Alfred Vogel Health Herbal medicine Products Information Retailers home > alfred vogel > uniqueness The uniqueness of our plants The plants used to make A. Vogel's fresh plant extracts and fresh plant extract tablets have been grown mainly in Roggwil, Switzerland and the surrounding nutrient-rich soil, in accordance with strict EU organic regulations. This makes it possible to keep plant quality control in one's own hands from sowing the plants to harvesting. The products are manufactured in a pharmaceutical factory in accordance with GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice). Strict quality control tests and inspections are performed throughout the growing season and during manufacture. Some of the plants are left to burn and their seeds are collected every autumn, from which a new seedling stock is obtained again the following spring. Own seed production guarantees good quality for growing plants. The seeds are sown in organic fields. The Swiss climate is ideal for growing strong and healthy plants. Plant welfare is clear evidence of the effectiveness of the methods traditionally used by A. Vogel. Alfred Vogel did not allow any chemical fertilizers or pesticides on his plantations, a principle that we still follow today, thus ensuring the protection of plant health and nature. The plants grow organically and are collected gently. Plants are pruned carefully, usually at sunrise, when the plants contain the highest concentrations of active ingredients. Already a few hours after collecting the plants, they are in their first stage on their way to fresh plant extracts. This transformation from fresh plant to extract takes place through a researched and careful manufacturing method. By using fresh plants, we ensure the best effect of their active ingredients. We also try to avoid unnecessary storage. The plants are extracted by natural water-alcohol extraction to recover all the active ingredients from the plant. Quality control methods are used throughout the production chain. These tests and plant studies have confirmed Vogel's empirical knowledge that fresh plants extracted into alcohol contain more active ingredients than the same amount of dried plants. print Did you know Vogel is involved in a number of projects that save the environment and promote the living conditions of the indigenous people.
