We’re back for day 3 of Elixir Blends 101, our final day answering your general questions. Don’t forget to check in over the next few days as we dive into the benefits of each blend!

Our Elixir Blends aren’t certified organic, but we only use certified organic or wildcrafted ingredients (allowed to grow in the wild without human assistance — often superior to organic!), and never lab-grown. We also independently test our products for pesticides, and various heavy metals + microbes so that you can be confident about purity and quality. ℚ: 𝔾𝕠𝕥 it, 𝕥𝕙𝕖𝕪’𝕣𝕖 𝕡𝕦𝕣𝕖.

Our blends are: 🍄 formulated by health experts 🍄 guided by centuries-old principles of herbal + traditional medicine 🍄 crafted with concentrated, potent botanical extracts (rather than simply whole ground herbs) that work synergistically to provide each blend’s benefits 🍄 contain an effective dose of each medicinal ingredient ℚ: 𝕁𝕆𝕐À’𝕤 𝔼𝕝𝕚𝕩𝕚𝕣𝕤 𝕒𝕣𝕖 𝕝𝕒𝕓𝕖𝕝𝕝𝕖𝕕 𝕒𝕤 “𝕙𝕖𝕣𝕓𝕒𝕝 𝕤𝕦𝕡𝕡𝕝𝕖𝕞𝕖𝕟𝕥𝕤”.

But our mission at JOYÀ is to create effective products that consumers can trust. When a product is regulated by the FDA as a “dietary (or herbal) supplement”: 🌿 it must be independently lab tested to confirm max allowable levels of certain heavy metals & microbes 🌿 the manufacturer must follow specified operational regulations and be registered to manufacture of dietary supplements 🌿 claims made about the product’s functional health benefits are regulated On the other hand, the requirements imposed on regular “food” products purporting to have medicinal properties are less stringent. PRO TIP: Confirm with brands whether they independently lab test their functional products ✅
