Every Ingredient Has a Purpose

'Nature’s performance enhancer'
Cordyceps
A medicinal mushroom, so prized before its cultivation that it was reserved for the sole use of the Emperor of Ancient China. Nowadays, herbalists use this incredible mushroom to support immune, kidney, and liver function as well as help to fight fatigue and aid physical performance.

'Leader of the tonic herbs'
Astragalus
Used by herbalists for its ability to nourish and support the immune system, Astragalus is considered a leader among the tonic herbs. It’s often used to keep infection at bay as well as supporting the immune system as a whole. It’s a key ingredient in our immunity-focused adaptogen supplements.

'Best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system'
Echinacea
Originally from the Native Tribes of America, Echinacea is a favourite for many Western herbalists. Best known for its beneficial effects on the immune system, it is traditionally used to relieve cold and flu symptoms as well as protect the skin from oxidative stress.

‘Used by herbalists to enhance blood circulation’
Yarrow
Commonly found across the UK, herbalists use Yarrow to enhance blood circulation and as a diaphoretic (a herb that induces perspiration). A healing herb, traditionally used across Europe as a poultice to relieve pain, Yarrow also contains flavonoids which may help digestion as well as ease stomach pain and menstrual cramps.

'Used by herbalists through the ages'
Cinnamon Bark
As well as having a very comforting smell, reminding many of winter and the festive season, Cinnamon has been used by herbalists through the ages to enhance circulation, warm the body, and help with digestion. Active compounds in Cinnamon are reported to have anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and antimicrobial effects.

Frequently Asked Questions
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. Or you could take blends that do different things at different times of the day such as Rise & Shine to get you going in the morning together with Doze and Dream in the evening to support deeper rest and relaxation. You are your own Herbtender so you’re welcome to combine your favourite blends any time of day!
We have designed a series of sets combining two or more of our products that go particularly well together. See our sets here.
We advise you to consult with a herbalist or medical practitioner before taking our products if you are on prescribed medication. Even though our capsules are made from natural ingredients, interactions can sometimes happen. To find a medical herbalist near you please go to www.nimh.org.uk and click on ‘find a herbalist’
Yes, all of our products can be taken long term. Often, we find that when people no longer need them, they begin to forget to take them. If you find that happening, you can always stop taking them for a few weeks to see how life is without them and then decide whether or not to restart.
This is a very individual thing. Some people will notice an effect from the first dose, others may need to take the capsules for a week or more before noticing a difference. If you have been taking the capsules for a week and are not noticing any difference, it may be that you need to increase the dose you are taking to the slightly higher one recommended on the pack. We don’t recommend taking more than four capsules per day of any of our products.
All our blends are vegan, dairy-free, soya free, certified gluten-free and certified kosher.
