Working with nature – from farm to pharma

The main ingredients in our products at ALK, are natural allergens, such as grass pollen and house dust mites. Each year, we grow, collect and harvest tons of these raw materials at our production facilities. Handling natural allergens requires thorough analysis, standardisation and quality control processes to ensure that biological variations do not impact the product quality. Watch the video to learn more about how we harness nature for our allergy immunotherapy products – We call it “from farm to pharma”.
