Avemar is a mixture of molecules with a standardized composition derived from chemically modified natural materials. The main component is wheat germ, from which several different substances are extracted. These substances are then altered chemically, through the use of enzymatic and microorganism-derived processes, or by means of fermentational and bio-technological transformation, all in conformation to the quality standards set out for pharmaceutical production (GMP, ISO 9001:2000). After their concentration, the active ingredients are extracted using various physicochemical processes and then molecularly encapsulated and formulated.
