Behind the Dr. Wolz brand stands a traditional, owner-managed family business, now proudly run by its third generation. The foundation of our success story was laid more than 50 years ago by biotechnologist Siegfried Wolz. In the 1960s, he conducted research as part of the team led by Professor Feodor Lynen, who was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1964 for discovering "Acetyl-CoA"—a central key compound in cellular metabolism. Since this groundbreaking work was conducted on yeast, Siegfried Wolz also focused his scientific endeavors on this fascinating microcosm. In 1969, he finally achieved a breakthrough: he developed the Enzym-Hefezellen Dr. Wolz® (Enzyme Yeast Cells), which remain unique to this day and serve as a biological "fuel for the cells." To deepen his research and advance the development of holistic health supplements, he founded Dr. Wolz Zell GmbH that same year in Geisenheim (Rheingau), where the company remains rooted to this day.

Scientific Evolution Across Generations

A passion for health runs in the family: his children, Angela Wenzel-Wolz and Dr. Georg Wolz, MD, joined the company early on. Following his successful studies in biotechnology and medicine, Dr. Georg Wolz brought his profound expertise back to the family business, significantly shaping product development and expanding the product range on a solid scientific foundation. Today, Dr. Wolz has established itself as a renowned gut specialist, among other areas of expertise. Following the strictest quality criteria, we manufacture a wide variety of microbiotic supplements that are successfully distributed worldwide. A broad spectrum of highly bioactive phyto-supplements, as well as specialized formulas for the immune system, cardiovascular health, children, and athletes, round out our holistic approach. The company's innovative strength remains firmly in family hands: representing the third generation, the founder’s grandson, David Wenzel, helps steer the company's future as part of the executive management team.

Without exception, all Dr. Wolz supplements are researched, developed, and produced in Germany. The heart of our family business has been located in Geisenheim in the Rheingau region of Hesse since its founding in 1969. By intentionally bundling scientific development, production, and logistics at a single central location, all of our processes interlock seamlessly. This guarantees you the highest level of safety, transparency, and "Made in Germany" quality at all times.

1. More than Just Supplements: The Holistic Approach | Why do people choose Dr. Wolz?

Because we don't think in terms of "isolated substances," but in complex systems. The human body is a marvel of biochemistry, not a chemical laboratory. That is why we consistently rely on natural synergies in our formulations. Instead of using high doses of isolated vitamins or minerals, our ingredients remain within their natural matrix. This "biological matrix" is the key to ensuring that nutrients are not simply excreted. Instead, they are recognized, absorbed, and utilized by the body exactly where they are needed—deep within the cells.

2. The Technological Core: Our Oxygen Enzyme Fermentation 

What makes our Enzym-Hefezellen Dr. Wolz® (Enzyme Yeast Cells) so unique is our gentle manufacturing process. While standard industrial methods often rely on high heat or aggressive drying to preserve substances, we utilize oxygen enzyme fermentation. Live Activity: The cells remain biologically active. Natural Abundance: All valuable components—enzymes, vitamins, trace elements, and amino acids—are preserved in their original, natural configuration. It is a highly demanding, artisanal process that cannot simply be copied, as it has been perfected in-house over decades. 

3. "Made in Germany" as a True Quality Guarantee 

For us, our location in Geisenheim is more than just an address. It is our promise of safety. In an era when many manufacturers shift their production globally, we deliberately remain in the Rheingau region. This allows us to maintain complete, end-to-end control: We select our raw material suppliers according to the strictest ethical and quality criteria. Our tight-knit quality assurance system includes comprehensive in-house testing alongside regular inspections by independent, external laboratories. To us, safety means knowing exactly what goes into every single bottle and capsule, because we oversee the process ourselves from the very first second. 

4. The "Nobel Prize DNA": Science as our Foundation 

Dr. Wolz is deeply rooted in biochemical research. The fact that our founder, Siegfried Wolz, worked alongside future Nobel laureate Prof. Feodor Lynen on researching cellular metabolism (Acetyl-CoA) is not just a historical note—it is our company’s DNA. This scientific curiosity continues to drive us today. With Dr. Georg Wolz, MD, serving as the medical head of the company, the latest medical insights, clinical studies, and a profound understanding of human physiology flow into every new product. We do not manufacture anything that is not medically sound and scientifically proven. 

5. The "Gut Specialist" with a Long Tradition 

Why are our microbiotic supplements so highly regarded? Because we view the gut not merely as a digestive organ, but as the centerpiece of the immune system and overall health. We didn't just jump on the modern gut health "trend"—we helped shape this specialized discipline through decades of pioneering work. Our expertise lies in the targeted combination of diverse bacterial strains and their synergistic support, ensuring that a healthy microbiota can sustainably thrive. 

6. A Family Business Guided by Responsibility 

Dr. Wolz is managed by its third generation. For you, this means we personally back our quality with our family name. There are no anonymous investors prioritizing short-term financial returns. Our sole benchmark is helping you maintain or restore your health. You can feel this sense of responsibility in every interaction—from our personal customer service to the scientific advice provided by our experts. We remain deeply committed to the tradition of our founder, while embracing progress for the future health of our customers.
