The experts

The development of Vitalogic

The university professor Dr. Jürgen Spona, together with his wife Dr. Ingrid Spona, MD, founded the company in 1997. It is based on the highly-individual supplementary preparation, Vitalogic, developed by the leading expert in amino acid research.

The product was then, as now, based on a simple blood test – the Amino acids-Needs-Check – individually prepared for the requirements of individuals. Because no person is like another.
