A.VogelProduct Guide

A.Vogel helps– since 1923

Our Swiss founder, Alfred Vogel, was a pioneer of natural health who dedicated his life to achieving recognition for naturopathy and herbal medicine. His work was pervaded by the idea of a way of life and of healing orientated in every respect towards nature. Today, both the quality and the product manufacturing methods still revolve around his philosophy.

“Nature gives us everything we needto protect and maintain our health” Alfred Vogel 1902–1996

A.Vogel products are now sold in over 30 countries and have been distributed in Canada for over 60 years.

We control the making of our products from seed to bottle. We use fresh organic GMO-free plants.The Power of Fresh PlantsAlfred Vogel discovered at an early age that the strength and therapeutic potential of plant extracts are at their zenith when fresh. His claims were supported by observations, patient interviews and clinical research published in 1994. This is why A.Vogel remedies are as fresh as nature.

In the making of A.Vogel products, plants are processed within a maximum of 24 hours after harvest.

Sustainable Farming Projects A.Vogel medicinal plants come from A.Vogel crops, farmers under contract or carefully supervised wild collections and sustainable farming projects. Taking into account the needs of the local population, optimum protection and sustainable use of natural resources are always at the heart of A.Vogel principles.

exemplified by the wide range of products in the A.Vogel line:• Effective natural remedies
