Avemar as a supportive therapy in cancer
An extract of fermented wheat germ, Avemar, was developed during the 1990s by Hungarian biochemist Mate Hidvegi, Ph.D. Initially, Avemar was available as an over-the-counter dietary supplement, but in 2002 the product was registered as a medical nutriment with an indication for use in cancer treatment by the Hungarian National Institute of Food Safety and Nutrition.
