Soria Natural

The Origins of Soria Natural

Soria Natural is a leading Spanish company in the natural dietetics sector, founded in 1982 when the field of natural medicine and phytotherapy were still unknown to most of the population.

The founder was Antonio Esteban, a renowned expert about the benefits of medicinal plants. As an industrial training expert, he put his body and soul in Soria Natural as an alternative means of income, after suffering the consequences of the severe economic crisis of the time. It all began with a very simple process, packaging medicinal herbs, although he knew that in order to develop his business he would have to improve the procedures and make them more sophisticated. Therefore, he set up a small factory to collect and process medicinal herbs which has become a referent laboratory in the field of Natural Medicine.

His success was due to a number of factors: an exhaustive quality control, a meticulous research plan, development and innovation, as well as the camaraderie that exists among all the professionals that work there.

Soria Natural has more than 20 natural supplement lines and over 700 references, providing an wide range of products to meet the requirements of all their customers. The company offers natural remedies that meet the most demanding quality standards and that are available in many different formats, from teas to capsules, liquid extracts, tablets or phials with a patented absorption system.

One of the strengths of Soria Natural is its large network of points of sale, distributed all over the peninsula. You can also find their products in more than 3500 retail stores. The company has also established itself at the international level and has 5 of its own branches in the USA, Portugal, Germany, Morocco and Mexico and it is currently present in twenty-eight countries through commercial distributors.

Soria Natural even has its own mobile App where you can find information about medicinal plants and view images, descriptions, active principles, main properties and so on. They also have a Youtube Channel where you can find healthy recipes and advice about nutrition.

We also feel like we should mention their Botanical Garden, opened by her Majesty Queen Sofia on May 12, 2009 on the occasion of her visit to the Soria Natural facilities. This garden has an area of 3000 m2 and comprises hundreds of samples of their medicinal herbs so that visitors can learn about the therapeutic benefits of each one of them.

Ecological Agriculture

The company's crops are located on a surface area of  380 hectares, all certified as ecological. There are 70 species of plants growing close to the source of the Douro River in a clean environment. The crops are fed by rainwater and from a spring, by means of an innovative system of sustainable irrigation and an organic vegetable-based fertiliser. Soria Natural products are certified by the Castilla and Leon Organic Farming Council (CAECYL), in accordance with EU regulations, meeting all necessary criteria required by the ecological quality seal.

Soria Natural = Guaranteed quality

The manufacturing process is carried out in facilities with the most innovative controlled atmospheric and temperature conditions which, together with the meticulous work done in the laboratory and quality control department, guarantees the quality of each of the brand's products. Quality control is done in three phases: raw ingredients, product processing and finished product.

All Soria Natural products undergo a number of processes to analyze and quantify the active ingredients, pesticides, heavy metals, microbiological aspects, radioactivity etc. Their quality management system is in accordance with ISO 9001, which is awarded by the Spanish Association for Standardization and Certification (AENOR), while their environmental management system is based on European standard ISO14001: 2004, created by the International Committee for the Organisation of Technical Standardisation (ISO) and ratified by the European Committee for Standardization.
