A.Vogel Echinaforce Forte Cold & Flu tablets

A.Vogel Echinaforce Forte is a high-potency traditional herbal medicine used for the symptomatic relief of colds and influenza-type infections. The product is derived from freshly harvested, organically grown Echinacea purpurea (both herb and root), which is processed within 24 hours of harvest at the brand's main facilities in Switzerland. This fresh-plant extraction method is a hallmark of the brand, aimed at preserving a higher concentration of active substances compared to dried plant extracts.

The brand was founded in 1923 by Alfred Vogel, a Swiss naturopath and pioneer in natural health, who originally opened a health food store in Basel. Over the decades, the company expanded into global markets and established Bioforce AG (now A.Vogel AG) in 1963 to scale production. Today, the brand remains independently owned, with the majority of the company held by the Alfred Vogel Foundation, ensuring that the founder's holistic principles and commitment to organic cultivation continue to guide the business operations and manufacturing standards.
