We have just returned from exhibiting at the esoteric Biohacking Summit in Helsinki. But what exactly is biohacking?
Self-categorized Biohackers aim to optimize their health by utilizing technology supplements and manipulating their environment. Biohackers go to great lengths to simulate a natural biology in an unnatural world. Utilizing tracking devices, hyperbaric oxygen therapy, infrared light therapy, heat and cold therapy, as well as fasting and ketogenic diets, they believe they can reverse the aging clock, increase their longevity and perform physically and mentally at their best.
Well, we met the pioneers in Scandinavian biohacking: Teemu Arina and Olli Solivari. Futurists, artists and scientists are magnetized to the biohacking movement which holistically synergies science with nature, supplements with healthy food and spirituality with technology. It’s a fusion of ancient wisdom and the latest technology with the singular aim of optimizing health.
Why were we at such an esoteric event? Well, Virun’s founders and scientists are at the forefront of supplement technologies and we thought we could learn from these biohackers, while introducing them to our lipid emulsifying and flavor capabilities.
Philip Bromley, our CEO delivered a keynote presentation on Liposomal Formulations and how the body breaks down food and absorbs nutrients.
The science backed talked was popular with the young attendees, many of whom returned to our booth to compliment Philip’s passion and scientific solidity.
Attendees flocked to taste our algae based O3Omega DHA + MCT supplements that are blended with almond butter to create a delicious flavor and texture. Our specialty is in creating delicious supplements with high bioavailability and we definitely proved this at the summit. This is a conference that we will be returning to.
