Adaptogen-focussed wellness brand The Herbtender has launched a premium organic herbal drops range to meet growing demand for innovative and convenient health and wellness products. 

Formulated by medical herbalist Schia Mitchell Sinclair, combining decades of herbal expertise with modern science, the new range brings together adaptogens, functional mushrooms and bioactive herbs in fast-absorbing liquid form, to support energy, focus, emotional balance and better sleep.

Liquid extracts are one of the most accessible ways to take herbs. With botanicals already dissolved into bioavailable compounds, drops offer fast absorption and flexible dosing. The drops are alcohol-free in an organic glycerine base, aimed at adding some sweetness to the herbal blend, with no flavourings or additives – making them suitable for teens and for use on the go. They can be dropped straight into the mouth or added to a splash of water, as part of a  daily wellness routine. 

Refined with real-world feedback
Tried and tested through three rounds of user trials involving over 150 participants, each version was refined based on feedback around reported effectiveness, usability, and overall experience, to get to the final formulas people consistently preferred in real-world use.

The Herbtender says the new drops are a natural addition to its range, building on its supplements and herbal teas offer. Made on a biodynamic farm in the English countryside using carefully sourced organic ingredients, the 30ml liquid extracts are 100% organic, alcohol-free with no additives or flavourings in a glycerine base.

With consumers demanding more innovative, convenient formats for their supplements and liquids projected to grow at 9.5% CAGR till 2030, The Herbtender sees a major opportunity for retailers to offer a more accessible premium alternative that aims to bring a fresh and modern approach to traditional herbal remedies.

Laura Neville, co-founder of The Herbtender, says: “Drops are a natural next step in our herbal journey. They are tasty, effective and perfectly portable – modern wisdom. Our drops are different. They are 100% organic, alcohol-free and expertly formulated for modern living. They offer a premium, fast-absorbing alternative for consumers looking for practical wellness support beyond capsules”.

Schia Mitchell Sinclair, chief herbalist, adds: “These drops have been a long time in the making, and it’s a genuinely exciting moment to finally bring them into the world. The formulations were developed with real intention, combining adaptogenic herbs, functional mushrooms, and traditional botanicals into synergistic blends (where multiple herbs work together for greater effect). The aim was to create blends that feel both purposeful and easy to integrate into everyday routines. After such a long journey, it’s a real joy to finally see them come to life.”
