Bioeffect

The brand
Icelanders are fond of good stories.
BIOEFFECT started in 2001 in Reykjavik. It is the story of three scientists and a common vision: to develop clean, pure - and therefore without side effects - substances for the field of medicine.
This vision became a fixed idea for Dr. Björn Örvar and his two fellow students.
The three Icelanders knew exactly where they wanted to start their exciting scientific adventure, namely, the production of growth factors identical to those in the human body. The Epidermal Growth Factor (EGF) seemed particularly promising.
This protein has a messenger function that signals the cells to regenerate. The discovery of EGF was so revolutionary that it was awarded the Nobel Prize for Medicine.
