<\/p>\nLaunched in 2021 in S\u00e3o Paulo, Mombora has the mission of offering 100% natural alternatives for carbohydrate supplementation, meeting the growing demand for healthy products free from artificial additives.<\/p>\n
The idea was born from the desire to create a nutritional solution for sports performance that is both effective and aligned with the principles of sustainability and biodiversity promotion. Mombora\u2019s proposal is simple but transformative: using native Brazilian fruits without artificial colorings, preservatives, or flavors.<\/p>\n
Mombora\u2019s essence is deeply connected to Brazilian biodiversity and sustainability. The company uses natural ingredients from different biomes across Brazil, sourced from small farmers and local communities that adopt sustainable management practices.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe use fruits such as jabuticaba, cupua\u00e7u, a\u00e7a\u00ed-ju\u00e7ara, and cambuci, and our main principle is to offer a 100% natural product, avoiding the use of artificial colorings, preservatives, or flavors,\u201d says Kazumi Kawasaki Ramos, Operations & R&D Manager\/Co-founder of Mombora.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Sustainability is not just a differentiator for the company but a true commitment. By replacing artificial flavors with real fruits, Mombora contributes to forest preservation and economically supports local producers, fostering a regenerative economy.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe preservation of native vegetation acts as a true \u2018lung\u2019 for the planet, as forests play a crucial role in absorbing carbon from the atmosphere. By encouraging these practices, we help offset the carbon emissions of the entire production chain.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sustainability and environmental preservation values are also key criteria when selecting suppliers. \u201cThere is constant research and development to test new fruits and raw materials, as well as mapping out production chains and producers. Today, our main partner is Instituto Au\u00e1, which has been promoting Atlantic Forest ingredients for years.\u201d<\/p>\n
Kazumi explains that the research and development team is also continuously testing sustainable packaging materials, such as biodegradable scoops for powdered products, and ways to fully utilize raw materials. The company partners with eureciclo<\/a>, an organization focused on socio-environmental impact and increasing recycling rates in Brazil, and Eco Local Brasil<\/a>, which promotes actions to combat marine waste, environmental education, and waste management.<\/p>\n Additionally, Mombora runs a recycling program where customers can return packaging at Casa Mombora in S\u00e3o Paulo and receive discounts and brand giveaways.<\/p>\n From the very beginning, Mombora has been committed to giving consumers the experience of discovering native Brazilian fruits. \u201cThrough our products, we truly aim to raise awareness of these fruits, which are often little known and produced by small farmers.\u201d<\/p>\n The company also shares information about Brazil\u2019s biomes and environmental preservation through its communication channels. \u201cOur marketing actions, both online and offline, highlight the potential of these fruits. In offline actions, we promote reforestation by distributing seeds, for example.\u201d<\/p>\n In addition to engaging with consumers, Mombora provides knowledge to native fruit producers, mainly in the Atlantic Forest region, close to its operational area. \u201cWe also collaborate on projects that map and diagnose native fruit production chains in the Vale do Para\u00edba region, introduce native fruits into school meals, and support producers with technological aspects related to fruit processing.\u201d<\/p>\n Another way of fostering social engagement is through the donation of sachets to sports projects. Currently, these are given to athletes at Instituto Vanderlei Cordeiro de Lima.<\/p>\nSharing knowledge with consumers<\/h2>\n
