Fresh plants

Alfred Vogel came to the conclusion early on that extracts from
freshly harvested plants had a better, �wider and deeper� effect
than the standard extracts of that time from dried plants. This
discovery proved to be an enormously important motivation for
his entire life, for his work as a naturopath, for his research into
medicinal plants, for his recipes and for the best possible
methods of production.
The fresh plants had to be organically cultivated, harvested or
gathered at the optimum time and above all, prepared with
great speed. Alfred Vogel and his co-workers carried out
numerous tests to find out which plant best developed the
entire spectrum of active ingredients. They found out, amongst
other things, what if any were the differences in quality
between plants grown in the lowlands and those grown on high
ground. The aim was always to offer the best quality fresh
plant preparations possible.
Alfred Vogel imposed standards with these demands for quality
that are nowadays consistently implemented at Bioforce AG in
Roggwil. And what�s more, with an ever-increasing knowledge
about the environment as well as questions about climate
change and the importance of sustainability, A.Vogel has
succeeded today, with modern methods, in lending even
stronger support to Alfred Vogel�s philosophy.
