DOMACO instant tea for a harmonious breastfeeding experience
World Breastfeeding Week is a week of action organized by the World Alliance for Breastfeeding Action (Waba for short) and is considered the largest joint campaign of all organizations promoting breastfeeding. As a pioneer and inventor of instant teas and as a family-run company, DOMACO has developed a variety of recipes for mother and child for over 5 decades. One of them specifically for breastfeeding mothers. Our Instant Nursing Tea with essential herbs and vitamin C to promote milk production for a harmonious breastfeeding experience. Due to its high purity, the galenic form of instant teas is very suitable for nursing mothers. The verification of purity of herbs and absence of pesticides and impurities are guaranteed by long-term cooperation with specialists. No tea is purer than instant tea and therefore meets the quality standards. Thanks to the continuous development of the process, today we are able to combine the effect of a cup of tea in 2.0 grams of instant granules. Interested in launching this product concept under your brand? Do not hesitate and contact us.
DOMACO says thank you to friends and partners!
International Friendship Day is a commemorative day celebrated annually on July 30 to remember the importance of friendship between people, countries and cultures.

For this we are very grateful to our partners and we look forward to many more years of good relations with partners from over 40 countries around the world! #businessfriendship #domaco #dnh #naturalhightech #internationaldayoffriends
Gum arabic as a natural prebiotic
A large number of DOMACO's formulations for pastilles are based on the gum arabic ground mass. Gum Arabic is extracted from acacia trees, is an all-rounder and additionally promotes beneficial microflora without showing any side effects. It is a prebiotic fiber, as it is able to selectively increase the levels of lactic acid bacteria and bifidobacteria. As an indigestible carbohydrate, gum arabic is therefore characterized by a low glycemic index (GI), thus helping in the primary prevention of diseases associated with obesity. A large number of DOMACO's pastilles contain a very high content of gum arabic. For example, the pastilles "Good Digestion". Do not hesitate and contact-us@domaco.com. We are your partner for the development and production of Natural Hightech products. #domaco #dnh #naturalhightech #gumarabic #prebiotic #fibre #betterdigest

We launched our first walk-in advent Calendar instead of the traditional Christmas dinners
Hygiene restrictions with regard to COVID-19 continue to apply. Of course we follow to the official guidelines within the company, work partly in home offices and produce our delicious and functional high-tech products day by day. We supply our partners in all countries as usual. In this extraordinary situation we unfortunately cannot enjoy a year-end celebration with our staff this year.
We have therefore created the first walk-in DOMACO Advent calendar to convey joy and warmth and to strengthen the feeling of togetherness. Every day, we open a new window for our employees with surprises and small gifts created by different teams according to the motto "by and for employees". On our LinkedIn page we offer you a daily insight into the Advent calendar. Follow us on Linkedin
Domaco @ Virtual Vitafoods Expo
Join us and don't hesitate to request for a virtual meeting with us. Register for free – the matchmaking platform will go live on August 17,2020. We’ll be happy to virtually meet you.
Vitafoods Expo goes digital. Domaco has decided not to miss the opportunity of connecting with valued customers and prospective partners. In these challenging times, the Vitafoods organisers are committed to keeping the global nutraceuticals community connected, inspired and energised. That's why they have devised the Vitafoods Virtual Expo to be held from September 7 to 11, 2020.
A small contribution to society
The strength of a society is measured by the welfare of the weak. In production companies, overproduction occurs exceptionally. We support the Swiss Caritas Market and donate around 1,300 bottles of HEALTHY BONES Soft Gummies with vitamin K2, D3 and calcium. Instead of disposing the fruity-delicious soft gummies from surplus production, we are making them available to the Swiss Caritas Market, thus giving people affected by poverty the opportunity to provide their children with essential vitamins and calcium for galactically strong bones.
Think about this in your company as well and support such institutions in your region or country. In doing so, you will be helping those affected directly. Further information about the Caritas Market Switzerland is available here: www.caritasmarkt.ch
Happy Birthday dear Switzerland!
Our incredibly beautiful country celebrates its 729th birthday today. Congratulations. You have been home to world’s most happy people and you have excited numerous visitors with your beautiful lakes, forests, cities and mountains. You have always coped with crises, remained independent and self-sufficient and grew into one of the most popular and amazing countries in Europe. We are proud of you, dear Switzerland.

