Thoughtfully crafted to support modern lifestyles Amará is the daily ritual that helps you feel grounded, focused, radiant and restored.
AMARÁ. A name of many meanings. Eternal in Sanskrit, divine in Igbo, bitter in Latin and future love in Spanish. We embrace them all. Like cacao, AMARÁ is layered and complex, balancing bitterness and earthiness with flavour, beauty and mindfulness.
The science
Cacao is naturally rich in theobromine, a compound similar to caffeine but with a smoother and long lasting release of energy supporting focus and mental clarity while promoting a calm mood. Cacao is also a natural source of magnesium, supporting relaxation without overstimulation also providing a high dose of antioxidants. Did we mention it is absolutely delicious ?
We blend our cacao with seven functional ingredients, each selected for their scientifically-supported benefits:
Lion's Mane: contains compounds that enhance cognitive function and mental clarity, supporting focus and concentration.
Tremella: provides natural polysaccharides that hydrate skin and work synergistically with cacao's antioxidants to support skin health and collagen formation.
Reishi: traditionally used to reduce stress and promote relaxation, helps support hormonal balance and regulate the immune system.
Chaga: rich in antioxidants and beta-glucans, supporting immune function and overall vitality.
Ashwagandha: helps manage stress response and supports emotional resilience.
Maca: nutrient-dense, providing energy and supporting hormonal balance.
Amaranth: provides complete plant-based protein and essential minerals for sustained nourishment.
Himalayan Salt: replenishes lost electrolytes, and support nerve and muscle function.
Pure vanilla powder: for a delicious touch.
What makes AMARÁ different
What sets us apart
This superblend features 8 active ingredients -including the raw cacao- working together to support overall wellness. Our functional ingredients are tried and tested and help reduce stress, improve collagen production, strengthen immune function, and promote calm and resilience.
We've deliberately kept the formula simple, natural and transparent. There are no artificial sweeteners or trendy alternative powders where the claims and long-term evidence are still unclear. No fillers or emulsifiers, no mass produced extremely processed cocoa powder.
Every ingredient has been chosen for its quality, purpose and heritage, with almost all been used in TCM (Traditional Chinese Medicine) and Mayan-Aztec tradition for centuries.
An adaptogen rich formula
What's an adaptogen?
Adaptogens are plant compounds that help your nervous system respond to stress more efficiently bringing your body back to balance working bidirectionally: your body uses what it needs. We have added not only one but a combination of adaptogens like functional mushrooms, ashwaghanda and maca to enhance each other's beneficial powers.
The ingredient quality and amounts
Premium ingredients only work if dosed effectively. We use clinically-relevant amounts so you can genuinely experience the benefits. Our mushrooms blend is 100% organic, dual-extracted, fruiting bodies only and third party tested.
High in plant powered protein
Along with functional mushrooms and adaptogens our blend includes amaranth a delicious pseudocereal and a plant-based protein powerhouse! With a whooping 14 grams of protein per 100 grams. Unlike most plant protein sources amaranth is a complete protein with a balanced composition of all nine essential amino acids, which are needed in sufficient amounts to build muscle, hormones, neurotransmitters and immune-supporting antibodies.
What makes AMARÁ special
The care we put into sourcing our ingredients. The organic cacao, amaranth and vanilla are sourced from Mexico, with Sofía working directly with producers that care about what they grow and about the environment choosing only the best quality ingredients. These are combined with high-potency adaptogenic mushrooms sourced through a trusted ethnobotanist in New Zealand, ashgawhanda from India, organic maca from Peru and Himalayan salt.
What does AMARÁ taste like
The best part about this adaptogenic blend is that it tastes like proper indulgence. Rich, chocolatey, creamy and satisfying with a touch of earthiness from the mushrooms, notes of malt from the maca and the subtlety of real vanilla.
The fact that it includes ingredients that help you feel grounded, focused, radiant and restored is just a bonus.
Because taking care of yourself doesn't have to be complicated.
