A Few Words About Us
Nutri. Goodness inside.
NutriBrownRice® spotlights the good inside its products, its people and its state-of-the-art brown rice drinks process method.
Whimsical, smile-inducing campaign centers around the notion that most people don’t believe healthy diet can be fun and taste good, or connected to their values.
The campaign is meant to draw attention to the beauty of what’s inside our product — not only how our products are made and who makes them–but ultimately how we are connected to people who use and love Nutri. We’re reminding everyone we can all be healthy while not spending much time on cooking.

“Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list”

How we started?
Both husband & wife, Branden & Allycia, the ‘university sweet-hearts’ started Abrand Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd in 2012. The have gone through 3 same careers in 17 years journey together.
Branden & Allycia were inspired by the book called Rich Dad Poor Dad’s by Robert Kiyosaki. They aspired to build a business but they were still exploring. So they registered a company called Abrand Food Manufacturing Sdn Bhd on 16 Nov 2012.
Allycia’s sister was diagnosed with brain cancer and passed away 2 years later. Branden’s uncle also left the world due to cancer. They were in dilemmas. So, they researched into how humans eat and what causes cancer. They eventually realised that brown rice is the world’s healthiest food.
After many rounds of testings and R&Ds, they have shortlisted 1 greenish brown rice out of 20 strains of brown rice. They finally came up with NutriBrownRice® smooth healthy drinks. Since then, they started to commercialise the products and their first corporate client was a hospital!
A story about our founder
What continue to motivate us?
In 2015, more than 1 doctor suspected my eldest son to have bone cancer. But luckily, it was just a bone infection.
This health scare inspired my wife and me to be the ‘health ministers’ of the family. I was amazed to discover that brown rice is the world’s healthiest food!
However, my 3 kids dislike eating brown rice compared to white rice. So I created smooth brown rice drinks. My son also had a poor digestive system due to long term consumption of antibiotics. So we remove lactose in our brown rice drinks. Brown rice is naturally hypoallergenic. My son was finally happy drinking NutriBrownRice® and he grew from skinny to chubby. My family has started to be healthy!
WHOLEFOOD VITAMIN E
CANCER FIGHTING NUTRIENTS
We discovered a link between the lack of vitamin E in human daily diet and it’s benefits to fight against cancer. The good news is that the brown rice powder we produce keeps a high level of wholefood vitamin E.
