# Innovital ## Facts | | | |---|---| | Founded | 2004 | | Origin | Germany | | Headquarters | Grassau | | Status | Active | | Manufacturing | Germany | | Distribution | Multi-channel | | Website | https://www.innova-vital.de/ | Innovital is a German maker of enzyme-based dietary supplements, run by InnovaVital GmbH from Grassau in the Chiemgau region of Upper Bavaria. Its range centres on enzyme combinations, vitamin emulsions and mineral blends that, in the company's words, support the immune system as a whole. A small number of products reach into personal care: a skin cream for dry and stressed skin and a dental-care chewing gum, both built around the enzyme lysozyme. The company was founded by the physician Hellmut Münch, who in 2001 succeeded his mentor Karl Ransberger at the head of a Grassau-based enzyme research association [2]. That lineage, which ties the brand to an early figure in industrial enzyme preparations, is central to how Innovital presents itself. The company remains active, with its own online shop and a calendar of public lectures running into late 2026. ## Origin & founders Innovital's story begins with an older institution. According to the company, Karl Ransberger, whom it describes as the inventor of industrially produced enzyme preparations, founded the Medizinische Enzymforschungsgesellschaft (MEF e.V.), a medical enzyme research association, in Grassau in the 1950s. Hellmut Münch worked under Ransberger as his protégé and took over leadership of the association from him in 2001 [2]. The company says Münch carries his mentor's work forward with an eye on the needs of the present day. Münch, a medical doctor, has devoted more than 30 years to enzyme therapy, according to the company. He develops the products together with his wife, Maja Münch, who holds an engineering degree in food technology. Innovital frames their partnership as a shared vision of "helping people", which it says took physical shape in 2009, when the business moved into a building of its own. The company names a single finding as its foundation stone: that enzymes help the body's immune defence. Everything in the range, from tablets to a throat spray, is presented as an extension of that idea. The company's website does not state a founding year. Commercial register data show that when InnovaVital GmbH was first entered, its registered seat was in neighbouring Marquartstein, with share capital of EUR 25,000 and two managing directors [9]. Today the company is registered with the local court in Traunstein and is based on Mitterbachweg in Grassau [6]. ## History & milestones The company's own timeline starts in 2005 with innovazym, an enzyme combination enriched with vitamins, micronutrients, bioflavonoids (plant pigments), coenzyme Q10 and, in the innovazym PLUS version, omega-3 fatty acids. Innovital positioned it for strengthening the immune system and for use in inflammatory conditions. After the 2009 move, the range broadened steadily. In 2011 came innovabalance, a blend of minerals and trace elements aimed at the body's acid-base balance. A year later the company introduced innovamulsin, a line of vitamin A and vitamin D3 emulsions. innovazym PUR, which pairs enzymes with vitamin C and zinc, followed in 2013, and a chewable innovabalance tablet without added sugar in 2014. In 2016 the company launched innovazym CA, combining papain, trypsin and chymotrypsin with selenium. Two years later it added innovaimmun C, based on acerola, vitamin C and zinc, along with two further emulsions: vitamin E with selenium, and vitamin D3 with K2. The later launches moved beyond tablets and drops. innovaspray IMMUN, a mouth and throat spray containing vitamins, minerals and lysozyme, appeared in 2019. In 2020 the company released innovazym LOCAL, a skin cream for dry and stressed skin, and in 2022 innovazym DENT, a dental-care chewing gum with lysozyme and xylitol. These last two are the products that place Innovital at the edge of the beauty and personal-care category. ## Philosophy & positioning Innovital describes its core idea as combining enzyme therapy with orthomolecular medicine, an approach built on vitamins, minerals and trace elements. The aim, as the company puts it, is the greatest possible combined effect in supporting the immune system, both in everyday life and in times of stress. It says it pays particular attention to two qualities: bioavailability, meaning how readily the body can absorb and use a nutrient, and naturalness. Its mission statement places the health and well-being of people at the centre of its work and commits the company to developing natural, effective combinations for holistic immune support [1]. The tagline on its website reads "Einfach wohl fühlen!", roughly "simply feel well", followed by the line that an active immune system brings a better quality of life. The brand's logo, a circle of arrows, comes with its own explanation. According to Innovital, each arrow stands for an individual regulating element; used together, they form a "round whole". The image doubles as a summary of the product logic, in which enzymes, vitamins and minerals are offered as separate but complementary parts of one routine. The company presents its products as considered alternatives to long-established approaches and says it is led by experienced doctors and businesspeople. Its Grassau headquarters houses research and development, administration and marketing. Rather than leaning on a lifestyle image, Innovital emphasises medical expertise. Its website lists regular telephone consultation hours with a physician, Dr. Rudolf Inderst, on enzyme therapy, acid-base regulation and vitamins D3 and A, and with a pharmacist, Meryem Köse, on micronutrients, vitamins and enzyme therapy. ## Products & innovation The range is organised into five lines, each named with the "innova" prefix. innovazym is the core enzyme line. Besides the original tablet, it includes innovazym PLUS for chronic complaints, innovazym PUR for supporting the immune system after intense physical exertion, and innovazym CA, which the company positions as prevention and support. Across the line, Innovital highlights papain, bromelain, trypsin, chymotrypsin and, above all, lysozyme. It says innovazym contains a particularly high proportion of lysozyme, which it describes as an antibacterial enzyme. innovamulsin covers liquid vitamin concentrates, including single-vitamin A and D3 emulsions and a combined E+D3+K2+A formula that supplies all the fat-soluble vitamins. The company claims these high-dose