Meet the Founder
My name is Fhie. I am the proud founder and CEO of Pure Origin and a mom!
I am very invested and passionate about my family, fitness, beauty, and the everyday hustle. Like many of you, balancing the various aspects of life while savoring those additional moments with family and loved ones in our pursuit of a healthy lifestyle is important to me. As a fan of healthy living, I love to provide my family with healthy choices in their day-to-day lives. This is the legacy that I wish to leave for future generations- living a healthier and more fulfilling life through nutritious food and lifestyle choices. Thus, I founded Pure Origin—a place where we can strengthen family connections and adopt a healthier way of living without sacrificing delicious flavors that exist around the world.
Why did I choose Monk Fruit as a sugar-free replacement?
In contrast to widely used sugar alternatives like stevia and aspartame, sugar replacements often come with a variety of side effects such as bad taste or ingesting an artificial compound not found in nature.
When incorporating Stevia into your diet, it's important to be aware of potential side effects. Some individuals may encounter gastrointestinal discomfort, including bloating, gas, or an upset stomach. Moreover, in certain cases, Stevia consumption can result in a bitter or licorice-like aftertaste.
Aspartame, a popular low-calorie sugar substitute, has its share of potential side effects that require careful consideration. People with phenylketonuria (PKU), a rare genetic disorder, should avoid the consumption of aspartame due to its phenylalanine content. Moreover, research suggests a potential link between aspartame and weight gain, indicating that this artificial sweetener may disrupt metabolic processes. To safeguard my family, I opted to avoid the ingestion of this chemical and seek alternatives.
Through my intensive research and my time in Asia, I found that Monk Fruit is a great natural choice for those seeking to reduce calorie intake or manage weight without sacrificing sweetness. What sets it apart is its lack of associated side effects, making it a suitable option for a healthier approach to sweetness.
With so many chemicals and adulterations in the food industry, many of us change our diets and seek healthier options. I want to help people recognize the importance of choosing healthier options without compromising their taste. Monk Fruit has a remarkable natural sweetness from fruit and a low glycemic index.
I hope this product will be a catalyst of change for your household as much as it was for my household.
Cheers to Healthier Living!
