Foundation for Micronutrients Prevention, Health, Quality of life
“People do not become ill because their bodies lack medication, but because biochemical disturbances occur that are not recognised and corrected in time.”
Research and teaching in micronutrient therapy
In 2013, Prof. Dr. Elmar Wienecke established the foundation as a non-profit limited company. Its aims are research and teaching in micronutrient diagnostics and therapy — both of which were successfully put into practice within a short time.
-
Teaching
A sound understanding of micronutrients and how they work belongs in the education of doctors, dentists, pharmacists, therapists and nutrition specialists. This led to the first master’s degree in Micronutrient Therapy and Regulatory Medicine, developed with FHM Bielefeld.
-
Research
The foundation conducts scientific studies and projects, supports publications and analyses case reports, including evidence-based retrospective intervention studies.
-
Publications and studies
An objective of the foundation is to support an endowed professorship with a wide range of research responsibilities in exercise and micronutrient therapy.
-
Prevention
Micronutrient therapy is to become firmly established in an ageing population, taking account of age, sex, lifestyle and pre-existing conditions.
Germany’s first master’s degree in micronutrient therapy
Since 2017, the part-time degree programme at the Fachhochschule des Mittelstands (FHM) in Bielefeld has trained professionals in micronutrient therapy and regulatory medicine.

Longevity of dental implants
The study reported reduced inflammation and prevention of peri-implantitis in 50% of participants with elevated aMMP-8 levels following individualised micronutrient intake.

Why analyse blood inside the cells?
In 508 participants, serum levels were almost always within the reference range, whereas blood cell levels showed substantial deficiencies.

Performance improvements and injury prevention
Professional athletes receiving a personal micronutrient formulation showed a 30% improvement in performance and substantially fewer injury-related absences in the reported research.

From the case reports
“Incredible — after only six weeks, I had much less pain, felt more energetic, was no longer tired and could concentrate and move much better.”
