We get a lot of questions about our Organic Herbal Elixirs. What is in them, what do they actually do, and how do you take them? Here is the short guide.
What an elixir is
Each Organic Herbal Elixir is a powdered blend of concentrated plant extracts, propolis and prebiotic fibers, measured so that one teaspoon (3g) is one serving. The plants are organic and traceable, the formulas are free from preservatives, colors, artificial flavors, added sugar, gluten, lactose, gelatin and GMOs, and every batch is third-party tested. There are four, each built around a different need: focus, energy, defenses and calm. You can get them in a 100g glass jar (33 servings) or a box of 15 single-serve sachets for travel.
Brain Elixir: for focus
Organic Elixir Brain is for the days that ask a lot of your head: long work sessions, exam periods, anything that needs sustained attention. It helps improve memory, concentration and coordination while supporting mental alertness.
Its star ingredients: Ginkgo biloba (250mg), whose flavonoids interact with receptors in the brain linked to memory and learning. Rosemary extract (500mg), traditionally used to support mental alertness. Lemon balm extract (250mg), which supports cognitive function and helps maintain a positive mood. And Panax ginseng (22.5mg), an adaptogen that supports brain function, memory and concentration.
It tastes of mint, which is why it pairs so naturally with Greek Mountain Tea with Mint. Take it any time except evening.
Energy Elixir: for the heavy weeks
Organic Elixir Energy helps increase physical and mental performance, reduce fatigue and support the body’s natural defenses. It is the one to reach for on the mornings when the week is already asking more of you.
Its hero ingredients: Ginger root (1400mg), which helps boost energy and vitality, with strong antioxidant properties. Guarana seed extract (125mg), which supports alertness and helps reduce mental fatigue; it contains natural caffeine, about 10mg per serving, roughly a tenth of a cup of coffee. Panax ginseng (50mg), an adaptogen that supports physical performance and endurance. Plus propolis (15mg), rich in flavonoids and phenols.
Spicy and warming, it goes with Greek Mountain Tea with Ginger. Because of the guarana, keep it to mornings or early afternoon.
Immune Elixir: for the cold season
Immune helps strengthen the body’s natural defenses and supports you through colds and recovery. Think of it as the winter staple of the four, and the one to pack when you travel.
Its hero ingredients: Echinacea root (400mg), traditionally used to support the body’s natural defenses. Propolis (30mg), the resin bees use to protect the hive, rich in flavonoids, phenols and terpenes. Acerola fruit juice (250mg), one of the richest natural sources of vitamin C. Elderberry juice (100mg), which supports the body in case of cold. And Panax ginseng (37.5mg), which contributes to normal immune function.
Pair it with Greek Mountain Tea with Dittany, two Cretan plants in one cup. Take it any time except evening, every day through the cold months.
Relax Elixir: for the evening
Relax helps promote calmness and restful sleep, and supports you in times of stress and nervous tension. It is the only elixir designed for the end of the day.
Its hero ingredients: Ashwagandha root extract (200mg), an adaptogen that supports the body’s resistance to stress and emotional balance. Passiflora extract (150mg), which helps with stress management and the transition to restful sleep. Chamomile extract (250mg) and Lemon balm extract (350mg), both of which support relaxation and normal sleep. And California poppy extract (50mg), which contributes to calmness and better sleep without grogginess the next morning.
Citrusy and soft, it pairs with Organic Lemon Balm tea. Take it in the evening, ideally an hour before bed.
How to take them
One teaspoon (or one sachet) a day, stirred into a cup of warm water or tea. That is the whole routine. If you prefer, mix it into juice or a smoothie, or sprinkle it over yogurt. Sweeten with a spoonful of honey, agave syrup, stevia or coconut sugar if you like. Results come with consistency: one serving daily, for at least a couple of weeks.
A simple way to think about the day: Energy or Brain in the morning, Immune at midday through winter, Relax in the evening. You do not need all four. Start with the one that matches what your weeks look like right now.
