Vogel Echinaforce® - freshness makes the difference in the 1950's, Alfred Vogel met Sioux medicine man, Ben Black Elk, on one of his numerous journeys through North America. During the exchange of their ideas about nature and its influence on the health of mankind, a close friendship developed. Black Elk gave his friend some echinacea purpurea plant seeds, which Alfred Vogel took back home and cultivated in Switzerland. Thus, the basis for Echinaforce® was laid. It is the internationally most successful A. Vogel product. Even today, 50 years later, the echinacea plants for Echinaforce® are organically cultivated and freshly processed within 24 hours. This ensures the best quality and the valuable active substances for fighting off common colds and enhancing the immune system.
