knowledge with modern scientific research to prove the effectiveness of its products.

Products:

The company places a strong emphasis on environmental sustainability, growing the majority of its own herbs using strict organic protocols (EKO label, GACP standards) to ensure quality, traceability, and avoid depleting nature’s stock.

Global Presence:
Headquartered in Roggwil, Switzerland, A.Vogel products are available in over 30 countries worldwide, through various channels including pharmacies, health food stores, and supermarkets.

Education:
