Our Story

CEO Welcome Message

The story of Omphoria reflects our personal quest for a supplement that would address a comprehensive spectrum of wellbeing needs. Our concept of wellbeing is grounded in the definition of World Health Organization (WHO)1, which sees it not merely as an absence of illness but as a perception of life going well. Our goal was to find a solution that would alleviate a range of issues we ourselves had, from anxiety and stress to inflammation, plus lift us towards being a better human. With this idea of a supplement we went on a quest.

Initially, we explored personalized supplements companies, but soon discovered that while their offerings were nutritionally and, to some extent, therapeutically beneficial, they lacked psychotherapeutic advantages.  Personalization was largely based on blood profiles, which had tenuous connections to mental health. By now, science has shown that for some vitamins and minerals such causal links exist (for instance the attribution of vitamin D defficiency to depressive symptoms2), however for many others rectifying for nutrient deficiencies would not lead to enhanced wellbeing. For instance, a person with low iron might experience fatigue but still feel a strong sense of wellbeing. Conversely, a perfect blood profile does not guarantee a contented life. Favorable blood, urine, and other biomarkers could even reassure a person of their wellbeing, diverting attention away from their true sense of self, relinquishing the agency over one’s own body and mind to a lab test.

We questioned: where was the holistic approach to wellbeing? Was there a supplement that would transcend biomarker data and treat individuals as more than numbers? It was this line of thought that led to the founding of Omphoria.

At Omphoria, we uphold the belief that the question 'How do you feel?' is paramount to understanding wellbeing. Our ethos revolves around the existence of an inner compass, aiding people in reestablishing trust in themselves, validating their feelings. We pose simple questions about stress levels, mental state, sleep quality, energy levels, digestion, and more, to paint a comprehensive and client-oriented picture. We select a combination of medicinal mushrooms most suitable for individual situation, harnessing the power of these centuries-trusted adaptogens that assist our bodies in reverting to a natural state of homeostasis.

Omphoria supplements do not seek to replace medical treatment, but to assist you in leading a more balanced life. Because you deserve to feel great. Because we are on a mission to revolutionize supplements with personalized blends for mental and physical wellbeing. Let the nature make you shine.
