Our History
My name is Rilion Gracie. I am the youngest son of the Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr., founder of Gracie Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and the creator of MMA. I have been involved in my father’s tradition since I was born. I grew up in the world of mats, healthy living, improved life skills, spiritual development and philosophic concepts of Gracie Jiu-Jitsu.
In the 1920s, my father, Grand Master Carlos Gracie Sr. realized that he had to find a way to make a major change in his life, keep his body strong and increase longevity, for passing on his legacy to the entire Gracie family. That scenario set the tone for a major breakthrough in history, with the creation of a totally new healthy living lifestyle method based on three concepts:
- Not poisoning the body
- Taking care of it
- Respecting the adequate chemical combination of different types of food in a meal.
In that same sense, after many decades of learning, I am proud to launch Gracie Essentials® whose goal is to provide the purest and best quality functional nutrition and supplements for all kinds of athletes and sports enthusiasts who value those same principles.
The Gracie Essentials® products are free of toxic substances that can cause harm to the human body and are formulated with premium ingredients.
All our products are manufactured in the US, in FDA (Food and Drugs Administration) and GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) certified facilities and tested by independent laboratories to make sure everything that is on the label is also inside the bottle.
So this is not one more supplement brand on the market, this is actually the way I found to take the next step on my journey, through a modern concept of my father's legacy, being able to help millions of people in their physical challenges and spreading the healthy lifestyle mindset around the world!
Hope you can join me on this endeavor!
