Springfield is a Dutch company specialized in the sales and marketing of nutraceuticals (food supplements with science based, proven effects). Springfield has launched food supplements with unique properties and added value regularly since 1998. We closely follow the latest developments in the world of nutrients and science. Our motto is:

HEALTH THROUGH NATURE, SCIENCE
AND INNOVATION

Many of the supplements carried by Springfield are based on scientific studies. Currently, there are at least ten studies in progress for supplements in our product range. This provides our main target groups – physicians and therapists – with assurance about the effects of the supplements and their performance in actual practice.

It is Springfield’s mission to introduce safe nutraceuticals that have noticeable effects on people’s conditions. Important secondary objectives are prevention and health maintenance.

The main criteria in this context are the wellbeing of and the attention paid to people with health problems, but also to healthy people. The founders of Springfield – Christa and Peter van Hogerhuis – want to ensure that people receive the utmost personal attention.

Springfield is a registered brand name in Europe and ever-increasing numbers of supplements are finding their way to users in many countries. Springfield was either the first or one of the first to introduce a number of patented and/or unique food supplements in Europe.

In the Netherlands, distribution is handled by dispensing chemists, drugstores and health shops. Springfield products are being marketed in an increasing number of other European countries, including Belgium, Germany, Spain and the United Kingdom.

Springfield has expanded rapidly. Seven years ago, it was literally a one-man company; now the company has fourteen employees.

Scientific support and evidence base are important parts of the organization. A nutritionist and a pharmacist have joined the company to further enhance the evidence basis of all supplements. Part of their task is to assist in our own studies and to provide public information.

In the Netherlands, Springfield is the largest advertiser in trade magazines in the field of complementary medicine. The marketing activities are very broad and include much media attention, thus allowing us to carefully detail the quality and depth of the information made available. Such support is made up of comprehensive articles, which include literature references and provide information concerning the causes of certain problems and the beneficial effects food supplements have on these problems.

Practically all top supplements from Springfield’s product range are based on human studies. This increases product authority and thereby the Springfield brand.

Springfield supplements are involved in several studies directed by reputable scientists. In the coming years, such activities will be further expanded.

A very recent example of a new innovative supplement is MenaQ7, the first supplement containing natural vitamin K2. Leading authorities in the scientific world have published about the health effects of vitamin K2 on osteoporoses. Two other trials, published in 2007 in the scientific journals Blood and Journal of Vascular research, found that vitamin K2 also had an important role in vascular health. For the first time a natural substance was able to decrease arterial calcification.

Other areas of study involving Springfield products are:

• macula degeneration
• learning and behaviour problems
• specific bladder conditions
• chronic fatigue syndrome
• endometriosis
• immune function.

Springfield will soon be introducing some important supplements, each of which will be supported by new, sometimes remarkable studies.

Science-based innovation will remain an important focus for Springfield in the coming years. This will continue to distinguish us from most other suppliers of food supplements.
