Orthomolecular Medicine
Stay Healthy

Prevention and therapy come together at the BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat, your health retreat in Carinthia, Austria. Our approach is holistic, combining conventional medicine with elements of modern complementary medicine. One connecting element is orthomolecular medicine.
A Definition
What Is Orthomolecular Medicine?
Orthomolecular medicine focuses on the targeted use of vitamins, minerals, trace elements, enzymes, amino acids and fatty acids — in some cases in higher doses.
By supplementing these naturally occurring substances through nutritional supplements or infusions, their concentration in the body can be increased to support the treatment and prevention of disease.
Orthomolecular Medicine at BLEIB BERG
Sensitive guidance and precise diagnostics form the foundation of your stay with us in Bad Bleiberg. From comprehensive blood analysis to performance diagnostics and hormonal evaluation, the BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat offers a full spectrum of medical assessment to understand what your body truly needs.
Based on your individual requirements, our experienced medical team develops a personalised treatment plan. As part of our orthomolecular recommendations, we use targeted nutritional supplementation and carefully selected infusions to support your recovery and overall wellbeing.
“In many cases, we first need to prepare the terrain before an effective therapy can begin. Orthomolecular therapy often enables the body to reach a state in which self-regeneration becomes possible — and this is, without doubt, one of the highest aims in the art of healing.”
Harald Stossier, Medical Consultant at the BLEIB BERG F.X. Mayr Retreat
Your Best Possible Care
Even though a healthy diet should, in theory, provide sufficient micronutrients, reality often tells a different story.
A balanced way of eating remains a central pillar of a healthy lifestyle. Yet certain factors can contribute to deficiencies: changes in dietary habits, developments in food production and an increased need for nutrients due to a demanding daily life. These influences are also reflected in the Austrian Nutrition Report, which shows recurring gaps in micronutrient supply.
Applications of Orthomolecular Medicine
Orthomolecular medicine can offer support in various situations, including:
- Ensuring an adequate supply of antioxidants
- Supporting hormonal regulation
- Addressing chronic inflammatory conditions
- Meeting increased nutrient demands during specific life phases, such as pregnancy, medication use, stress or high-performance trainingining
