Propagation of Echinacea seed stock
For Bioforce, using our own seed stock provides the basis of consistent product quality.

In the early 1950s, Alfred Vogel received seeds from Sioux Medicine Man Black Elk in South Dakota. These he cultivated organically, growing his first crop of Echinacea purpurea which he used to create Echinaforce®. Every year a section of the Echinacea plants is allowed to go to seed so that we can be assured that all our plants are descendants of the original seeds. In doing so, we guarantee that all A.Vogel Echinacea products are of consistently high quality.

Echinacea - Harvest
A.Vogel plant remedies are organically grown. They are cultivated according to the strict guidelines. The remedy Echinaforce is produced from fresh Echinacea plants. It strengthens the body’s immune system and its effectiveness has been substantiated by various scientific studies. Echinacea plants are harvested at the optimal stage of development to ensure that they contain the highest level of natural ingredients.

Echinacea - Preparation
Freshly harvested Echinacea plants, which are grown organically, are sent to be prepared immediately after the harvest. They are chopped finely and put into a large tank together with alcohol to macerate. After two days of extraction the product is pressed to obtain the liquid (tincture), the resulting residue being composted. The tincture is stored in large tanks.
