Inventive Spirit and Research Drive

Where others searched for more matter, Ceres founder Dr Roger Kalbermatten searched for more effect: with an analytical eye, he questioned established assumptions – and found the crucial dimension of effect in the vitality of the plant.

Thus, in the early 1980s, the Swiss biochemist and medicinal plant researcher Dr Roger Kalbermatten asked a simple question: Does more plant active ingredient really mean more effect?

This question led to intensive research – and challenged a central dogma of modern phytotherapy. In clinical studies, Dr Kalbermatten was able to show: what matters is not the quantity, but the degree of effect.

From this insight arose Ceres – a company that, with an optimised, patented manufacturing process, makes the full potential and vitality of medicinal plants accessible.

Thus, from an observation came a path. From the path, a company. And from the company, a movement: for plant-based medicinal products that suit people – because they have remained alive.
