How were the beginnings of the brand?
After searching for answers to a constant discomfort, Andrés decided to change his habits and look for natural and integrative alternatives to improve his health and quality of life. This is how adaptogenic mushrooms appeared, and after verifying their benefits for a while, he began to think about how to make it reach more people and thus Smart Coffee was born.
The brand then grew and transformed into Smart Foods, whose purpose is “to help people improve their quality of life” and develop functional foods with natural substances, mainly adaptogenic mushrooms.
