A short list you can read in ten seconds, and a reason for each one.
- Cocoa liquor
- Natural South American cacao, never alkalized: deep, rich and the heart of every piece.
- Tagatose
- A rare sugar found in nature. Sweetness, with no sugar added.
- Cocoa butter
- The clean snap and the slow melt.
- Pomegranate pomace
- The peel, seeds and membranes of the fruit, where much of its natural polyphenols are found. Part of the FoodBIOME® composition, with a bright fruit note.
- Mango butter
- A smooth, creamy texture without dairy.
- Carob
- From the pods of the Mediterranean carob tree: naturally sweet, with a warm, caramel-like note that rounds out the cacao.
- Sunflower lecithin
- Keeps the texture smooth and even.
- Natural vanilla flavor
- A soft vanilla finish.
Never inside: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans or sesame. No preservatives. No sugar alcohols.
No sugar added. Not a low calorie food. The Nutrition Facts panel is in the photos at the top of the page.

Contract manufacturingEarly human research
We didn't just make it. We tested it with people.
People ate FoodBIOME®, the cacao in every piece of Naked Nature®, once a day. Then we checked what changed.
In the gutGut study
- How long40 days
- What we checkedStool samples, before and after
- What we sawSupported a shift in the mix of gut bacteria.* Went up: two bacteria widely considered beneficial, Akkermansia muciniphila and Parabacteroides distasonis Went down: two bacteria you want less of, Clostridium bolteae and Morganella morganii
Good to know: these were small, early studies, a first look rather than the final word.

One piece a day
Daily cacao? Yes, please.
There's a reason chocolate is one of the foods people crave most. When you enjoy it, your brain's reward system lights up: the same pathways that run on dopamine, the "feel-good" messenger. That little moment of pleasure is real, and you can say yes to it every day.
Indulgence, no compromise
- Rich, real cacao. Natural South American cacao, smooth and slow to melt.
- No sugar added, 25 calories a piece. Sweetened with tagatose, a rare sugar found in nature.
- Not empty calories. While you savor it, FoodBIOME® is at work in the background: the same composition studied for oral and gut microbiome balance.*
Enjoy it with your morning coffee, at your desk, or after dinner. One pouch = 20 pieces = 20 days.

Good to know
Your questions, answered
Is it a food or a supplement?
A food. Naked Nature® carries a Nutrition Facts label; you'll find it in the product photos at the top of this page. Our formulas with added active ingredients, like CHOCOWellness® and SHARP, are dietary supplements.
What is it sweetened with?
Tagatose, a rare sugar found in nature. It tastes much like sugar, with less than half the calories, and it's low glycemic. That's why there's no sugar added.
Is "no sugar added" the same as sugar free?
No. Nothing is added to sweeten it except tagatose, but cacao has a little natural sugar of its own. Naked Nature® is not a low calorie food; the Nutrition Facts panel shows the exact calories and sugars per piece.
What does "Naked" mean?
It's FoodBIOME®, our patent-pending cacao composition, with nothing added to it: no active ingredients, no preservatives. It's the same composition that was studied in two early human pilots.*
Where does your cacao come from?
South America. We use natural cocoa mass that is never alkalized (Dutch-processed). Alkalizing softens cocoa's taste, but it removes a large share of the flavanols that occur naturally in cacao, so we skip it.
Is it made in an allergen-free facility?
Yes. We make Naked Nature® ourselves, in our own facility in Sarasota, Florida, which is dedicated to production free of the 9 major allergens: milk, eggs, fish, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, peanuts, wheat, soybeans and sesame.
Will it melt in shipping?
We pack for the weather. In warm months, orders ship with insulation and cold packs. If anything arrives damaged, contact us and we'll make it right.
How should I store it?
Somewhere cool and dry, away from direct sun. Every piece is individually wrapped, so the pouch stays fresh to the last one.
How is it different from the other Smart3® products?
Naked Nature® is FoodBIOME® on its own. Our formulas, like CHOCOWellness® and SHARP, are FoodBIOME® plus active ingredients for a specific benefit.
Ready for more?
Same cacao, plus a formula for a specific goal.
Every Smart3® formula starts with FoodBIOME®, the cacao in Naked Nature®, and adds active ingredients for one job.
