Nehemiah Superfood is a Philippine health and wellness brand owned by Nehemiah Gabros, OPC, specializing in natural, plant-based, and herbal food products. The company produces a range of powdered superfoods, herbal capsules, natural beverages, and wellness products made primarily from locally sourced medicinal plants and organic ingredients. Its headquarters are located in Marikina City, Metro Manila, Philippines, and its products are sold throughout the Philippines and selected international markets. [1]

Nehemiah Superfood traces its origins to the personal health journey of its founder, Jemuel “Farmer Jem” Gabuna.

According to the company, Gabuna experienced hereditary medical conditions that motivated him to adopt a healthier lifestyle centered on organic nutrition. Finding commercially available food insufficient for his dietary goals, he began learning about organic farming through wellness seminars and agricultural training. [2]

A pivotal event occurred after Typhoon Ondoy (Ketsana) struck Metro Manila in 2009. Vacant lots in his neighborhood became available for cultivation, leading him to establish an urban organic garden and vermicomposting operation in Marikina.

His agricultural education continued through the Agricultural Training Institute (ATI) and Costales Nature Farms, where he studied organic farming techniques. The garden eventually expanded into approximately 1,500 square meters and produced vegetables including:

• Kale
• Spinach
• Lettuce
• Arugula
• Upland kangkong
• Various medicinal herbs

The company states that improvements in his personal health inspired the establishment of Project Nehemiah, an initiative promoting organic farming and healthier lifestyles among Filipino communities. This initiative later evolved into the commercial brand Nehemiah Superfood. [2]

Nehemiah Superfood promotes a philosophy combining:

• Organic agriculture
• Traditional herbal knowledge
