Adaptogens are a class of herbs, mushrooms and minerals that help protect the body from stress-induced dysfunction. Adaptogens must meet certain criteria, including (but not limited to): relatively non-toxic, work through the HPA (hypothalamic-pituitary/adrenal axis) and SAS (sympathoadrenal system), and regulate organs and system function. Current research also suggests that adaptogens work on a cellular level, acting like a “stress vaccine,” increasing our cells’ ability to respond to stress.

Superherbs are potent, complex and targeted herbs that support and nourish the body in a variety of ways. Many superherbs, like Maca and Chaga, were once thought to be possible adaptogens, but due to the most recent scientific evidence, we have classified them simply as superherbs.

Supermushrooms are mushrooms that have been used for millennia for their ability to target specific sites of the body, mind and spirit. These mushrooms contain a number of active constituents and are available in both our Moon Dusts as well as Pantry collection. Examples include Reishi, Cordyceps and Lion’s Mane.

Yes! We highly encourage alchemizing to find the right balance for your body. Head to our recipe section and follow us on social for a steady stream of new recipes and tips.

We source organic ingredients whenever possible. All organic ingredients are indicated as such on product pages.

Almost all! Pearl and Beauty Dust (which contains Pearl) are our only products that aren't vegan.

Yes, they are. Here’s some more info!

Our Plants

• We use the most potent plants on earth, beginning with the highest quality ingredients.
• Our superherbs and supermushrooms are carefully sourced from their native region for plants that are thriving, potent and active.
• We study the history of each ingredient and form partnerships with organic, sustainable farms.
• When traditional organic farms are not available, the ingredient is wildcrafted via responsible suppliers who carefully monitor not only the plant population but the environment as well. These practices are designed to guarantee the long-term survival of wild populations and their associated habitats.
• Careful farming practices also ensure we only harvest plants at their peak season and potency.
• Each plant is different. Rhodiola roots, for example, are harvested when they are 5 years old. The proper age of each plant is determined by the peak levels of their actives, ensuring optimal bioactivity.
• Our supermushrooms like Chaga, Lion’s Mane, Cordyceps and Reishi are 100% fruiting body – which is the most actively dense part of the mushroom containing beta glucans and other minerals and vitamins. This enables us to use the full spectrum of properties that these supermushrooms contain.
• Our plants are imported whole and custom extracted at a wind-powered facility in the Pacific Northwest using local spring water.

Our Extraction and Testing Methods

• Moon Juice plants are imported to the United States from around the world, where they go through two rounds of identity testing. Botanical identity is essential because of significant species-dependent variation in phytochemistry and biological properties of the plant.
• We work with herbalists and doctors to determine the most appropriate type of extract for each plant (whole plant powders, whole plant extracts, or standardized extracts) to make the most balanced blends.
• Not only do we test for bioactives, our plants are also tested for heavy metals, mycotoxins, microbiology and pesticides.

Clinical Testing

• A selection of Moon Juice’s ingredients have been tested in randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled human clinical trials measuring cortisol and a number of other biological markers, showing how these adaptogens help to regulate stress in the body.
• Traditionally, there have not been many clinical studies completed on herbs, but the benefits of adaptogens have been illustrated for thousands of years in Ayurveda and Traditional Chinese Medicine.
• There are ingredients in each Moon Dust blend that are designed to address a wide range of concerns including: stress, energy, mental cognition, blood sugar balance, cardiovascular health, and healthy weight management.

Yes! All orders placed on moonjuice.com will receive pre-selected sample(s) with their shipment.

We like taking 2 caps in the morning (with or without food) If you'd like to start slowly incorporating SuperYou®, try 1 cap in the morning and 1 at night and see how you feel.

Moon Juice products feature superherbs, supermushrooms, minerals, and adaptogens in powdered and extract form. SuperYou® is a balanced blend of four adaptogenic herbs that we recognize as the non-negotiable allies against stress for overall well-being. SuperYou® is delivered in capsule form to be taken with or without food.

Moon Dusts make up a collection of 6 different alchemical blends of adaptogens, superherbs, supermushrooms and minerals designed to enhance specific aspects of your life. Moon Dusts are delivered in a powdered, compound form (a mixture of powders and extracts) to be added to water, coffees, teas, smoothies, foods, and more.

Our capsules are derived from vegetable cellulose. They are vegan!

We improved production efficiencies and were able to pack the same amount of actives in a smaller capsule for ease of consumption.

