Functional Future (also known as FuFu) is a supplement and functional food company based in Herlev, Denmark.[1] Founded in 2017, the company produces organic and biodynamic food supplements. The company reports using both traditional food processing methods and modern food technology. [2]

History

Functional Future was founded in 2017 under the name ØkoLyst by childhood friends Thomas Håkansson and Frederik Schröder.[1] The founders started the company with the goal to produce healthy, high-quality products using raw materials with high transparency and sustainability. The first product, a ginger shot, was developed after Håkansson’s search for an effective, sugar-free alternative.

Encouraged by early demand, Functional Future added organ-based supplements, collagen powders, and bone broth to its product range. The company operates its facility in Ellekær, Herlev, just outside of Copenhagen. In 2023, Functional Future was featured by Herlev Municipality as “Green Case Company of the Month” for its sustainable and upcycled production model.[2]

Business approach

According to company materials and municipal reporting, Functional Future emphasizes transparency and sustainability in its sourcing and production practices. The company reports using minimal processing methods in an effort to retain nutritional characteristics of raw ingredients.

Organic and biodynamic sourcing

The majority of the raw materials used come from farms in the Nordic region as well as a few carefully chosen foreign collectives. Each of these collectives promotes animal welfare, biodiversity, and soil regeneration. The ingredients are sourced from biodynamic farms that use regenerative soil management techniques and organic farms that do not use artificial fertilizers and pesticides.

Production ethics and sustainability

To preserve nutrient integrity and minimize waste, the company uses minimal processing techniques like freeze-drying and low-pressure extraction. The company uses biodegradable and recyclable packaging materials, and a large share of its production is powered by Nordic biogas plants. The company reports using circular production practices, including the reuse of secondary raw materials, such as bones and organs that would otherwise be discarded.

Transparency and scientific validation

In order to optimize drying and extraction techniques for repurposed food supplements, the company has worked with the Danish Technological Institute on research initiatives. The Innovation Fund of Denmark provided co-financing for these initiatives as part of the INNObooster program, which promotes technologically advanced and sustainable food technologies. [3] All goods are certified non-GMO, gluten-free, and do not contain artificial ingredients and preservatives. Functional Future follows Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) standards.

Recognition and certifications

Functional Future has been recognized for its focus on these practices in the food sector. In 2023, the company was featured by Herlev Municipality as the "Green Case Company of the Month," highlighting its environmentally conscious production and commitment to using upcycled materials.[2]

In order to comply with rules and standards, Functional Future's manufacturing and quality systems are certified and routinely audited by national and international organizations. The Danish organic control system (DK-ØKO-100) and EU Regulation (EU) 2018/848 certify the facilities and product lines as organic. The company's biodynamic goods have earned the Demeter accreditation, which attests to their adherence to biodynamic production and processing guidelines.

Product range

The product line includes supplements derived from bones and collagen-derived, nutrient-dense organ blends, and biodynamic ginger and turmeric shots, using both animal- and plant-based ingredients. Production methods are selected to suit each formulation and typically involve gentle temperature control, freeze-drying, or low-pressure extraction to preserve vitamins, minerals, and other bioactive compounds.

Nordic bone broth with hyaluronic acid

Available in both organic and biodynamic varieties, this liquid bone broth is produced from free-range, grass-fed Nordic cattle. The collagen and hyaluronic acid are carefully preserved as the bones are slow-cooked under regulated temperature and pressure. The broth reuses raw materials that would otherwise be discarded.[2]

Nordic bone broth collagen with hyaluronic acid

A powdered version of the liquid bone broth, produced through optimized drying methods that were developed with the Danish Technological Institute.[3] The product is certified organic and tested for heavy metals and contains bovine collagen types I–III, hyaluronic acid, and protein.

Biodynamic ginger and turmeric shots

Ginger and turmeric shots are made from freshly pressed roots sourced from a biodynamic farming collective in Peru paired with lemon juice in Sicily. The base of the shots is chamomile tea, which makes them free of added sugar and alternative sweetener. Additionally, the product is also free of added preservatives and flavoring and holds Demeter certification. [2]

Organic organ matrix

A capsule supplement made from freeze-dried beef organs from organic, grass-fed Nordic cattle. The blend includes liver, heart, kidney, spleen, pancreas, and lung. The product is certified organic, GMP tested, and additive-free.

Organic Beef Liver

Capsules contain freeze-dried organic beef liver from grass-fed Nordic cattle, rich in vitamins A and B12 and minerals such as copper and riboflavin. The product also supports the company’s nose-to-tail approach and sustainable resource use.

Organic Calcium Bone Matrix

A calcium supplement derived from organic bone material from Nordic cattle, retains calcium in its hydroxyapatite form, which enables easy absorption. It also has trace minerals such as magnesium, zinc, and boron. [3]
