When one of our founders lived in Mexico, she discovered that there was nothing more refreshing on a hot day than a cold glass of "Agua de Jamaica" (Hibiscus Tea).  We've combined the deliciously sweet flavors of fresh raspberries with the deep tart flavors of the hibiscus flower to bring you a beverage that is both indulgent and refreshing.

HOW IT WORKS

MOOD BOOST works by naturally promoting the mood boosting chemicals in your brain and reducing the stress chemicals. We balanced 4 powerful ingredients to create the perfect Mood Boosting tonic.

OUR INGREDIENTS

5-HTP

Promotes serotonin (the happy hormone) to lift your MOOD

Sourced from the seeds of an African plant known as Griffonia, 5-HTP is a natural part of the serotonin cycle and what the brain converts into serotonin. When this natural supplement is ingested, it can promote levels of serotonin AKA the “feel good” neurotransmitter in the brain.

Our 5-HTP is Certified Organic, clinically backed and uses a water only extraction.

GABA

GABA regulates signaling and activity in the nervous system which produces a calming effect and helps reduce feelings of stress and fear.

Founders Story

Life has a way of bringing people together. And that has definitely held true for our founding team.

Banner Image

Kowa’s start came at a time when each of us were looking for something new. All of us had been working in the world of health and wellness, but the corporate grind had been taking its toll. We were drained. As the mental and emotional strains of big business increased, the fulfillment of a healthy and balanced work life seemed more and more like a distant memory. Being friends, we connected frequently on what we wanted to create for our futures and how we might accomplish those things. It didn’t take long for us to realize that we could accomplish those dreams together. We started Kowa with a vision of creating the balanced lives that we envisioned for ourselves - mentally, emotionally, and physically. And we believed that if it worked for us, then there was a good chance it would work for others too.

The moment came for each of us at different times, but eventually, we were all able to make the leap. We left our corporate jobs and dedicated ourselves to the fulfilling process of building a company that we were proud to stand behind.

Banner Image

As with most companies’ growth journeys, there are struggles and hard times along the way - and we’ve certainly had our fair share of those. But we aren’t looking back. We find fulfillment in the process of growth as individuals and as a team. And we’ve been grateful to meet customers along the way that share our passion for what we are building.

If the pressure and strain of the corporate grind was necessary for making Kowa a reality, then that’s fine by us. Afterall, diamonds are just lumps of coal that are resilient under pressure. No, we’re not diamond status yet, but we like the imagery.

Our team’s personal experiences and desires have inspired our purpose and mission at Kowa: to create indulgent and functional products that help the human body achieve balance - mentally, emotionally, and physically.
