THE FOUNDER
Dr. Jón Bragi Bjarnason (1948-2011) started his research
on biological catalysts in 1978 and dedicated his professional
career studying the cold-loving trypsin ensymes from the
North Atlantic. He founded Zymetech In 1999, a knowledge
based biotechnology company in the forefront of marine
enzyme research and development. Dr. Bjarnason was for de cades­
among the world’s leading enzyme scientists and was awarded a
variety of prizes and recognition for his research and discoveries in
the field of biological catalysts. His belief in the quality and value of
PENZIM was all the time unshakeable as it was supported by a large
number of scientific studies, clinical studies and the evidence of
innumerable satisfied users in Iceland and Worldwide.

Bragi Bjarnason, Doctor in biochemistry and Professor at the University of
Iceland, in an interview a few years ago. His life was devoted to research
on enzymes for almost 35 years and he focused specifically on enzymes
from cod and on the effects of these enzymes on human skin, joints and
muscles.
PENZIM contains cleansed digestive enzymes from the Icelandic cod
which Jón Bragi named Penzyme ®, an abbreviation for “penetrating
enzymes” or deep action enzymes. They are particularly potent biological
catalysts which appear to be active in all layers of skin. PENZIM is also
used to good effect for muscles and joints, in the throat and in the mouth
and in fact anywhere considered suitable for the use of biological catalysts
to help the body regenerate and repair. PENZIM is a pure natural product,
nourishing, disinfecting, healing and moisturising. It contains no synthetic
substances, no preservatives, no odorants, no colorants no fats or grease,
no substances from genetically modified organisms. Nothing that is likely
to cause allergic reactions. PENZIM is good for people of all ages. It is

of those found in the North Atlantic cod are few and far between, from
zoological or botanical sources alike.
