OUR PURPOSE

is to give liver a voice so as to foster healthy living and ageing.

MISSION

The liver is responsible for over 500 vital body functions, yet only 5% of people1 are aware of its importance, as it is working in silence and shows no warning signs until it’s too late2.

Essentiale® is on a mission to raise awareness about the importance of liver health.
We provide a variety of solutions designed to support liver health, spanning from online risk-assessment tools to proactive solutions, and from screening devices to treatment products. Our dedicated efforts are focused on expanding our comprehensive range of solutions globally.

ORIGIN AND INNOVATION FOCUS

In 1953 in Cologne, Germany, the foundation of our brand was established when German scientists developed a highly effective liver care treatment called Essentiale®. The name "Essentiale" was an obvious choice because each capsule contains essential phospholipids, which act as fundamental building blocks for liver cells. This is the secret behind Essentiale's effectiveness, as the purer the essence, the better it aids in the regeneration of damaged liver cells.

Since those early days, our profound knowledge of phospholipids has steadily expanded through ongoing research. Today, we meticulously process 7.5 kilograms of soybeans to yield 1.8 grams of EPLs, the recommended daily therapeutic dose for an adult.

Unquestionably, we offer evidence to validate the effectiveness and safety of each Essentiale® product. To do so, we invest significantly in clinical, and real-world studies.

EMPOWER LIVER SELF-CARE

As a leading authority in liver health, we are dedicated to raising awareness about the liver, this beautiful vital organ that profoundly impacts our overall well-being.

This commitment is of utmost importance in the present day, as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) affects 20-30%5 of the general population, with many individuals remaining unaware of this condition. In order to make disease name more comprehensive and acceptable to patients, worldwide medical associations have introduced recently a new name for the disease: MASLD (Metabolic Disfunction Associated Steatotic Liver Disease) and MAFLD (Metabolic Disfunction Associated Fatty Liver Disease) or simply metabolic liver disease.

The risk of MASLD significantly increases with underlying medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Nearly 70%6 of diagnosed NAFLD patients simultaneously experience at least one comorbidity. Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes face a 60%7 chance, while those with obesity have a 90%5 likelihood of developing NAFLD, emphasizing the strong correlation between these conditions.

Untreated NAFLD can progress into more severe liver conditions, yet the liver has the remarkable ability to regenerate. With over 70 years of expertise, Essentiale® prioritizes liver health awareness empowering people to take charge of their liver health and well-being by offering free screening, diagnostics and providing the world’s #1 treatment solution.

GLOBAL LIVER HEALTH CARE INITIATIVES OF ESSENTIALE®:

The risk of NAFLD significantly increases with underlying medical conditions such as obesity, diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Nearly 70%6 of diagnosed NAFLD patients simultaneously experience at least one comorbidity. Individuals with Type 2 Diabetes face a 60%7 chance, while those with obesity have a 90%5 likelihood of developing NAFLD, emphasizing the strong correlation between these conditions.

In alignment with our mission to advocate for liver health and amplify its importance, we have conducted Health Initiatives globally.

2022/2023 – Philippines

3 out of 10 Filipinos are at risk of developing liver related issues, while the lack of knowledge leads to depriorisation of liver checks. With 2.5 million in economic sectors with a high degree of a sedentary work, Filipinos are very susceptible to lifestyle related diseases.

Essentiale® entered partnerships with companies of these sectors and run education campaigns for proactive liver care checking employees for any liver damage or disease prevalence. In 2023, 4 more partner have joined the program to run the campaign with their employees.

2022 – Poland

We reached out to over 29 million people, and introduced our scientifically based online NAFLD self-test, inspiring them to start taking care of their liver.8

We established liver care stations where anyone could benefit of a new and advanced NAFLD diagnosis method – called fibro scan.

2022 – Romania

Inspiring 115.000 persons to start thinking of their liver and self-assess their liver health on our self-check website.

Hundreds of thousand Romanians from 9 cities were given the chance to get free fatty liver risk tests and ultrasounds.9
