Urban Remedy _ Food is medicine

Urban Remedy, the latest startup incubated by LA accelerator Science, launching today as an e-commerce destination for healthy juices, gluten-free snacks, meal replacements and more.

Urban Remedy is the brainchild of Chinese nutritionist and acupuncturist Neka Pasquale, who founded the company after years of studying the medicinal qualities of foods and creating cleanses for herself as well as friends and clients. The sites juices and snacks want to be the elixir for anyone who is lacking weekly nutrition, or feeling tired, ill, run-down, stressed, lethargic, overweight or overloaded with rich foods and alcohol.

Each 16oz juice serving is packed with hand-pressed, raw, and organic fruits and veggies. Snacks are gluten/grain/white sugar/dairy free. Users can visit the website to purchase juices, meals, and snacks, which are all delivered nationwide. Users can also see which items best suit their daily health needs.
