The breadth · From nature into the food bowl
Herbal Complex — more than
just herbs.
More than 20 carefully selected herbs from around the world, combined according to the principles of traditional medicine and modern synergy research. Not as an afterthought, but as a well-considered principle of action.
Not just “food with herbs”. A scientifically formulated organic complex.

Why this complex
Four principles make the
difference.
These four points are exactly why our Organic Complex is not ‘just another herbal blend’.
Over 20 herbs
We draw on the full diversity of traditional medicine — each herb with a specific role within the complex.
The whole plant
We don't use isolated extracts. This keeps the main active compound and its accompanying compounds together — just as nature intended.
Synergies put to targeted use
We know which herbs enhance each other and which block each other — and we put the complex together accordingly.
Documented formula
It's not just what's inside that counts, but in what proportions. Our composition is precise and reproducible.
What a plant really contains
Eight families of active compounds in
every herb.
Over millions of years of evolution, every plant has built up a sophisticated blend. This diversity is no coincidence — it is the result of a natural composition.
- Flavonoids Antioxidant, antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory — they protect the cells.
- Polyphenols & Tannins Antioxidant and antimicrobial, effective against diarrhoea and parasites.
- Bitter compounds Stimulate appetite and digestion — important for nutrient absorption.
- Glycosides Enhance the effect of the plant's main active compounds.
- Essential oils Antibacterial and promotes digestion.
- Alkaloids Antimicrobial, antifungal and anti-inflammatory.
- Saponins Protect the intestinal mucosa and have an antiviral effect.
- Vitamins, Minerals & Trace Elements The foundation — they carry the effect of all the other groups.
Hover over a group: it doesn't stand alone but works as part of the whole complex.
If you reduce a plant to a single active compound — such as only curcumin from turmeric — you lose all the accompanying compounds that make the effect well-rounded in the first place: less effect, poorer tolerability, limited benefit. That's why we work with the whole plant instead of breaking it down.
Synergy, not just an add-on
Why herbs aren't simply
thrown together.
When two herbs come together, there are three possible outcomes. Only one of them is the one you want.
The herbs reinforce one another. The result is more than the sum of its parts.
The herbs work alongside each other without influencing one another. Nothing gained, nothing lost.
The herbs hinder one another. The result is weaker than a single herb on its own.
The best example
20-fold
higher bioavailability of curcumin
Turmeric meets black pepper
Curcumin — the main active compound in turmeric — is difficult for the body to absorb on its own. When turmeric is combined with the right dose of black pepper (piperine), the bioavailability of curcumin increases 20-fold.*
A blend becomes a product that is many times more effective — without the dose having to be increased. That is exactly what synergy is. That is exactly what Bio-Complex is.
How the Organic Complex is made
Seven stages, one
protocol.
Every step is designed to preserve the natural effect of the herbs and to specifically enhance it.
-
Selection of herbs
More than 20 herbs from European, Asian and African healing traditions are selected for their profile of action — not because they look good on a label, but because each one fulfils a specific role within the complex.
-
Quality testing
Every batch is tested for purity, active compound content and freedom from contaminants. Harvest time, climate and soil quality determine the value of a herb — we check each of these steps.
-
Gentle drying
The herbs are dried at low temperatures to preserve vitamins, essential oils and secondary plant compounds.
-
Fine milling
The whole plant — not just individual parts — is ground into a fine, even powder so that all ingredients are readily accessible.
-
Composition according to formula
The herbs are combined in precisely defined percentage ratios. Even small shifts change the effect of the entire complex — synergies are used deliberately, antagonisms consciously avoided.
-
Homogenisation
Careful mixing ensures that every portion contains the same ratio of all 20+ herbs. This keeps the effect reproducible.
-
Final inspection & filling
Every batch is tested again before filling. Only then does the organic complex go into its final packaging.
Mechanisms of action
Six levels — at once.
The Herbal Complex doesn't act on just one area. These six areas of action show how the plant ingredients actually reach your dog's body.
Anti-inflammatory
Bioactive compounds such as sterols, saponins and triterpenes inhibit pro-inflammatory messengers and enzymes. They act on key signalling pathways — similar to conventional anti-inflammatories, but without their side effects.
Gastrointestinal tract
Bitter compounds stimulate the production of saliva, gastric juice and pancreatic juice and support digestive enzymes. They also contribute to protecting the stomach lining, regular bowel activity and reduced permeability of the intestinal wall.
Natural defences
Stimulates macrophages and white blood cells, and supports interferon production and gut-associated immune tissue. Here, herbs act as gentle modulators, not as stimulants.
Antioxidant
Polyphenols, flavonoids and vitamin C neutralise free radicals, reduce oxidative stress and strengthen the body's own protective enzymes.
Detox organs
Protects the liver from toxins and promotes bile secretion, thereby improving digestion and fat utilisation. The kidneys are also supported, including protection against toxic load.
Stress & Mood
Adaptogenic properties regulate cortisol levels and the stress axis. Vitamin B complex and amino acids support serotonin production — for a balanced mood and better sleep.
In comparison
Add-on or
mode of action.
We respect every manufacturer that strives to make healthy dog food. Even so, we want to be honest so that you can make a well-informed decision.

Our Promise
Not improving on nature, but respectfully
combining it.
We believe that, over millions of years of evolution, nature has created something a laboratory cannot recreate in a single generation: whole plants that are coherent in themselves.
Honesty
We tell you what's inside — and why.
Completeness
The whole plant, not just part of it.
Knowledge
A composition based on research and traditional healing knowledge.
Responsibility
We respect what nature has given us.
* The 20-fold bioavailability effect of piperine on curcumin and the signalling pathways mentioned are taken from the background document and will be substantiated with the primary sources before going live.
