About Institut AllergoSan

Institut AllergoSan, based in Graz, Austria, was founded in 1991 by a group of integrative doctors and pharmacists together with Anita Frauwallner, who is now the managing director. Since then, the company has been focused on the scientific research and development of products made from natural substances such as probiotic bacteria, dietary fibres, micronutrients, and plant extracts. Through the intensive cooperation between Institut AllergoSan and recognised scientists from the fields of medicine, pharmacy, and biochemistry, it has been possible to build up a recognised research and competence centre focused on the largest organ of the human body - the intestine. This has resulted in the OMNi-BiOTiC®, OMNi-LOGiC® and META-CARE® product range, among others.

It has been a true pioneering spirit that drove Anita Frauwallner to embark on a largely unknown path more than 30 years ago: she has dedicated her life to microbiome research and the development of innovative, high-quality probiotics. This spirit has brought OMNi-BiOTiC® to rank today as number 3 on the global probiotic market and number 1 in German-speaking Europe and numerous other countries.