- Classroom teaching at secondary schools, vocational schools and universities is permitted

Let's fight the Corona virus together
A limited action to support the function of our immune systems & to fight Covid-19
Pandemics have repeatedly afflicted people. With the new, rapidly spreading corona virus, mankind is confronted with a frightening situation that determines everyday life. However, if we all strictly follow the recommendations of health organisations and local authorities, we will also survive this crisis in good health. Vitalp wants to contribute to the fight against COVID-19 and is launching a limited product campaign for a good cause: the Immune System Boost lozenges. With the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, the minerals zinc and copper and the natural extracts of elderberry and icelandic moss, you get an extra boost to strengthen your immune system. With two lozenges a day, you support the normal function of your immune system and help to protect the cells from oxidative stress. With the purchase of the product, your donation also supports all actions to contain COVID-19.
Support not only your immune system, but also the good cause
For each package of IMMUNE SYSTEM BOOST sold we donate 50 Eurocents to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, which was launched by the WHO (World Health Organisation) in partnership with the United Nations Foundation and the Swiss Philanthropy Foundation (see note below).
We will continuously publish a news update on the website with the current donation level, which we have achieved together for the fight against COVID-19.
The Vitalp Immune System Boost lozenges will soon be available in stores. We have just launched the product. We are now bundling all our strengths to get retail partners interested in this project and will keep you informed about new retailers.
Together we can do it - stay healthy!
Your Vitalp team and the entire staff of the manufacturer Domaco Dr. med. Aufdermaur AG

COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund

The 4th of April: The day of Vitamin C
04.04.2020 – on this day of vitamin C in honour of Albert Szent-Györgyi and Charles Glen King, the discoverers of vitamin C in 1928, we would like to refer to the interesting history of the probably best known vitamin.
A wide range of products containing vitamin C - and of course many other vitamins, herbs and minerals - are produced day by day in our production facilities. For example, lozenges, tablets, jellies or instant drinks. Our customers benefit from the extensive know-how we have acquired over decades and through more than 800 product developments per year.
Vitamin C is a real all-rounder and is undoubtedly one of the best known vitamins of all. It is involved in numerous metabolic processes and plays a very special role in strengthening your immune system. Vitamin C, also known as ascorbic acid, is one of the water-soluble vitamins along with the B vitamins and folic acid. This means that it can only be stored in the body in small amounts and therefore has to be taken in daily with food. Vitamin C is found in large quantities, especially in fresh vegetables and (citrus) fruits.
The vitamin is essential for life and fulfils various important tasks in the organism. The vitamin was first researched in 1747 and researchers found that vitamin C helps to protect malnourished seafarers from scurvy (vitamin C deficiency disease). This also explains the name "ascorbic acid", which means "without scurvy" in Latin.
More information on vitamin C can be found here.
We are the world leader in qualitative, state-of-the-art and nutrient-preserving processing of pure and natural ingredients. Don't look any longer for the perfect partner to realize your product idea - here you have found him. We promise!
Current - Update 19.03.2020
The coronavirus outbreaks (COVID-19) increase dramatically in many countries and stringent actions are taken by national and local authorities. In this critical situation we focus on two key priorities: caring for the health of our employees and acting responsibly to ensure continued business operations. We do everything we can to fulfil the important role of supplying food, food supplements and pharmaceutical products to the market and consumers.
The outbreaks have until now not affected our operations and we continue to extend our precautionary actions in order to minimise any possible future effects.
This is an update on the measures taken to reduce the risk of disease transmission and secure business contingency as required:
Instructions to all employees are updated and implemented on a regular basis to minimise the risk for transmission and reduce the number of outbreaks. These instructions include.
- Strict hygiene regulations which among others include:
- Handwash with soap for min. 20 seconds frequently
- Distance to other people (min. 2 metres)
- No hand-shake and cheek-kissing
- Following the quarantine rules established in Switzerland
- Instructions how to act if feeling sick
- All travelling is prohibited following national regulations
- All employees who can work from home have to do so
- All employees who are part of the risk group according to the Swiss authorities remain at home
- Minimised internal meeting points, including:
- Pause rooms and meeting rooms with limited number of people and min. 2 metres distance
- Separation of office workplaces
- No inevitable external or internal physical meetings allowed but are organised via phone or video
- No inevitable visits allowed to our premises, except for business critical visits approved
Supply chain and service level
Domaco’s priority is to maintain our high service level and we continue to ship goods as normal unless restrictions from national and local authorities exist. However, border control measures implemented by an increasing number of countries may have an impact on freights and delivery of packaging to our customers.
- Delivery transport can experience delays when crossing restricted country borders, which unfortunately means potentially longer transit times for your goods.
- Our logistics team will work closely with you to reach the necessary flexibility for offloading when needed.
Due to the unpredictable development of the COVID-19 crisis, the confirmation of any delivery date is subject to any further effects of the virus to the current situation. If delays in supply of raw material, production or transportation occur as a result of the corona crisis, we reserve the right to postpone the delivery date to the extent necessary.
Business continuity plans
A company wide business continuity plan (BCP) is in place. A Domaco coordination team closely monitors the development of the coronavirus outbreaks and take further precautions in accordance with guidance from governmental authorities if and when needed. Rest assured that we do everything we can to minimise any effects on our employees and customers due to this situation. We will keep you informed if any of the above measures need to be adapted or extended.
If you have any questions, please contact your daily contact at Domaco.
Silvia Huber, CEO

Fill up with punch in Realp (UR)
