What is EMPWR+?
EMPWR+ is a cognitive functional superfood formulated to support brain performance, cellular health, and longevity using whole-food ingredients.
What makes EMPWR+ different from other supplements?
Our farm-to-body philosophy makes EMPWR+ stand out amongst other traditional supplements. While other supplements and greens powders use ingredients shipped in from all over the world, EMPWR+ is made with ingredients from local farms within 50 miles of our processing facility. This greatly reduces the amount of time between when the ingredients are actually growing, and when they are dried and put into bottles for customers. This has reduced our carbon emissions by 93% compared to companies that ship in powder from China like industry standard.
Also, other greens powders and supplements can have 70+ ingredients, which means that each serving only has a miniscule amount of each ingredient. EMPWR+ only has 3 superfood ingredients, meaning that every scoop has a full functional dose of each.
What are the benefits of EMPWR+?
EMPWR+ is designed to support cellular defense & detox, inflammation, gut health, memory + focus, and longevity.
After 30 days of usage, we found that 95% of surveyed customers had increased daily energy, 90% felt an increase in mental clarity/focus, 90% felt an improvement in mood, and 80% felt improved digestion and reduced bloating.
What are the ingredients in EMPWR+?
EMPWR+ only has 3 ingredients, all locally grown from farms in San Diego County. They are Broccoli Microgreens, Broccoli Sprouts, and Lion's Mane Mushrooms.
What makes EMPWR+ a "Farm-to-Body" product?
We call EMPWR+ "farm-to-body" because we source our ingredients directly from the farmers. Unlike traditional supplements that source their ingredients from all over the world with no attachment to the soil, we pride ourselves in partnering with farms within 50 miles of our manufacturing facility.
What this means is that the same day the farmer harvests the broccoli sprouts and microgreens, we are able to begin the freeze drying process. This minimizes the amount of time ingredients are in transport, and ensures that EMPWR+ is filled with the freshest powder possible.
Is EMPWR+ third-party lab tested?
Yes! EMPWR+ has been tested for heavy metals, and each batch is third-party tested to make sure there is no contamination. The ingredients themselves are also tested for microbial contamination.
How long does it take to feel the effects of EMPWR+?
Customers report feeling the effects of EMPWR+ after just 7 days, including increased sustained energy, improved mood, better focus & clarity, and improved general wellbeing. The broccoli microgreens & sprouts take longer to build in the body, but the cognitive effects of the lion's mane can be felt the same day you take EMPWR+.
Is EMPWR+ a daily supplement or something taken occasionally?
EMPWR+ is designed to be taken daily. Consistency is key, as many of its benefits come from cumulative cellular support over time, not just immediate effects.

What are the key ingredients in EMPWR+?
EMPWR+ is made of 3 ingredients: organic broccoli sprouts, broccoli microgreens, and organic lion's mane mushrooms. No additives, fillers, or junk.
Why does EMPWR+ use broccoli microgreens and sprouts instead of mature broccoli?
Broccoli microgreens and sprouts contain significantly higher concentrations of glucoraphanin, the precursor to sulforaphane, making them a more potent and efficient source. Broccoli microgreens and broccoli sprouts are up to 100x more nutrient dense than mature broccoli, making every scoop of EMPWR+ the nutrient equivalent of over a pound of broccoli.
What is sulforaphane and why is it important?
Sulforaphane is a powerful plant compound known for activating the body’s natural detoxification and antioxidant pathways, helping protect cells from damage.
How does Lion’s Mane mushroom support the brain?
Lion’s Mane contains compounds that may stimulate nerve growth factor (NGF), which plays a key role in maintaining and regenerating neurons.
Are the ingredients in EMPWR+ organic?
Our broccoli sprouts are organic certified, the lion's mane mushrooms are regenerative organic certified.
Our broccoli microgreens are grown organically without chemicals or pesticides from a local regenerative farm, but are not organic certified.
How are the ingredients sourced?
All of our ingredients are sourced from trusted local farms within 50 miles of our manufacturing facility. This means that the same day the greens are harvested, we are able to freeze dry them to make EMPWR+. Our growers and partners who prioritize quality, transparency, and nutrient density. 2 of our farms are regenerative, making their carbon footprint incredibly low and soil nutrient-rich.
