About

Anxiofit Ltd. develops dietary supplements against anxiety and improving emotional well-being based on scientific evidence. 

We devoted years of scientific research and carried out several clinical studies to provide support for the growing number of people occasionally experiencing anxiety, stress, nervous inner tension, and restless sleep. 

The company’s first preparation, EP107™, has been successfully marketed for more than 8 years under AnxioCalm brand in the US.

The main component of EP107™ is an ancient herb Echinacea. Echinacea is traditionally used for immune support for the respiratory track, but a group of Hungarian scientists found that a unique type of narrow leaved Echinacea from selected growing areas has proven anxiolytic effects in small dose. Precise standardization ensures a characteristic alkamide profile, making such an effect clinically measurable. Beside its effective anxiolytic effect, EP107™ does not have sedative side effects as most existing preparations do.

History

Founded in 2007 by well-known Hungarian scientists, Prof. Tamas Freund and Prof. Jozsef Haller in the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.  

Anxiolytic effects of certain herbs and compounds are researced funded by EU grants, with a special  emphasis to the endocannabinoid system, CB1 and CB2 receptors. ​This led to the invention that active principles of certain kind of Echinacea has anxiolytic effects.  The effect highly depends on the type of plant, where it is grown, which part of the plant is used and how it is processed.  

Sources for the echinacea supply have been screened. Only few could supply raw materials in stable quality.

 

Scientific methods have been developed to ensure that the final products always have the right quantity of active ingredients (alkamides) responsible for the anxiolytic effect, as some ingredients in Echinacea might even increase anxiety. 

Together with a GMP certified pharma manufacturer (Extractum Pharma) the EP107™ dietary supplement tablet was developed and production started of the 20mg EP107™ minipills.

 

4 animal and 4 human clinical trials have been completed to prove that EP107™ - without side effects -, is ameliorating sub-threshold and mild anxiety, which are clear risk factors in development of anxiety disorders and depression.  Articles are published and patents have been filled.

 

In 2010 the first tablets were sold in the US market (under the AnxioCalm brand by Europharma Inc).

In 2016 the AnxioCalm product received licenses with new healthclaims for distribution also in Canada.

In 2021 new vegan formulation was developed for the EU markets. The distribution of the same new tablets started under different local brands like Cannanx (Austria)AnxioFree (Slovenia) and AnxioControl (Hungary and Turkey).

Proprietary analytics on all ingredient batches ensure that the special alkamides (active principles) responsible for the anxiolytic effect are present in the right proportion and alkamides that are potentially increasing anxiety are absent.
