Redbloom Health

IBS affects 15% of the US population. For every vegan out there, 15 people suffer from IBS, yet grocery shelves are filled with vegan options while those with sensitive guts are left with bland food, powders, pills, and gummies. As a Chinese-American, losing the ability to eat spicy food, garlic, and onion due to IBS felt like losing a part of my identity and culture. In China, chili crisp is the most popular condiment, and I wanted to create something equally special for the gut health and AAPI community. Redbloom was born from my personal battle with IBS. I spent two years collaborating with some of the brightest chefs and doctors to formulate our chili crisp. We made it healthy by replacing ingredients like seed oils, MSG, and excessive sodium with gut-healthy superfoods like organic avocado oil, organic lion's mane powder, and organic zinc salt. We made it Low-FODMAP by infusing garlic and onion into the oil. Our innovation didn't stop there. We microencapsulated chili peppers in oleic acid from avocado oil, creating a layer of healthy fat to cushion the gut from spicy flare-ups - making the product truly gut-healthy, not just gut-friendly We sourced our ingredients from across Asia, including chili flakes from China, chili powder from Korea, cinnamon from Vietnam, and black cardamom from Nepal, bringing authentic and diverse flavors to our product.