Does freeze-drying affect the potency of the ingredients?
Freeze-drying is one of the best drying methods to preserve delicate bioactive compounds, maintaining potency while extending shelf life without the need for additives.

Are the ingredients in EMPWR+ scientifically backed?
Yes. The ingredients in EMPWR+ are supported by a growing body of scientific research, particularly around sulforaphane, functional mushrooms, and plant-based bioactives.
What does “longevity” mean in the context of nutrition?
Longevity in nutrition refers to supporting the body’s ability to function optimally over time, not just extending lifespan, but preserving healthspan, or the number of years you feel and perform at a high level. This includes maintaining cognitive clarity, metabolic health, energy, and resilience as you age. Rather than reacting to symptoms later in life, longevity-focused nutrition emphasizes daily inputs that protect and support your biology at the cellular level. Preserving your healthspan allows you to maintain your independence and freedom, even as you age.
How does EMPWR+ support long-term health and aging?
EMPWR+ is formulated to target foundational biological processes associated with aging, including oxidative stress, inflammation, and cellular defense mechanisms. Compounds like sulforaphane help activate internal detoxification and antioxidant pathways, while functional mushrooms support neurological health. Taken consistently, these ingredients work to reinforce the body’s natural ability to maintain balance and resilience over time, rather than providing short-term stimulation.tied to aging.
What role does inflammation play in aging?
While acute inflammation is a natural and necessary response, chronic low-grade inflammation, often referred to as “inflammaging”, is associated with many age-related conditions. Over time, this persistent inflammatory state can impact everything from cognitive function to metabolic health. Supporting a healthy inflammatory response through nutrition is one of the most effective ways to promote long-term wellness and reduce biological wear and tear.
How does sulforaphane impact cellular health?
Sulforaphane is known for activating the Nrf2 pathway, a key regulator of the body’s antioxidant and detoxification systems. When this pathway is activated, the body increases production of protective enzymes that help neutralize oxidative stress and support cellular repair. This makes sulforaphane particularly relevant for longevity, as it helps the body adapt to and defend against environmental and internal stressors.
Can nutrition really influence cognitive decline over time?
Yes. Cognitive health is deeply influenced by long-term dietary patterns. Nutrients and bioactive compounds can affect inflammation, oxidative stress, blood flow, and neuroplasticity, all of which play a role in how the brain ages. A consistent intake of supportive compounds can help maintain mental clarity, memory, and overall brain resilience over time.
What is oxidative stress and why does it matter?
Oxidative stress occurs when there’s an imbalance between free radicals and the body’s ability to neutralize them with antioxidants. Over time, this imbalance can damage cells, proteins, and DNA, contributing to aging and various chronic conditions. Managing oxidative stress through nutrition is essential for preserving cellular integrity and supporting long-term health.
How does gut health connect to longevity?
The gut plays a central role in regulating inflammation, immune function, and even brain health through the gut-brain axis. A well-balanced gut microbiome supports nutrient absorption and produces beneficial compounds that influence systemic health. Disruptions in gut health can accelerate inflammation and impact multiple systems, making it a critical component of any longevity-focused approach.
Are there daily habits that enhance the effects of EMPWR+?
Yes. While nutrition is foundational, longevity is driven by a combination of daily behaviors. Prioritizing sleep, regular movement, stress management, hydration, and a nutrient-dense diet can significantly amplify the benefits of EMPWR+. These habits work synergistically to support the same biological pathways targeted by functional nutrition.
At what age should someone start thinking about longevity?
Longevity is not something to think about later in life, it’s built through consistent habits over time. Supporting your body early helps establish a strong foundation and may reduce the risk of decline later on. That said, it’s never too late to begin, as the body is continually adapting and capable of positive change.
Is longevity about living longer, or living better?
While extending lifespan is a goal, the primary focus is on improving quality of life throughout those years. Longevity is about maintaining energy, clarity, mobility, and independence. It's not just adding years, but ensuring those years are lived fully.