Every body is different so this varies person to person. Some people will feel the effects within 20 minutes of taking, some will take a couple weeks to see and feel the difference. Check out our reviews to see what people are saying!

SuperYou® is a foundational system for proactive, potent, stress-reduction. You may target specific concerns with one of the Moon Dusts based on how you feel. If you are combining Moon Dusts and SuperYou® - stick to two capsules of SuperYou® a day and one serving of Moon Dust.

Adaptogens are not addictive, but they do help you find balance, so you may find yourself craving the balance that adaptogens provide.

You can find the expiration date on the bottom of your bottle!

It's a biodynamic approach - everything in your body is interrelated and SuperHair supports the internal environment for your body to grow healthier, thicker, stronger hair in four critical ways. One of the ways it supports your body is by addressing any nutritional deficiencies with a bioavailable and bioactive multi-vitamin complex. SuperHair is vegan - most hair supplements contain animal or marine collagen. We believe in providing your body with what it needs for healthy collagen production instead of ingesting animal collagen.

We recommend taking SuperHair at a time where you can make it part of your daily ritual to ensure consistency.⁣

Hair health takes time to materialize – expect to see changes within 90 days. With consistent use, you should continue to see positive changes, including thicker, fuller, stronger and healthier hair. But every body is different; some people begin seeing changes in as little as one month.

Yes.

Both contain Ashwagandha, in a dose designed to take together. SuperYou is foundational, non-negotiable daily stress management. Add SuperHair to your regimen for daily hair nutrition to be preventative, or if you are seeing major changes in your hair. Hair ages just like the rest of our body and should be cared for in the same way. The best path to hair health is to start caring for it before you're seeing major changes.

SuperHair contains a multi-vitamin complex of 14 vitamins: A, B Complex (5x), C, D, E, K, Iron, Zinc & Folate in bioactive forms for easy assimilation at levels that will help address nutritional deficiencies. It’s your multi-vitamin and hair pill in one.⁣

All of the individual ingredients are tested for identity and microbiological safety, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Then the finished product is tested again at a third party lab to ensure it meets specifications.

Yes, we did not include hydrolyzed marine collagen or any ingredient from an animal source. We were diligent to ensure we could offer a vegan hair supplement since there aren’t a lot of vegan options.

3 bioavailable forms of Magnesium: a chelated blend of Gluconate and Acetyl Taurinate and a chelated Citrate (for relaxation, brain health, and regularity). Plus L-theanine, a nootropic amino acid that promotes alpha-wave activity and is shown to support brain function and healthy cognitive aging.

Bioavailability means the ingredient is easily absorbed by your gut so it’s able to be active. If you’re taking a Magnesium supplement that has not been formulated for bioavailability, you are not getting the full benefit of the product.

Mixed berries. Made from 100% natural and organic ingredients. The pink color is from beet powder.

Some are immediate, others long term. You should feel relaxation benefits within a few hours. Supporting your brain health is a longer game, and the sooner you start the better. Regularity, if lacking, usually begins in a day or two of making it a habit.*

Make it a part of your nightly ritual. Mix 1 tsp into water (add more or less to taste). It can also be mixed into sparkling water or juice, or added to your water bottle for a constant dose throughout the day.

We use adaptogenic Reishi and Silver Ear Mushroom.

The formula is made to mirror the pH of the skin’s natural acid mantel that is around within a range near 5.5, which is slightly acidic. Having a skin friendly pH means not disrupting the ecosystem that exists on the skin's surface that serves several functions in maintaining overall skin health.

Yes! We recommend double cleansing with Milk Cleanse if you wear makeup - the first cleanse will remove makeup, and the second cleanse will nourish the skin.

Acne prone skin benefits from exfoliation, especially Salicylic Acid since it works inside the pore. If you are new to Acids, you may experience purging if they are not used to exfoliating – this should resolve within a week. 

Yes, please always wear SPF if you are using Acid Potion. This is true with any exfoliating product - your skin will be more sensitive to the sun. Also, if you are battling discoloration, SPF should be an essential part of your regimen.

We do not recommend combining with any retinoid treatment. We recommend using Acid Potion on a day when you are not using a retinoid treatment.

Plump Jelly contains no fillers or gums, however it was not tested to be non-comedogenic. 

