What Sets Kokora Apart

Herbal Remedies Stewarded from the Soil to You

Awakening Nature’s Potential

– nourishing life

At Kokora, we seek to regenerate the vitality within by forging an alliance with nature, the source of nourishment for all life. From soil management, seed selection, cultivation, and harvest, to drying, extraction, concentration, and production, every step of our process supports the awakening of the total potential of nature.

Science & Innovation

– herbal vitality

Third Party Research is conducted at the Ric Scalzo Institute for Botanical Research at the Sonoran University of Health Sciences. This research uses cell biology models that help us better understand our products' mechanism of action, support our product names and health benefit claims, and guide direction for product use. Through our innovative production process, we preserve the intelligence of our herbs and prepare them to be used by the body wisely, bringing their innate vitality forward.

Good For You & For The Planet

– regenerative organic

Through regenerative farming methods, our Regenerative Organic Certified® farms in Costa Rica and partner farms in the US not only produce healthier, more potent herbs but contribute to a healthier planet with increased carbon sequestration, enhanced soil water retention and erosion control, and restored soil microbiome diversity.

Wisdom

Kokora recognizes that nature’s intelligence has tremendous organizing power. It can reshape, rearrange, and revitalize both ecosystems and human physiology back to a state of wholeness.

Science

Kokora is dedicated to substantiating the benefits of our unique formulations through in-vitro bio-assay cellular testing — an indicator of their potential for healthy human outcomes.

Synergy

By utilizing both ancient and modern traditions of formulation and full spectrum extraction, we harmoniously combine the art of tending the earth with the power of synergy to create herbal products that embody the best of traditional and contemporary practices.

“ Reverence and Reciprocity… Tapping the Healing Power of Nature ”

“We have a deep reverence for the microbiome of the soil in which our herbs are grown. The Soil Food Web, when nourished properly touches everything we do and offer. There is no better way to ensure that these Connections That Make Us Whole remain alive and well”.
