Cristalfarma was founded in 2004, by a group of young managers within the Mediolanum Farmaceutici Group, with the goal of re-establishing the scientific dignity and the therapeutic relevance of phytotherapy.

In recent years, there has been a clear trend towards “natural healing methods”, primarily evident in herbalist shops and to a lesser degree in pharmacies. Cristalfarma, part of the Mediolanum Group, a consolidated European pharmaceutical company, strongly believes that the potent active ingredients that nature makes available to us can best be understood and used by the physician.
Although Cristalfarma products are sold over the counter and do not require a prescription, the company adopts an approach based on scientific-based marketing, similar to that used for prescription drugs, by investing time and medical-scientific know-how in addressing physicians so that they decide whether or not to recommend the products to their patients. In addition, Cristalfarma products are sold exclusively in pharmacies.

The Cristalfarma mission, therefore, is to regain the cultural  patrimony that embraces over 4000 years of experience in phytotherapy. To this aim, Cristalfarma have adopted a determined approach which addresses phytotherapy in its entirety, from harvesting, collection and production processes up to the central role played by physicians and pharmacists in their use of phytodrugs as the natural answer to some ailments.
