Welcome to GEM
Where food is medicine
Discover nutrient-dense, whole-food Bites formulated with a Scientific Advisory Board for foundational health and targeted support.
The big nutrient problem
Unlike our hunter-gatherer ancestors, whose diverse diets were rich in vitamins and minerals, our modern diets often lack these vital nutrients due to lifestyle changes and farming practices that can over process and deplete our nutrient sources.
Why GEM works
We use the wisdom of food as medicine to create modern solutions. Unlike synthetic pill vitamins, GEM's nutrients come from real food sources for optimal bioavailability.
The GEM Bite is co-developed with a Scientific Advisory Board of the most innovative leaders in the integrative and holistic medicine space, including neurologists, biomolecular nutritionists, registered dietitians, and more.

What's Inside
Turmeric
Curcumin is the main active ingredient in the spice turmeric — a staple in Indian cuisine for thousands of years. Curcumin is a powerful antioxidant that can help promote regularity + digestive health as well as naturally support overall skin health.
Mushroom (vitamin D2)
Research suggest that vitamin D2, found in sustainably grown fungi we source, helps your body absorb more calcium and phosphate, leading to stronger bones.
Pumpkin Seeds (zinc)
Sourced from natural trace mineral salts and pumpkin seeds, research suggest zinc can help support healthy immune function.
Black Pepper
The GEM Bite contains Bioperine, a patented extract derived from the ancient spice black pepper, which can help enhance nutrient absorption by 30%.
Beta-glucan
Beta-glucan contains prebiotic properties that can enrich beneficial bacteria in the gut.
Chickpeas (vitamin k2)
Chickpeas are one of the cleanest sources of vitamin K2, an overlooked nutrient that is essential to bone health. Vitamin K2 promotes the calcification of bones, supporting strength.
Citrus
The zest of orange and lemon can elevate the senses and provide flavonoids (a group of plant metabolites) that carry antioxidant health benefits. Additionally, these citrus fruits can help clarify your system and promote total body health.
Prebiotics
Prebiotic fibers sourced from acacia fiber, oats, and chicory root can promote digestive health which might support a healthy immune system by providing an environment where good bacteria can flourish.
Probiotics
Our probiotic bacteria strain is microencapsulated to ensure it reaches your gut safely for optimal absorption. By enriching and diversifying your gut microflora, you can help support a healthy immune system.
Quinoa (B-Complex)
We source our B-complex (B1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 12) from germinated quinoa sprouts. Unlike synthetic vitamins, these contain a multitude of organically bound and biologically active B vitamins.
Spices
Ginger and cardamom are ancient roots which can help maintain overall wellness and support brain, gut and skin health.
Stone Fruit
We believe in a food-first approach and use dried fruits like dates and apricots to support healthy immune function, digestion, and metabolism.
Sunflower Oil (vitamin E)
Known for its all-encompassing benfits, this powerful benefits, this powerful vitamin - thoughtfully sourced from sunflower oil - supports everything from healthy vision and blood to healthy brain and bones. Our vitamin E satisfies 10% of your daily value.
Golden Chlorella
The immune system and mood are intricately intertwined. Chronic stress can suppress innate immune responses, leading to a weakened immune system. Golden chlorella contains B-complex and zinc, both of which can help naturally ease the effect of stress and support the immune system.

What's Inside
Magnesium
Our magnesium includes two types of magnesium to increase bioavailability and absorption: a brain bioavailable form of magnesium L-threonate called Magtein® and dimagnesium malate. Both of these are well tolerated by the GI tract, allowing for optimal absorption and relaxation. *Magtein® is a trademark of Magceutics®, Inc. and is patent protected.
L-theanine
We use pure L-theanine powder to improve alertness and focus without the energy crash that's often associated with a cup of coffee. This calming amino acid also helps increase blood flow and provide cellular energy.

Banana
Bananas contain the mood-boosting amino acid tryptophan, as well as vitamin B6 and healthy carbohydrates. The carbohydrates within bananas can aid in tryptophan absorption in the brain while the vitamin B6 can help convert tryptophan to serotonin (essential to our mood).
Coconut
Coconut is a good source of omega-3s, calcium, manganese, magnesium, phosphorus, zinc, and vitamins B3, B1, and B6. This seed also contains healthy medium-chain fatty acids, which can support healthy brain function.
Cinnamon
Cinnamon is an excellent spice for whole body health. However, cinnamon is also essential for our gut health—compounds found naturally in cinnamon (such as cinnamaldehyde) can help promote beneficial gut bacteria while helping promote balance within the body.
Cacao
Not to be confused with cocoa, the theobroma cacao in Energy Aid is sourced from Peru, and is rich in magnesium. It also contains theobromine, a naturally occurring compound that’s been found to support cognitive function, mood, and heart health.

FAQ
Real food is our whole mission!
After years of struggling with extreme fatigue, inflammation, and digestion issues, Founder + CEO Sara Cullen discovered she was nutrient deficient despite eating the rainbow. But when she headed to the supplement aisle, she was met with temporary solutions full of synthetic ingredients and artificial sweeteners. Driven by her passion for sustainable farming and global agriculture, she focused on creating a new kind of solution, one made with the nourishing real-food nutrients our bodies intuitively know and love — to keep us feeling great and doing more of the things we love.
The vitamins that work are the ones that you remember to eat regularly. Consistency is crucial because it ensures a steady supply of essential nutrients, supporting overall health and preventing deficiencies.
You absolutely can. Only thing is… have you heard of megadosing? Long story short, when we have too much of anything, our bodies expel it quickly. If you take too many vitamins, you just end up with expensive pee. Save some money and stick with your GEM Bites.
