Amura’s Vision

We believe that the most under-appreciated route to releasing untapped human potential is to build a healthier body, and through which a better brain.

Billions of healthier brains will make the world richer beyond what we can imagine today. The surplus wealth, combined with better human capabilities, will lead us to a new renaissance, giving us a richer and more beautiful culture. These healthier brains will be equipped with deeper intellect, be less acrimonious, more magnanimous, and have a kinder outlook on the world, resulting in a world that is better than any previous time.

We find this vision of the future exhilarating. Our hopes and dreams are to create this future as quickly as possible and ensure that it is widely distributed and optimized to maximize all forms of human excellence.
