Why are seed oils bad?

Seed oils are highly processed and often contain high levels of omega-6 fatty acids, which can lead to inflammation and other health issues when consumed in excess. For more information on why we avoid them, check out the "About Seed Oils" tab.

What is beef tallow?

Beef tallow is pure, rendered beef fat, prized for its rich flavor and high smoke point, making it ideal for cooking and frying.

Why do you use egg white protein in your bars instead of other protein sources?

We use egg white protein because it’s highly bioavailable, allergen-friendly, and delivers clean, complete protein without unnecessary additives.

Is there any soy in your product?

No, our product is 100% soy-free, made with premium soy lecithin-free chocolate for a cleaner, purer taste.

If you are a seed oil-free product, why do you use macadamia nuts in one of your bars?

We use macadamia nuts because they have the lowest linoleic acid concentration among nuts, aligning with our commitment to being seed oil-free.

How are your bars sweetened?

Our bars are naturally sweetened with honey and agave, offering a touch of sweetness with added benefits. Honey provides antioxidants and natural energy, while agave has a low glycemic index for sustained energy without spikes.

What inspired Gaia?

Gaia was inspired by our founders, Chris and Mike, who had been living seed oil-free for some time. After noticing that many of their favorite treats were filled with processed seed oils, they decided to recreate some of them and share their clean, delicious versions with others. You can read more about their journey in the "Our Story" tab.
