2022

Together with Prof. Dr. Stefan Hockertz, kingnature is developing the Recovery Box to holistically support people after the pandemic. In trainings, seminars and webinars we continuously share our knowledge and experience in orthomolecular therapy with interested people. Omega 3 Vegan, Boswellia Vida, Q10 Strong and the Calcium Shot are new additions to the product range.

As a family doctor and conventional medical doctor, Dr. med. Heinz Lüscher became increasingly frustrated at being unable to offer patients, with chronic diseases, any meaningful therapies or help. The current, predominantly drug-focussed treatments were proving ineffectual, as well as being associated with strong side effects. In search of a better and more holistic solution, Dr. Lüscher discovered orthomolecular substances or vital nutrients focussed medicine. He began to examine old traditions of naturopathic practices and compared these to modern scientific methods. After several years of continuous self-study, he became a specialist in orthomolecular medicine and discovered several biologically active substances with unbelievable healing potential, especially in the field of chronic disease. However, he needed a suitable manufacturer to produce these substances for him to administer to his patients. His search for companies that could manufacture products with these active ingredients turned out to be futile.

It was at this time that he met Raffaele Carmine. His successful career in banking meant he had experience in founding and managing companies and was just starting his own business with various companies. A few years before, after suffering from chronic bronchitis, he was told that it could only be treated with pharmaceutical medication and that he would be dependent on these drugs for the rest of his life. He was on the lookout for alternative therapies and experienced a complete recovery within a short period of time using an orthomolecular treatment.

Bruno Bayer, the third founder, had been thinking for some time during his work as a development aid worker, school founder and “personal coach for leaders” about how the healthcare system could be revolutionized. At a seminar in South Africa, a former pharmacist spoke about his experiences with vital substances and explained their effects. On this trip, Bruno Bayer decided that he would get involved with this topic as soon as he got back to Switzerland. His long-standing friendship with Heinz Lüscher, as well as the cooperation with Raffaele Carmine in other projects, were decisive for the decision of the three founders to establish a Swiss production company, which would manufacture the products so urgently needed by Dr. Lüscher for his patients in the desired quality. The vision was clear right from the start: to make the treasures hidden in creation available in the best quality and distribute them worldwide. For sustainable good health and for the benefit of our customers.

Kingnature was founded in 2011, first as a GmbH and in 2016 it was expanded to be an AG. From the very beginning, the company has focused on the health of its customers. As a result, kingnature also manufactures products that are economically uninteresting but show good therapeutic success. The owner-managed company develops and produces food supplements, functional foods and natural cosmetics and attaches great importance to natural cultivation and gentle processing of scientifically tested vital nutrients and substances. The company was built in such a way that it does not enrich the owners, but passes on the vision for many generations. This is to the advantage of all employees and customers.

Kingnature manages the entire process from the initial vision, through to the development and research of new products, to approval, production and sales. Kingnature is responsible for all essential steps and can, therefore, guarantee a high product quality. All products are tested during development for their efficacy and especially for resorption. For this purpose we maintain intensive contacts to physicians, universities and partner networks. Kingnature is completely independent of external sponsors and finances its own growth. Our customers have a very high priority. This is why we set very high standards for product quality, advice, service and customer friendliness. The company has two locations in Switzerland (headquarters and production) and now also operates internationally with branches in Germany and Hong Kong and additional sales partners in China, Great Britain, Malaysia and South Africa.
