Our parent company is based in Roggwil, Switzerland and was founded in 1963 by Alfred Vogel, the eminent Swiss Naturopath and pioneer in natural health. Bioforce AG now supplies fresh herb tinctures and tablets to over 30 countries world-wide.

The majority of herbs used to produce the A.Vogel range are grown using a strict organic protocol, mainly in the fertile conditions of Roggwil. This allows the company to exert complete control over the cultivation of plants, from planting through to harvesting, using Good Agricultural and Collection Practice (GACP). We have complete traceability of our raw material and as we grow our own herbs, we can be certain that our use of plant material is environmentally sustainable.
