Quality starts with the plant

At A.Vogel, quality is not just a single inspection step at the end of the production process. Quality begins much earlier: with the seeds, the soil, cultivation, harvesting, processing, and every analytical check all the way through to the finished product.

We work with plant-based raw materials that are carefully selected, tested, and processed. Many medicinal plants come from regional or certified organic farms. Whenever possible, we prioritize short supply chains, fresh processing, and a close connection between agriculture, production, research, and quality assurance.

From Seed to Finished Product

This is because, when it comes to plant-based products, it is not just the plant itself that determines quality. Other key factors include origin, soil, climate, harvest time, processing, analysis, and storage.

Our quality standards apply to every stage of the value chain. We verify where a plant comes from, how it was grown, when it is harvested, which part of the plant is used, and how it must be processed.

  1. Sustainable Cultivation of Medicinal Plants

    Responsibility Starts with Origin and Handcrafting

    Many of our medicinal plants are grown in Switzerland or as part of carefully selected cultivation projects. We are committed to controlled cultivation, organic farming, and high environmental standards. Even today, much of the work is still done by hand. This is particularly important when plants need to be harvested, sorted, or processed with care. This attention to detail preserves the quality of the plant—and thus the quality of the final product.

  2. Fresh Plants as a Quality Principle

    Gentle processing to preserve a natural range of active ingredients

    The processing of fresh plants is a key quality feature of A.Vogel. Many medicinal plants are processed shortly after harvest to best preserve their natural spectrum of active ingredients. This proximity between the field and production is a major advantage. It allows for short transport distances, clear oversight, and particularly careful handling of the plants.

  3. Quality Through Thorough Testing

    Modern Analytics and Experience Working in Tandem

    Herbal products are complex. Every plant contains a wide variety of natural ingredients. That is why, at A.Vogel, ensuring quality requires experience, modern analytical methods, and a deep understanding of each plant. Our quality control department tests raw materials, intermediate products, and finished products. These tests focus on identity, purity, content, stability, and safety. A product is not released until all requirements have been met.

  4. Quality in accordance with pharmaceutical standards