No, this formula is non-comedogenic. Grapeseed oil makes up a small fraction of the formula and is extremely rich in linoleic acid, which helps balance the ratio of oleic acid content that is often higher in those who suffer from blemish prone skin. The formula also contains jojoba oil, which easily penetrates the surface of the skin to deliver lasting hydration. The wide range of fatty acids in jojoba oil make it an excellent ingredient for those with blemish prone skin. If you have super oily skin, you may wish to use Plump Jelly AM and Cosmic Cream™ PM.

Yes! Milk Cleanse is a gentle formula that nourishes and cleanses the skin. It removes clogging debris and excess oils that can aggravate blemish prone skin. Blemish prone skin is often dehydrated so adding a moisturizer to your routine is crucial. Cosmic Cream™ is packed with soothing ingredients that help fortify skin’s barrier, deliver deep moisturization and seal in hydration.

Milk Cleanse to wash away impurities and prep your skin with Acid Potion PM after cleanser - start 1-2 times a week. Then apply Plump Jelly, Cosmic Cream™ next, and sunscreen as the last step.

Since our formulas are paraben-free we use honeysuckle extract to ensure safety and shelf-life.

Yes!

Yes, we are proud to make 100% cruelty free, plant-based products.

Absolutely! We recommend using a blender to make your recipes smooth and creamy. 

Moon Dusts are alchemical blends of adaptogens, superherbs, supermushrooms and minerals designed to enhance your being throughout the day. Each blend is expertly and intentionally formulated by our founder Amanda and her team (including a trained herbalist) to enhance a specific aspect of your life.

Moon Juice creates each dust from a base of ancient wisdom (Ayurveda, TCM) and modern science (adaptogenic research) to create blends with maximized potency, synergy and bio-availability.

• Brain Dust - smoky, bitter
• Beauty Dust - sweet, tart, berry
• Sex Dust - rich, chocolately, smoky
• Spirit Dust - sweet, nutty
• Power Dust - neutral, earthy
• Dream Dust - sweet, chamomile

Depends on how often you need to feed your need! We find ourselves dusting between 2-3 times a day, 1-2 servings of dust at a time. Start slow, gauge your body's reaction and then increase usage accordingly.

Our targeted formulas offer acute support, but benefits are maximized with consistent use. Most customers experience a quick and noticeable shift with Brain, Sex, Power, and Spirit. Dream works better with consistent use, and Beauty Dust should be taken consistently for a minimum of three weeks to see results.

Experiences and sensitivities to herbs vary from person to person (as with coffee), so we recommend staying within 2 servings of Moon Dust per experience at the onset.

Warm water, hot or cold nut milk, or into a shake are all simple favorites! Try Beauty Dust with warm lemon water, or Brain Dust sprinkled into coffee. Head to our Dust Recipes section and follow us on social for a steady stream of new recipes and tips.

Unfortunately we are not health care practitioners or providers, so we legally cannot provide you with medical advice. We recommend reaching out to your local herbalist, healthcare practitioner or acupuncturist if you are concerned about taking Moon Juice products in conjunction with a pre-existing medical condition.

As with adults, every child is different. We recommend waiting until your young one is at least 4 years old before Dusting them.

We are not healthcare practitioners or providers, so we legally cannot provide you with any medical advice. We recommend reaching out to your local herbalist, healthcare practitioner or acupuncturist if you are planning on taking Moon Juice supplements during your pregnancy or while breastfeeding.

Dusts should be free-flowing for their shelf-life, though our berry-heavy blend Beauty Dust can clump or harden if not used regularly. This does not affect the potency. If you are a casual Beauty Duster, we recommend the Beauty Dust sachets!

Each formula is expertly formulated by Amanda and her team to be energetically balanced (meaning it won’t throw your constitution too far in one direction or another), consciously sourced and intentionally blended.

Dusts have a shelf-life of about 2 years.

No – our Dusts are filled by weight, not volume, and each Dust has a different density depending on the ingredients in the formula.

Yes! Dusts love to travel and see the world.

Yes – please reuse the jars!

As our dusts are comprised of ground herbs and mushrooms, they will not dissolve completely! A way to help incorporate more of the dust into your drink is by using a high speed blender, aerolatte, or giving a stir before sipping!

Yes! All of our Moon Dusts contain adaptogens.

Absolutely! We recommend trying each Moon Dust on its own to feel how they work with your body, and then alchemize from there! 

Brain, Power, Sex, Spirit, and Dream Dusts are all vegan. Our Beauty Dust is not as it contains Pearl.
