PROVEN EFFICIENCY
We carefully monitor all stages of product birth:
- We base our formulations on rigorous scientific evidence. The effective action of all active ingredients that we include in our preparations has been proven by reliable research. In addition, we make sure that useful substances are included in the drug in dosages that are required to solve a particular problem.
- We select suppliers of all components for our products, giving preference to patented raw materials with proven properties. We pay special attention to the standardization of plant extracts in order to control the exact amount of nutrients. This is the only way to guarantee their beneficial effect.
- For the production of our drugs, we conclude contracts with pharmaceutical companies, which comply with GMP standards and have the most modern technological equipment.
As a result, products are born, in the benefits and quality of which we are completely confident.
The effectiveness of this strategy of our company is proved by many factors:
-
The trust of millions of people who choose our drugs and use them for more than one year. For example, Speroton has been a top male fertility medication for several years, whereas Mense is the best-selling non-hormonal alternative for menopause symptoms. As the marketing data shows, many people learned about our products from relatives and friends, and followed their advice.
- Recognition by the medical community. Information about our products is included in their articles, reports, training webinars and lectures by leading experts in the field of pediatrics, reproduction, allergology and others.
- The results of clinical trials that are carried out in medical institutions in compliance with all prerequisites.

A bunch of independent professional awards, including the Brand of the Year and Green Cross, plus letters of gratitude and appreciation from organizations, such as the Russian Society of Urology and National Medical Research Center for Obstetrics, Gynecology and Perinatology named after Academician V.I. Kulakov.
We do not rest on our laurels - our company continues to develop dynamically in all areas: research, production, management, financial.
We bring together the newest scientific discoveries, the results of the latest research, modern standards for pharmaceutical manufacturing and innovative technologies.
HISTORY
The course for innovation was set by the company’s founder and first head – Mikhail Ivanovich Lazarev, an entrepreneur and an inventor.
The molecular encapsulation technology had become the company’s first unique design. Based on that technology, we created Vetoron – a bioavailable form of beta-carotene. It had quickly won favour with professionals and consumers.
At the same time, we were doing a lot of scientific work and were getting ready for a new breakthrough.
It came in the form of a revolutionary vitamin and mineral complex Alfavit which had, for the first time ever, implemented the recommendations of scientists on combined and separate intake of micronutrients.
The next step was studying the properties and features of essential oils, as a result of which a line of Dyshi products appeared for non-drug therapy and prevention of colds.
Drugs for competent support of reproductive health and proper planning of conception became a new niche for the Russian market. We focused on creation of effective and at the same time affordable drugs for increasing male and female fertility. This is how Speroton and Pregnoton appeared, quickly winning the trust of specialists and helping more than one couple to become happy parents.
