Vitalkuren GmbH is a German-headquartered specialist in premium, science-based nutritional supplements. Noted for pharmaceutical-grade R&D, strict quality control and 100 % in-house production, the company has been active across the European nutraceutical sector for decades and offers global OEM/ODM services.
In 1981 the Wolfgang Wichmann-led group acquired Wichmann & Stiefel GmbH and re-branded it Vitalkuren GmbH. The team’s nutritional-science background established the “specialised, single-source manufacturing” principle still followed today.
An integrated R&D centre and analytical lab cover formula screening, stability testing and scale-up. Dosage forms include oral liquids, capsules, powders and tablets. All products comply with EU/German regulations; some drinkable ampoules carry tamper-evident caps plus full batch traceability, with internal specs that exceed statutory limits.
Vitalkuren provides end-to-end solutions from concept to consumer:
- Custom manufacturing: OEM/ODM partnerships with tailored formulas, dosage forms and packaging.
- Closed-loop production: raw-material inspection, manufacturing, filling and final packaging are completed in the company’s own German plant, guaranteeing full traceability.
- Full-chain control: in-house management of sourcing, R&D, production and packaging eliminates third-party risk.
- Science-driven formulas: based on peer-reviewed studies and developed with academic partners; continuous efficacy & safety optimisation.
- Regulatory support: one-stop assistance for German PZN codes, certificates of origin, EU-compliant dossiers, easing market entry into Germany and wider Europe.
- Multi-channel reach: established network covering pharmacies (Apotheke), retail chains (dm, Rossmann) and e-commerce platforms (Amazon, iHerb) for fast brand listing.
