PHARMALP

What PHARMALP does

Pharmalp SA is a Swiss natural health products company headquartered in Conthey, Valais, founded in 2009. The company develops and markets approximately 20 dietary supplements organized around two pillars: phytotherapy derived from Alpine medicinal plants (lemon balm, California poppy, hibiscus, sweet woodruff) and probiotics developed with local research partners. Its portfolio addresses ten therapeutic segments, including iron deficiency (SPIRUL-1, a high-bioavailability spirulina delivering 85% NRV per tablet), women's health (FEMINA CYCLES, FEMINA MOOD, FLOREVIA), immunity (PHARMALP DEFENSES), digestive comfort (PHARMALP MICROBIOTA, Pastilles des Alpes Digest), sleep and stress (PHARMALP SLEEP, RELAXKIT), cardiovascular health (HIBISCOL), urinary-tract support (INUROLA), allergies (PHARMALP PRO-A), and — following the March 2026 launch — skincare (GEL DES ALPES).

The company operates a hybrid distribution model: products are sold through Swiss pharmacies and drugstores, direct-to-consumer via the proprietary e-commerce platform pharmalp.ch with free shipping above CHF 40, and across five European countries via the partner site santedesalpes.com (France, Germany, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands). A B2B partner program offers discounted pricing to licensed Swiss healthcare professionals. Consumer pricing sits between CHF 12.50 and CHF 46.90 per SKU, positioning the brand in the premium natural health tier.

Raw materials are sourced through partnerships with Valais mountain farmers for Alpine botanicals and through an Ecocert-certified spirulina production arrangement. Product claims are supported by clinical studies conducted with Expansion Consulteam. Despite operating with a small team (1–10 employees), Pharmalp has continued to invest in product extension in early 2026, launching FLOREVIA CARE INTIME in February and GEL DES ALPES in March, signaling active category and line-depth expansion.
