About A.Vogel

A.Vogel AG, headquartered in Roggwil in the canton of Thurgau, develops and produces herbal medicines (phytopharmaceuticals), foods, dietary supplements, medical devices and personal care products made from fresh plants. The company follows the fresh plant principle: the medicinal plants are harvested by hand and extracted within 24 hours of harvesting, which results in a demonstrably higher concentration of active ingredients compared with dry extracts. Many plants come from regional or controlled organic cultivation. In research and development, A.Vogel combines traditional plant knowledge with modern science and demonstrates the efficacy of its herbal medicines in controlled clinical studies. Well-known products include Echinaforce®, Prostasan®, Menosan® Salvia, Santasapina® and the herb salt Herbamare®. The company employs around 500 people worldwide, 180 of them in Switzerland, generates revenue of over 100 million Swiss francs and distributes its products in more than 30 countries.
