About us
We, the BioProphyl® Europe S.à.r.l., have specialized in the health and prophylaxis sector and since 1991 have been supplying both retail and wholesale trade as well as non-medical practitioners, therapists and also final customers. The brand name "BioProphyl" is composed of Bio (= natural) and Prophylaxis (= prevent) and is a registered trademark.
Since the foundation of our company, the longstanding cooperation with therapists has been requiring a high demand on the quality of our products. Thus, our products are not any kind of "pill" with placebo-similar effect, but exclusively meaningful, highly nutritive supplements whose ingredients - tested for harmful substances and heavy metals - have partly been published in comprehensive studies and nowadays are the basis for keeping us healthy and fit - and consequently improve quality of life. Optimal quality at a very favorable price is our top priority.
The company is located in the wonderful village Nitz in the Eifel - near the Nürburgring. Until 2002, our company was based in Mayen under the company name "S-Line Gesundheitsprodukte (Health Products)".
Philosophy
Our life, our ways of life and our nutrition have changed fundamentally. The human being of the 21st century has experienced an intensive change. He is taller, carries more weight and gets much older. However, he works less than our ancestors, who used to work harder in the fields, and therefore is in need of less energy. The technical progress has brought him a range of comforts. It is right that the need for high-energy food has decreased, but the spiritual demands on the contrary have substantially increased. Nowadays, the human being is in need of food, which is rich in nutrients but calorie-adapted. However, due to a reverse development he paradoxically often gets food, which is poor in nutrients but high in energy.
In the classical sense, he will be less ill, but suffer disharmonies between his systems. And he will face problems to find his food wholesome, i.e. fresh, natural and rich in vitamins, trace elements, and vital substances. Furthermore, he is confronted with consequences of environmental pollution and industrially processed food. Moreover, stress and drugs put a heavy strain on him.
Therefore, it is no wonder that there is a branch of industry, which has taken care of this development, trying to fulfill the demands beyond the possibilities of nature. The main emphasis of nutrition-medical research is increasingly put away from removing deficiency symptoms, whose treatment meanwhile involves costs amounting to more than 100 billions per year, up to optimization of the state of health, prolongation of life and quality of life. The resulting demands for food supply, however, can hardly be covered by natural food and therefore require the supply of appropriate preparations and food supplements.
Furthermore, corresponding to this development the trend towards more personal responsibility is growing also, because people are interested in health care. Of course, we cannot charge someone else with the responsibility of our health. And even the indispensable help of persons skilled in the art of healing cannot replace the own attempt to come to terms with health injury. However, a critical attitude to recognize the willingness of learning that our conditions of life have radically changed as well as the determination to deal with the practical possibilities of prevention, are nowadays prerequisites for keeping and supporting good health.
Health products of BioProphyl help to balance deficiencies, to live healthy and to keep fitness. They distinguish by a high quality and well-balanced, up-to-date, above all, however, meaningful ingredients, nowadays an important criterion for many people.
Why are food supplements so important?
According to nutritional-scientific researches there are certain vitamins as well as nutrients and vital substances which help to live healthy and fit and can even prolong ageing. An optimal supply with these nutrients and vital elements therefore has become indispensable, if we intend to protect our greatest good and if we want to remain fit.
Of course: Wholesome, healthy vitamin- and mineral-nutrient based food and consistent abstention from coffee, sugar, alcohol, tobacco, chocolate or other "luxury foods" creates a reasonable, healthy basis. However, even for nutrition-conscious people it is not always possible to live well balanced and wholesome. And who wants to abandon everything!
Who, in addition, can still guarantee that the nutrients and vital elements we are in need of can really be found in food in the required quantity? If we believe in all the reports regarding industrial processing of our food, pesticides, artificial cultivation and used chemicals and antibiotics, this is likely to be doubted at least.
To sum up:
A "normal" nutrition can no longer safely cover the need of certain vital nutrients. Additional food supplements and supplementary nutrients are becoming increasingly important for our health and a steady component of the daily nutrition.
