About us

An absolute forerunner in the use of lipoic acid with TIOBEC®, the company made important investments over the years that led to the launch of the brands TROCÀ®, PINEAL NOTTE®, BLUNORM®, TROCÀ FLU®, SINOPOL®, ARTROSULFUR®, TENDISULFUR®, KISTINOX which still represent the company’s flagship products and are also key products on the market.

Since 2015 LABOREST has joined the Uriach international group, one of the oldest pharmaceutical companies in Europe, whilst still preserving its own identity

LABOREST is now one of the top ten companies in the Nutraceutical market in Italy, thanks to its two medical-scientific information departments with over 150 scientific representatives, who are able to cover the entire country every day and are in contact with almost all doctors in the target areas.  Its development plan includes the launch of a new Consumer Health business line, in addition to the historic Medical Healthcare division, thus expanding the range of Laborest products and making the company increasingly stand out in the nutraceutical market.
