☀️ Good morning!
☀️ Buenos días!
☀️ Buongiorno!

And welcome to our newest Balterra followers:

Thank you for joining our growing community.

Balterra was founded in June 2025 with a simple mission: to help make wellness clear.

While the company itself is young, its foundation comes from decades of experience in the food, beverage, and dietary supplement industries. We’ve spent years developing products, evaluating ingredients, reviewing research, and navigating the realities of bringing products to market.

Now we’d like to bring you behind the curtain.

Our goal is not simply to sell supplements. It’s to give you a genuine look at how products are developed, how decisions are made, how ingredients are selected, and what questions consumers should be asking.

We believe an informed consumer is an empowered consumer.

So whether you’re here to learn, ask questions, challenge assumptions, or simply follow along as we build this company, we’re happy to have you with us.

We look forward to hearing from you and learning together.

Stay Balanced.
Stay Clear.

— Jose
Founder, Balterra Wellness

Welcome to Balterra Wellness, and thank you to our newest followers:

We're glad you're here!

One of the reasons Balterra exists is because we dislike the feeling of being sold to.

Too often, consumers are asked to trust products without understanding why they were made, how they were formulated, or whether anyone actually wanted them in the first place.

So we decided to build a company differently.

We believe in transparency, education, answering questions, admitting what we don't know, and continuously improving based on feedback.

In fact, some of Balterra's very first products came directly from a community poll (see attached).

Before there was inventory, there were conversations.

Before there were products, there were questions.

And that's still how we think today.

So we'd love to hear from you (don't be shy):

👇 What product would you like to see a Balterra version of?

Or...

👇 What's one supplement you wish existed but haven't been able to find?

We're listening.

The best ideas often come from the people we're trying to serve.

She doesn’t need motivation.
She needs support.

For the woman doing the workout, leading the meeting, running the house, building the career, checking on everyone, and still trying to feel like herself at the end of the day, we see you.

Balterra Women’s Creatine was built for active, ambitious women who are not done pushing forward.

Strength. Recovery. Daily support.
Made clear.

We're excited to have you here.

While we'll spend plenty of time talking about ingredients, formulations, wellness, and the science behind supplements, we also like to have a little fun along the way.

One of our recent podcast conversations took a completely unexpected turn when we started discussing superheroes and which supplements they might take.

So let's hear from you:

🦸 If you could recommend ONE supplement to any superhero, who would it be and what would they take?

Would Captain America need creatine?

Would Batman need a sleep supplement?

Would Hulk need magnesium?

Would Iron Man take a multivitamin or just upgrade his suit?

There are no wrong answers here, just fun and educational conversation.

Drop your superhero + supplement combo in the comments and let's see who comes up with the most creative answer.

Welcome to the community!

Welcome to the Balterra Wellness community!

A big thank you, Good Morning, and Happy Monday to our newest followers:

Sammy Rosen, Lynn Ching, Lance Alvarez, Anna Drabovsky, Lindsay Fletcher, Austin Kelley, Melissa Vitas, Michael Lucidi, Clive Salmon, Reuven Zilberman, Erica Katz, Ryan May, Andrew Damin, Megha Anuradha, Rena Strauss Cohen, Casey McCormick, Kathleen Allaire, Stephanie Lohret, Amanda Wallin, Melissa M. Cruz Acevedo, Alexis Cortes Noriega, Sasha Shelgunov, Sandra Kenworthy, Sara Elena Aguirre, and everyone else who has recently joined us.

Whether you're here because you love supplements, are curious about wellness, work in the industry, or are completely skeptical of everything in a bottle, know you are welcome here.

Balterra was founded by formulators/scientists. Our goal isn't to tell you what to think. Our goal is to help you understand how products are developed, how ingredients are studied, what the regulations actually say, and where the industry still has room to improve.

We welcome questions such as:

🔹 Are supplements actually regulated?

🔹 How do I know if a study is legitimate?

🔹 Are expensive supplements really better?

🔹 What's the difference between marketing and science?

🔹 How can I tell if a product is worth my money?

And if your opinion is:

"I don't trust supplements at all."

That's okay too.

Some of the best conversations start with disagreement.

We'll always try to answer respectfully, provide evidence when we can, acknowledge uncertainty when it exists, and continue learning together.

Thank you for being here. We look forward to the discussions ahead and hope to earn your trust one conversation at a time. Comment your heart out!

Wellness Made Clear.

Not all probiotics are built the same.

Our 100 Billion CFU Probiotic is formulated with 12 purposeful strains and clearly lists the genus, species, and strain on the label. Transparency should not stop at the front of the bottle.

Wellness made clear.

Formulator led companies should be able to thrive as consumer search moves towards rewarding brands and companies that show their work through science and facts. I believe Balterra is uniquely positioned to thrive and the two reasons why can be found in these two videos I created to explain what a formulator is and to define how AI can be used properly. Take a few minutes, enjoy the videos, and tell me what you think about this subject below. Would love to hear it all!

Our long form videos.

Time for another Live event soon. Coffee and AMA? What say you?

Welcome to Balterra Wellness, and thank you for joining our community!

Shoutout to Larry Paul Burnett, Misty Jones, Matthew Cruz, Benoit Erika, Shannon Gray, and all of our newest and current followers.

As a formulator-led wellness company, our goal is simple: help make supplements easier to understand and give you direct access to the kinds of conversations that usually happen behind the scenes in the industry.

Have questions like:

🔹 Is this supplement actually worth taking?

🔹 What's the difference between plant protein and whey protein?

🔹 Do I really need creatine if I don't go to the gym?

Ask away.

We'll be sharing science, industry insights, podcast conversations, formulation decisions, and practical wellness tips to help you make more confident choices for yourself and your family.

Thanks for being here. We look forward to learning with you, answering your questions, and hopefully becoming a small part of your daily wellness routine.