emulsions are absorbed through the lymphatic system and therefore reach the highest level of bioavailability [2]. It presents its vitamin A emulsion as strengthening the skin's barrier function. innovabalance, sold as a drink powder and as chewable tablets, targets acid-base balance and is marketed particularly to people who are physically active. The innovaimmun line includes the vitamin C product and innovaimmun Ω, an omega-3 supplement the company links to normal heart and brain function and to vision. innovaspray IMMUN comes in a peppermint flavour; the company points out that its lysozyme is a substance the body also produces itself. Two products sit closest to beauty and personal care. innovazym LOCAL is a skin cream for dry and stressed skin, offered in two tube sizes. innovazym DENT is a dental-care chewing gum with lysozyme and xylitol, which the company labels a cosmetic chewing gum. Both carry the lysozyme theme from the supplements into products used on the skin or in the mouth. On enzymes in general, the company makes broad health claims: that they improve circulation, help reduce pain and swelling, and act as a natural anti-ageing agent [8]. These are statements by the company itself. Innovital also says it manufactures in Germany using selected raw materials [8]. The company sells directly through its own online shop, which offers delivery across Europe. It also runs a separate registration for retailers and healthcare professionals, with a dedicated returns arrangement for doctors and pharmacists [1]. In Switzerland, sales go through a distribution partner operating under the innova-vital.ch address. ## Science & innovation Research is a recurring theme in how Innovital describes itself. The company says it works closely with several research institutions, first among them the MEF enzyme research association. That association is itself led by Hellmut Münch, and the company's consultation service uses an email address on the association's domain. The research partner is therefore closely tied to the company rather than independent of it. Beyond MEF, Innovital names two examples of the national and international clinics and universities it says it works with: a Cape Town clinic it spells "Grote Schuur" and the Mayo Clinic in Rochester [2]. The company does not describe the nature or scope of these collaborations, and no confirmation from the institutions themselves is documented. The company also publishes educational material on its website. A section titled "Wissenswertes" ("worth knowing") carries short articles on enzymes, lysozyme, antioxidants, dietary fats, vitamins A, D3, E and K, and acid-base balance. A literature page and an editorial section called Vital Magazin sit alongside it. ## Current status Innovital is an active company. Its website carries a 2026 copyright notice and an operating online shop, and its events page lists a programme of free public lectures for 2026 [4]. These included an online talk on the gut and the immune system by Dr. Uwe Peters in July 2026 and a place among the exhibitors at a health day at the Hans-Peter Porsche Traumwerk on 1 November 2026. As of October 2026, an online lecture by Hellmut Münch on vitamin emulsions was scheduled for 9 November 2026. No parent company is documented. The brand also maintains accounts on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. ## Timeline {#belagg-timeline} | Year | Event | Source | |---|---|---| | 2001 | Hellmut Münch (later InnovaVital founder) takes over leadership of the Medizinische Enzymforschungsgesellschaft (MEF e.V.) from his mentor Karl Ransberger | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2004 | InnovaVital GmbH entered in the commercial register (registered seat then Marquartstein; share capital EUR 25,000) [Tier 4, register aggregator] | https://www.northdata.de/InnovaVital+GmbH,+Grassau | | 2005 | Launch of innovazym® enzyme combination (innovazym PLUS®) | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2009 | Company moves into its own building | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2011 | Launch of innovabalance® mineral and trace-element blend for acid-base balance | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2012 | Launch of innovamulsin® vitamin A and vitamin D3 emulsions | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2013 | Launch of innovazym® PUR (enzymes with vitamin C and zinc) | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2014 | Launch of innovabalance® Kautaler (chewable, no added sugar) | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2016 | Launch of innovazym® CA (papain, trypsin, chymotrypsin with selenium) | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2018 | Launch of innovaimmun® C (acerola, vitamin C, zinc) and innovamulsin® E + Selen and D3 + K2 | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2019 | Launch of innovaspray® IMMUN mouth and throat spray with lysozyme | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2020 | Launch of innovazym® LOCAL skin cream for dry and stressed skin | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | | 2022 | Launch of innovazym® DENT dental-care chewing gum with lysozyme and xylitol | https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ | ## Signature products {#belagg-products} - **innovazym®** — 2005 innovazym® Eine moderne Kombination aus Enzymen, Vitalstoffen, Vitaminen, Bioflavonoiden, Q 10 und Omega-3-Fettsäuren (Innovazym PLUS®) für die Stärkung des Immunsystems und bei entzündlichen Erkrankungen. — https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ - **innovamulsin®** — „innovamulsin®“, speziell hochdosierte Vitamin Emulsionen, die lymphatisch resorbiert werden und so die höchste Quote an Bioverfügbarkeit besitzen — https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ - **innovabalance®** — 2011 innovabalance® Eine Vitalstoffmischung (Mineralstoffe und Spurenelemente) für mehr Balance im Säure-Basen-Haushalt. — https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ - **innovaspray® IMMUN** — 2019 innovaspray® IMMUN Mund- und Rachenspray mit bioaktiven Vitaminen, Mineralstoffen und dem körpereigenen Lysozym — https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ - **innovazym® LOCAL Hautcreme** — 2020 innovazym® LOCAL Für trockene und beanspruchte Haut — https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ ## Key ingredients {#belagg-ingredients} Lysozyme · Papain · Bromelain · Trypsin · Chymotrypsin Source: https://www.innova-vital.de/gr/de/innovavital-gmbh/ ## Sources 1.
