Our story

Goodwill Pharma was founded in 1997 as a 100% Hungarian company. As a couple of doctors from Szeged, we decided to support the health of those in need by developing and distributing high-quality, therapeutic products. The word goodwill in our company’s name has multiple meanings: it represents good health, good will, and also value, in the spirit of which we act. Over the years, we have built a reputation among professionals and customers alike, and Goodwill Pharma is seen as a brand of excellence.

We started small at the beginning, but every year the number of products that help with today’s most common health problems has grown. Our priority is to create value at home. The company is built and developed in Szeged, where it started its international journey. Today we distribute our products through our subsidiaries in many countries.

Not content with the good, we work for the best solutions

We carefully select and create formulations that are the best solution to the problem or are in some way superior to those already on the market. The Goodwill logo can only be applied to high quality and carefully selected products.

Goodwill puts people, the patient, first, so we are constantly looking at what products are needed. It is important to provide complex solutions, so in addition to the distribution of medicines, we are also developing dietary supplements and foods for special medical purposes.

The Szent-Györgyi heritage

Anyone who has ever studied or lived in Szeged knows what the name of Albert Szent-Györgyi means to us, the people of Szeged. The most important thing for us is the example he set for science, life and his fellow human beings. His spirituality, his scientific vision, created a school that is still relevant today. In 1937 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Medicine and Physiology for his research on vitamin C. We are extremely proud to be able to market vitamin C products bearing the name of Albert Szent-Györgyi. Caring for this legacy further strengthens our drive for excellence and its forward-looking messages are a constant motivation for us.

With Marcia Szent-Györgyi at the Medical Award ceremony

On the 20th anniversary of the founding of Goodwill Pharma, we established the Goodwill Pharma for Health Foundation, which created the Szent-Györgyi Albert Medical Award. The Foundation recognises the work of doctors whose professionalism, dedication and humanity deserve to be acknowledged by society. The first award ceremony was honoured by a personal appearance by the Professor’s widow, Marcia Szent-Györgyi, with whom we still maintain a friendly relationship. The Szent-Györgyi Albert Medical Award is an opportunity for all Hungarian citizens to express their respect and gratitude for the dedicated work of the medical profession.

Important milestone in our life – we opened a new production plant

At the end of 2020, 8 months of hard work resulted in the opening of a new production plant at our headquarters in Cserzy Mihály Street. Brand new mixing, encapsulating and tableting machines were put into operation, thus multiplying our previous production capacity.

The new investment is an important milestone in the life of Goodwill Pharma, as it will make the company stronger. It will provide a livelihood for many families, which is particularly important in an unpredictable economic climate like the current one..

Goodwill Pharma employees are inspired every day by the philosophy of our Nobel Prize-winning scientist Albert Szent-Györgyi. We work to provide innovative solutions to maintain health. Our primary goal is to improve the health and quality of life of children, adults and the elderly through our products..

We are proud of our proprietary products

Many successful products have been developed based on the ideas and research of Hungarian doctors. We are particularly proud of our Makula Complex product, which was developed based on the AREDS2 study for people with age-related macular degeneration. The product was awarded an Innovation Award in November 2020.

Our latest development is the Wiloxon iodine-free dietary supplement capsule, created to support thyroid and immune health.

Nephroxon capsules are also a vitamin product with a unique composition. It supports the specific vitamin requirements of patients diagnosed with reduced renal function or undergoing dialysis.

We have recently launched Japonica Femina, a product inspired by Japanese and Far Eastern cultures’ approach to health and life. Japonica Femina was designed to alleviate the discomforts of menopause, which are a natural part of life but unpleasant, and has been very well received by gynaecologists and, through them, by women in menopause. Another example is the Zealoxan dietary supplement, which we have tried to include in its composition everything that can help to protect the health of the supporting tissues. The prefix “zea” refers to New Zealand because one of the main ingredients is New Zealand green mussel extract, and it also contains herbs, minerals and vitamins.

Business Superbrands Award 2021

We are proud to have been recognised with a Business Superbrands award. We are grateful as this award is proof of the wide professional recognition we have received. The Superbrands programme operates in nearly 90 countries and is the largest independent awards scheme in the world. We are currently shortlisted for Business Superbrands 2021 by a panel of 20 independent experts. Award winners include both the most profitable domestic companies and smaller businesses that are recognised as business excellence.

As committed advocates of long and active lives, our main goal is to raise awareness of the importance of prevention. In this spirit, our mission is to develop and market high quality, effective products that are accessible to all. Health has become a value, and we believe that we can add value to this priceless asset by following the philosophy of our Nobel Prize-winning scientist Szent-Györgyi Albert.
