Maria Emilia is an alumni of University of Virginia and Herbal Medicine for Women student. Fueled by her struggle against PCOS and hormonal acne, she founded Aphlora to address the root causes of women's health issues, propelled by her transformative experience of motherhood

As sisters married to two brothers, we have a strong bond rooted in shared values and a deep understanding of the dynamics of family enterprises. Apholora is our third venture together and the closest to our hearts.

Aphlora is a research lab and online store offering natural health products for women's wellness. We aim to bridge ancestral wisdom with modern solutions. Our natural health products are designed to empower women at every life stage, from youth to motherhood and menopause, addressing diverse needs. Our vision extends beyond commerce. We're driven by a deep commitment to the Latin American community, ensuring that low-income women have access to high-quality supplements during maternity and postpartum. This mission is rooted in the belief that by addressing malnutrition during pregnancy, we can pave the way for a healthier and brighter future for generations to come.

Aphlora is more than a concept; it's a movement. It's where tradition meets innovation, empowerment meets transformation, and wellness meets its roots.
