FAQ

BOTANISTRY products are suited for people seeking to naturally optimize their overall wellbeing. Our products should be taken regularly as part of a healthy diet and lifestyle. The Blends can be taken by men, women and children in the recommended optimal dosage. However, please consult your health professional prior to taking if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition. To note, BOTANISTRY products are not intended to cure, diagnose, treat or prevent any disease, and individual results may vary.

Herbs and spices have been used for their therapeutic benefits for centuries in traditional healing practices. It is said that dried herbs can be more potent and bioavailable to the body than the equivalent fresh amount. BOTANISTRY Blends have been carefully crafted with the guidance of experienced Ayurvedic practitioners, medical doctors and food technologists. The active ingredients in our Blends help provide nutritional support for good health and wellbeing.

Each Blend can be enjoyed in various ways, depending on your preference, any time of day. In powder form, they are easy to mix into any drink or dish. They can be added to smoothies, juices, yoghurt, nut butters, dips, salads, breakfast bowls, healthy bakes, raw desserts… the list is endless!

Consistency is key. And a little goes a long way. We recommend taking a serving of each of your chosen Blends every day. This daily practice helps to build resilience and overall wellbeing for the body and mind, which aligns with the Ayurveda philosophy. For instance, you might like to start your day with an ACTIVE CORALS-enhanced coffee and a BOOSTING AMBERS post-workout protein shake or tuck into a GLOWING GREENS avo toast breakfast and have a DIGESTIVE JADES hot tonic after dinner. Above all, for optimal health, our Blends should be taken as part of a healthy balanced diet.

There is no harm in taking more than one Blend together at a time. However, the 100% natural Blends have been formulated for both function and for flavour, so by combining Blends, their taste profile will change. We recommend taking them separately throughout your day. BOTANISTRY Blends are simple to enjoy because they can be added to smoothies, nut butters, breakfast bowls, raw treats and more!

Yes. It is recommended to take different Blends at different times of the day to best suit your lifestyle and routine. For instance, you might like to start your day with a BOOSTING AMBERS smoothie to kickstart your immune system or a revitalizing morning green juice with GLOWING GREENS, an ACTIVE CORALS enriched energy bite as an afternoon snack, and have a salad dressed with a DIGESTIVE JADES vinaigrette for dinner.

Yes, in fact, children like the taste and colours of our Blends. And it’s great to see kids enjoying all-natural, plant-powered meals. For fussy eaters, you’re able to mix the Blends into food and drinks they like. The recommended dosage is half that of an adult – 1.5g or half a teaspoon of each Blend daily. Nonetheless, we are unable to provide dietary advice for children under the age of 16 and we recommend you seek the advice of your health professional.

We created BOTANISTRY products to provide natural nourishment for everyone.

However, if you are pregnant / breastfeeding or on medication, please consult with your health professional or midwife before taking any of our Blends.

That’s right, our Blends are not filled to the very top of the canister so you don’t have to deal with the mess of an overspill. The dry powder blends are measured by weight and number of servings, rather than volume. Because they are all-natural products, different ingredients can have a different density and so can settle differently inside the canister.

Yes, all our products are made under stringent food safety guidelines from the farm to processing to sealed lab conditions for packing.

They are stringently batch-tested for metals, chemicals and microbials in a third-party laboratory at source and in New Zealand to ensure the best final product for you.

All plant powders for the Blends are certified organic and sourced from locations around the world which are best known to produce the highest quality raw ingredient.

Conducting our business in an ethical way is non-negotiable for us. And paying a fair price to our farming community is part of the mission of BOTANISTRY. Therefore, we source directly from the growing communities and cooperatives who produce the organic ingredients. As a brand, we strive to do our best in every aspect, from ingredient sourcing and quality to trusted supplier relations.

All BOTANISTRY Blends are formulated using only natural, certified organic botanical ingredients. We do not include any additives, anti-clumping agents, bulking agents, binders or dissolving agents. This means our Blends can be a little grainier with visible fibres in comparison to an artificially-enhanced product.

BOTANISTRY Blends are made in small batches from real whole foods, sourced in nature. We don’t add any artificial additives, sweeteners, colourings, flavourings or extracts. This means there may be slight colour and aromatic variations based on the season’s harvest. This is completely normal, and there is no change to our promise of premium quality and potency.

The canisters are made of lined FSC-certified food-grade cardboard. Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification means that the paper we use comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits to communities. The canisters are airtight to ensure freshness, potency and safety of the BOTANISTRY Blends. We hope to make ongoing improvements to our packaging as we continue to learn on this journey and strive to do better.
