The modern industry is facing an increasingly complex challenge: the production of high-quality products, especially in the field of pharmaceutical active ingredients, requires strict adherence to standards and specifications. In a world where natural resources are limited and environmental protection is becoming increasingly important, innovative approaches are needed to meet society’s needs. One company that is successfully meeting this challenge is Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG, based in Steinhausen, Switzerland. This company is a pioneer in the production of high-quality phytopharmaceutical active ingredients and is revolutionizing the pharmaceutical industry by combining traditional plant knowledge with state-of-the-art technology.
Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG: Combining Tradition and Innovation
Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG is a company that bridges the gap between ancient healing arts and cutting-edge technology. With a focus on quality, sustainability, and environmental protection, the company goes beyond conventional business operations. In a world often dominated by chemical products, Helvezia relies on the natural power of plants. Their approach is an example of how comprehensive knowledge of medicinal plants combined with state-of-the-art technology produces innovative and highly effective products of the highest quality.
Ridvan Abay, the founder and CEO of Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG, emphasizes the importance of sustainable cultivation to ensure the high quality of products. This approach not only guarantees high-quality active ingredients but also demonstrates a deep sense of responsibility for the environment. Helvezia sets an example for the industry and offers a way to produce high-quality phytopharmaceutical active ingredients without harming the environment.
The Rising Demand for Active Ingredients from Pharmaceutically Adequate Manufacturing Processes
In pharmacy, the use of phytopharmaceutical active ingredients is becoming increasingly important. This is particularly evident at a time when it is gaining importance as a form of therapy. Europe is experiencing a growing demand for phytopharmaceuticals, such as medical cannabis. Manufacturers face the dual challenge of meeting high demand while complying with strict regulatory requirements. In many industries, digitization is being pursued as a solution to such challenges, and the cannabis industry is no exception.
The introduction of new digital technologies offers the opportunity to maximize yields in the production of phytopharmaceuticals while ensuring product quality. One particularly valuable application is the production of pharmaceutical active ingredients from medicinal plants. Here, Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG, together with its partners and consultants, sets standards.
Phytopharmaceuticals: A Prominent Example of the Combination of Tradition and Technology
Plant-based medicines such as medical cannabis are an example of how the combination of traditional knowledge of medicinal plants with cutting-edge technology produces innovative and effective products. As early as 6,000 BC, the hemp plant was used in Asia, and it has spread across Europe and North America in the past centuries. In addition to its use in textile production and other areas, hemp has long been used as a pain-relieving remedy before our era.
Today, medical cannabis is available in pharmacies in the form of formulations or finished pharmaceutical products. The pharmacologically active components of cannabis, known as cannabinoids, offer enormous therapeutic potential. Studies have shown that cannabis preparations can have anti-spasmodic, analgesic, neuroprotective, and anti-inflammatory effects. Only the cannabinoid Δ9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) has psychoactive effects.
The exact mode of action and interaction of the various components of the cannabis plant are still not sufficiently researched. The cannabinoids and their concentrations present depend on the variety of the plant and its genetic composition. Targeted breeding allows for customizing the plant’s properties to fit the intended use. The choice of genetics is crucial for producing active ingredients such as cannabidiol (CBD) without the psychoactive THC content.
Helvezia Pharma & Medical Care AG has taken on an important role in this context. By applying modern cultivation and processing strategies, which also rely on digital technologies, they ensure the production of phytopharmaceuticals for medicines and cosmetics of the highest quality. This is crucial as these are increasingly used in therapies.
