Introducing Havdis

A marine biotech company, built around one molecule.

Havdis produces high-value bioactive ingredients from the Norwegian seafood industry. Our core product is PDRN, derived from Atlantic cod — transformed by biotechnology into a high-purity ingredient, with 100% of premium production carrying the “Made in Norway” certification.

“To create more value for our customers and save lives by building a new, traceable source of marine PDRN.”

Why Havdis PDRN — a different source, not a substitute

01A different sourceCosmetic-grade PDRN from the milt of wild-caught Atlantic cod — spermatozoa, not organ tissue, on the same side of the line as trout and salmon milt.
02The raw materialHand-sourced from MSC-certified Northeast Arctic cod landed at Senja. 27 years of mercury monitoring puts the stock eight times below the EU limit.
03A traceable supply chainWe know which vessel caught the fish, where it landed, and when it entered production in Tromsø. From fishery to finished ingredient, nothing leaves Norway.

Closing the loop

A supply chain built on transparency.

Our operations run between the mountains of Tromsø and Senja. We know which vessel caught the fish, which route it took, where it landed and how it was processed — before it is sent directly to our production in Tromsø.

It is how cod milt becomes Arctic PDRN95c: a refined ingredient with a documented origin from vessel to finished ingredient.

The raw material

“Mercury in Northeast Arctic cod has measured 0.022–0.037 mg/kg across 27 years — the stock would need to be eight times more contaminated to reach the EU limit.”

“When we, the founders of Havdis, first learned how much valuable material from our seafood industry is never fully utilised, we saw an untapped opportunity. We believe innovation should create value for everyone involved — for patients, for our partners, for the seafood industry and most of all for society.”
