Can I mix my adaptogenic blends together?

Absolutely. Many of The Herbtender community enjoy mixing blends for increased potency. You could decide to combine a few blends to work together to achieve the same thing, such as Rise & Shine and Focus & Clarity, which are crafted for energy and mental focus. We recommend taking those in the morning or afternoon.

How should I store my blends?

Unopened Herbtender blends have a two-year shelf life. Once you have opened a jar, it should be stored in a cool, dry place and we suggest enjoying it within 90 days. You are welcome to keep them in the refrigerator, but it's not needed. These blends are gently dehydrated so their nutrients last a long time outside the fridge.

What allergens do your blends contain?

All our blends are vegan, dairy-free, soya free, certified gluten-free and certified kosher.

What is an Adaptogen?

Adaptogens are intuitive herbs and mushrooms capable of adapting to the needs of the human body. They work synergistically with the pituitary, hypothalamic, and adrenal glands to support the body and build resilience when times are tough. In other words, they help your body find the “sweet spot,” so you can feel calm and energized at the same time. Adaptogens have been used in Chinese and Ayurvedic medicine for centuries. And in the high-stress- environment of modern life, they’ve become more important than ever. To learn more about adaptogens head over to our website here
