By Belfort, France – amoseeds was born from the determination of its founders, Boris Schottey and Loïc Dibon, to make the benefits of superfoods with strong nutritional properties and multiple health benefits, such as improved sleep, digestion, weight loss, energy, joint mobility, and stress relief, known to the public. In 2019, they released their first product: organic chia seeds. Their goal of popularizing these revitalizing foods was a real success, leading to the development of a large range of over 50 products, ranging from superfoods to dietary supplements.
A premium brand that attracts customers with its positioning
To stand out, the company has focused on excellence since its inception. amoseeds carefully selects its producers and suppliers in a responsible and sustainable manner and in conditions that ensure complete product traceability and transparency. All products are organic and grown in natural environments, ensuring high nutritional values and offering unparalleled quality and purity guarantees. The company is also strongly committed to customer satisfaction. Amoseeds’ team is trained and formed in dietetics and nutrition to best support consumers in choosing their treatments and using the products.

To accelerate its success, amoseeds is expanding its circle of investors and announcing a €2.4 million funding round with FPCI Food Invest fund, managed by Elevation Capital Partners, advised by its strategic partner FoodXpert, and the FPCI Invest Création 5.0 fund, managed by UI Investissement. This is a major and promising step for amoseeds, which aspires to great projects.

Our products help our customers. Every day, we read with pleasure their positive feedback and testimonies about the strong improvement in their daily lives.
