The Hand Behind UF18
Sam Kutchera
The journey began with my own battle against chronic inflammation in both my knees, which led me down the path to discovering the transformative power of cacao. I took the words said by Hippocrates over 2400 years ago very serious. “Let food be thy medicine, let medicine be thy food.” After researching the medicinal elements of cacao, I began searching for some answers as to how we can benefit from it. Fortunately, science has already done a lot of research for us. I just found a way to bring it to you as an effective anti-inflammatory with nothing artificial added.

How UF18 Was Born
Uf18 was born from a shared passion for natural health solutions. Inspired by the ancient healing properties of cacao and the challenges of managing chronic inflammation, I set out to craft a product that merges tradition with modern science.
Finding sustainably sourced, high-quality ceremonial cacao here in the southern part of the Philippines and being committed to creating a product that aligns with both health and environmental values, UF18 was born.
Today, UF18 empowers many people to reclaim their wellness, one piece of cacao at a time
