The company was founded in 2007 by well-known Hungarian scientists, Prof. Tamas Freund, Prof. Jozsef Haller and the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.   They started a research by utilizing governmental and EU grant to gain better understanding of the anxiolytic effects of certain herbs and compounds.  In the research process special emphasis were given to the endocannabinoid system, CB1 and CB2 receptors. ​They found that ingredients of a 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.  

​​

Professional scientific articles have been published about the anxiolytic effects of Echinacea and international patents have been filed by the founding scientists of the company. The company has screened lots of suppliers and only few were safely able to supply raw materials for the production. Scientific methods have been developed to ensure that the final products always have the right quantity of active ingredients responsible for the anxiolytic effect, as some ingredients in Echinacea might even increase anxiety.

In 2009 together with a reputable GMP certified pharma manufacturer (ExtractumPharma) the company developed Anxiofit-1 dietary supplement and started production of the 20mg Anxiofit-1 minipills in pharma quality.

​

​Numerous animal and human clinical trials have been completed to prove that Anxiofit-1 - without side effects-, is ameliorating sub-threshold and mild anxiety, which are clear risk factors in development of anxiety disorders and depression.

​

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