We are BōkU, “A True Family-Owned Superfood Company.” For over 10 years, we have been helping people all around the globe live healthier, more fulfilling lives. 

In a world full of toxins, pesticides, and other nasty things, it’s sometimes hard for us to recognize the toll our environment takes on our bodies. Complications such as cancer, diabetes, obesity and more have been linked directly to what we eat. Trans fats, hydrogenated this and that, chemicals we can’t even pronounce are unfortunately a large part of many people’s diets…

BōkU has set out to change that. Family is the backbone of our DNA, so caring for the greater good comes easily to us. We have made great-tasting, affordable products so everyone has an opportunity to live a better life. 

We have had opportunities to cash out on BōkU in the past, but we have always been asked to compromise. Because of this, we continue to politely refuse. We want to be aligned with people who share our passion for wellbeing, people who look out for others like family. 

We are now looking for investors who want to join our family and help us grow. We want investors who share our same values and goals. Do you want to help BōkU reach and make a positive difference for as many people as we can?

23 years ago, like so many other children, our son Reno Jr was labeled "attention deficit". In our observation, he was really just a curious boy with lots of energy but was apparently more than a handful for his teacher.

We were called in to meet with the principal of the school and much to our surprise, there was a medical doctor present as well. Without even making eye contact, he was ready to write a prescription for Ritalin. 

We are a family with a rich history of farming and natural, holistic approaches to health and wellness. We simply were not interested in subjecting our son to potentially harmful pharmaceutical drugs.  Instead, we made it our goal to find a healthier and more natural solution. 

We consulted a naturopathic doctor who strongly encouraged us to consider "superfoods". He explained that there were recent studies showing significant improvement in cognition, focus, and memory from consumption of certain algae and other plant-based foods.

We had never heard the term "superfood" before and were encouraged to learn that nature might provide the solution we were seeking after all. After a bit of research, we discovered a superfood blend from California and had it shipped to our home. Unfortunately, it smelled and tasted like fish food. We masked the flavor with juice and encouraged Reno Jr. to stick with it, by taking the superfood ourselves as well. The results were immediate and compelling as we witnessed dramatic transformation in Reno Jr and the rest of the family too. This ignited a sincere passion in all of us to learn more and share with the world. 

Since our inception in 2007, we have positively impacted tens of thousands of people and are just beginning to scratch the surface of our potential. Family forms the fabric of our company and our family grows with every new customer. 

The United States is the 10th unhealthiest country in the world and is ninth highest in obesity rate with 35% of the country being classified as dangerously overweight. 1 in 5 adults suffer from a mental health condition.

It starts at the top; there are 1 billion pounds of pesticides applied to U.S. farms every year. 70% of our diets are processed foods and there can be up to 10,000 toxic chemical additives in these processed foods. 

We’ve identified what we believe to be several habits and issues, both individual lifestyle and societal that lead to unhealthy living habits in this country:

• Poor access to quality organic food
• Adulteration of food supply/poor agricultural practices
• Uneducated consumers
• Rate of chronic disease at all time historical highs
• Obesity rates skyrocketing
• Diminished quality of life
• Conventional medicine & health management failing

When we discovered the power that our superfoods had, we immediately recognized BōkU’s ability to make a difference in people’s lives. We made it our mission to improve the quality of life in our society by helping each individual better themselves from the inside out. When you’re fueling your body with the healthiest, most natural foods, we believe you are guiding yourself towards a better existence.

Organic food sales in the U.S. totaled around $43 billion in 2016, with almost 30% in the direct-to-consumer category. This is an increase of $3.3 billion (8.4%) over prior year, marking the first time the organic food market has broken through the $40-billion mark. Following Amazon’s recent acquisition of Whole Foods, this trend is expected to continue. The $15.6-billion organic fruits and vegetables sector held onto its position as the largest of the organic food categories, accounting for almost 40 percent of all organic food sales while vegan superfood powders has grown 360% over the past decade.
