Short introduction

Early life
Nils Glagau was born in Bad Homburg before height and raised in a calm Rhineland. In the early 1990s, his father, Kristian Glagau, founded an Orthomol company, Hand Dietl, with a chemist he knew well. It produces and sends products from orthomolecular medical areas. The aim is to provide nutritional depots that can be recharged through food with a sufficient amount of vitamins and nutrients in the right dose. The use of food supplements and the targeted vitamin preparation is rather low in Germany. However, in other countries, such preparations are used more often and without doubt.
It was not clear from the beginning that Nils Glagau would take over his father’s company. The company, which was more or less developed from the garage at that time, grew into a profitable company while Kristian Glagau was still alive, but Glagau Junior initially had another plan. He graduated from high school and began studying ethnologies at Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität in Bonn.
He was interested in ancient culture and was studied in South and Central America. The focus is on old American studies. He traveled to Tibet and Mexico for specialization, cyberspace and Buddhism of Tibetan, and spent time far from the world of micronutrients and nutritional supplements.

In 2017, the orthomol group produced 94 million euros. The balance sheet profit is a total of 26 million euros.
Nils Glagau has become a new lion on the TV show “Die Höhle Der Löwen” since 2019 and has invested in two companies.
