FAQ
What is a superfood?
A superfood is a food that is especially nutrient-dense and is highly beneficial for health and wellbeing. There are many foods that have earned the title of “superfood” and Philosophie products combine some of the world’s most potent superfoods to make it easier than ever to achieve optimal nutrition and health.
What is in the Plant-Based Superfood Blends?
Each of the Philosophie Plant-Based Superfood Blends is vegan, raw, gluten-free, nut-free, and has absolutely no filler ingredients. The detoxifying Green Dream blend, beautifying Berry Bliss blend, and energizing Cacao Magic blend contain nothing but the purest, most healing superfoods. When the body receives optimal nourishment from these wholesome, plant-based sources of protein, vitamins, and minerals, it more readily releases unneeded material and toxins leaving you feeling renewed and vibrantly healthy.
Which superfood blend is right for me?
Start with our quiz! Each superfood blend has a unique combination of nutrient-rich ingredients that will nourish and revitalize your body. Green Dream is packed with Spirulina making it ideal for detoxification and a body reset. Cacao Magic contains Reishi mushroom, which has been studied for its countless health benefits, including anti-cancer properties, neuroprotective properties, and lifespan extending properties. Berry Bliss contains a mix of berries that are particularly high in antioxidants and can promote healthy skin, nails, and hair, as well as camu camu, the most potent natural source of immunity-boosting Vitamin C on earth! We like to have a dose of each one every day to receive the unique healing benefits of each one!

Are Philosophie products safe for pregnancy and breastfeeding?
We LOVE our Philosophie mamas. Created by Sophie Jaffe when she was pregnant with her first, Philosophie Superfood Blends & Infusions were created with a mother's needs in mind. The superfoods are specifically created to give you and your growing baby all the nutrients you need throughout your pregnancy and well beyond into the fourth trimester. For example, maca is an excellent superfood to add to your diet as a supplement during pregnancy. It naturally boosts fertility and balances hormones. It is in all 3 of our Philosophie Superfood Blends. Liquid chlorophyll also helps support the bodies hydration and cleansing which is needed even more so during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Of course, if you have any specific concerns you can always check with your birth practitioner. Thanks for asking and congratulations!
Do Philosophie products have caffeine in them?
Philosophie products contain absolutely no additives or fillers. Our Superfood Blends are made of only raw superfoods that have been finely ground so that they can be easily added to any and all foods. While some of the superfoods in our blends, such as cacao, maca, and spirulina have been reported to have energy-boosting properties, we do not add any artificial or processed stimulants, such as caffeine or sugar, to our products. Most of our customers report feeling a refreshing boost in energy levels without the jitteriness or crash that often comes with consumption of caffeine or sugar. Of course, each body is unique, so if you have any concerns about the potential stimulatory effects of the ingredients in our products, we suggest that you start with a lower dose to determine your level of sensitivity.
Is Maca safe?
Maca is a radish-like root vegetable that grows in the high plateaus of the Peruvian Andes and has been a source of nutrition and healing for the indigenous peoples of this region for thousands of years. It is an incredibly potent superfood that is rich in fiber, protein, and a plethora of nutrients that promote physical, mental, and emotional health.
Maca is an excellent source of calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium, minerals that are absolutely essential for vital bodily functions, and it is has been used by many people to promote reproductive health. While Maca does not contain hormones, it provides a unique set of nutrients that strengthens the organs and glands that produce and regulate hormones.
Just like Philosophie creator Sophie Jaffe, many Philosophie customers have enjoyed the nourishing benefits of Philosophie superfood products during pregnancies, while breastfeeding, and as a way to add nutrients to their children’s foods from infancy onward; however, as with any supplement, maca is not appropriate for everyone and could potentially cause problems for some individuals. It is best to consult with your doctor before adding maca to your diet if you are pregnant, breast-feeding, suffering from or at high risk of hormone-sensitive diseases, impaired thyroid function, liver disease, or kidney disease or if you have concerns about the effects of adding maca to your diet or your child’s diet.
