Adaptogenic Apothecary, Chippenham (2025)

22/07/2025

Important notice: Harmony users

Our beautiful new sachets are here; you will see them coming over the next few weeks. Please notice one ingredient change: we’ve replaced baobab in our ovulation formula with *pomegranate* to further support your cycle during this vital phase.

Why pomegranate?
Pomegranate is rich in antioxidants and bioactive compounds that offer unique benefits, especially during ovulation:

- Hormonal Balance: Pomegranate helps regulate oestrogen and progesterone, supporting a healthy ovulatory window and cycle regularity.
- Antioxidant Power: Its high antioxidant content combats oxidative stress.
- Anti-inflammatory Effects: Pomegranate reduces inflammation, supporting a smoother ovulation phase.
- Cycle Support: Studies suggest pomegranate can improve menstrual regularity, and even support women with PCOS.

How does this work with our other ovulation ingredients?
Pomegranate joins shatavari, milk thistle, cordyceps, haskap berry, and Affron® saffron—a synergistic blend designed to:

- Support circulation and energy
- Support liver detoxification (vital for hormone metabolism)
- Balance blood sugar
- Nourish reproductive health for a vibrant, balanced ovulatory phase
- Our Ovulation formula works in perfect harmony with our Menstruation, Follicular and Luteal ingredients to give you a cycle that is optimised and balanced, grounded and in tune with your natural energies.

We’re committed to evolving Harmony with the latest research and your wellbeing at heart. Thank you for trusting us with your cycle support!

With love,
Jodie, Paris and Sara

Here at the Apothecary, we believe in honouring traditional wisdom and keeping our ingredients as close to their natural form as possible. That’s why we use whole, ground ashwagandha root—not concentrated extracts like KSM-66—in our blends.

Why whole root?
- It contains all the natural plant constituents in their original ratios, just as they’ve been used in Ayurveda for centuries.
- This purist approach means lower concentrations of active compounds (0.5–1.5% withanolides), making it gentler, safer, and less likely to cause adverse reactions.
- Using the whole root allows us to create food-based formulas that nourish and support your wellbeing, rather than high-strength supplements aimed at specific conditions.

While extracts like KSM-66 are highly concentrated, we choose the traditional, whole root for its synergy, safety, and alignment with how ashwagandha has always been used—for balance, resilience, and everyday vitality.

We’re committed to purity, tradition, and your holistic wellbeing—one scoop at a time.

Perimenopause & the Four Phases: Navigating an Amplified Cycle ✨

As we transition through perimenopause, our menstrual cycles can feel like they’re turning up the volume on every phase. The four phases - menstruation, follicular, ovulation, and luteal—are still present, but hormonal fluctuations can make each stage feel more intense, unpredictable, or drawn out. Often called the 'zone of chaos' we might notice some of the following changes:

- Menstruation: Heavier or lighter bleeds, more pronounced fatigue, and mood shifts.
- Follicular Phase: Energy may spike or crash unexpectedly, and cycle length can vary.
- Ovulation: Symptoms like breast tenderness or stretchy mucus may linger longer, sometimes without actual ovulation.
- Luteal Phase: PMS, mood swings, bloating, and sleep troubles can feel amplified.

This 'chaos' is due to oestrogen and progesterone levels changing more dramatically and in a more erratic, less predictable way.

Harmony, our award-winning, four-phase supplement provides targeted support for each stage of your cycle, smoothing the highs and lows of perimenopause and crucially supporting our nervous system. With clinically proven adaptogens and Affron®, Harmony helps balance hormones, improve mood, ease stress, and support restful sleep—so you can feel more in tune with your body, whatever phase you’re in.

Your cycle is still your superpower—let’s keep it harmonious.

🌙✨ S*x & Sleep: Are You Satisfied With Both?

Did you know there’s a beautiful connection between your sleep and your intimacy? When you sleep well, you wake up rested, recharged, and more open to connection with your partner. And when you share moments of intimacy, those feel-good hormones help you relax and drift into deeper, more restorative sleep. It’s a cycle—but what if you’re stuck in the wrong one, with poor sleep and low desire?

Here at theApothecary, we believe sleep and connection are sacred. That’s why we created 'Peace', our soothing bedtime drink designed to support the quality and length of your sleep. Because when you start with sleep, everything else flows.

For those looking to rekindle their spark, our multi award winning powders 'Harmony', 'Freedom', and 'Power' all include extract of Saffron (Affron)—clinically shown to support a healthy libido. And for an extra boost, 'Power' combines Cordyceps and Affron, working together to help you get your groove back!

Prioritize your rest. Nurture your connection. And let us help you create a cycle of vitality and joy—night after night.

We’re thrilled to announce that Adaptogenic Apothecary has been named a finalist in the Nourish Awards—the UK’s leading recognition for healthy food and supplement brands. This is for 'Freedom', our peri/menopause/post menopause supplement. All of our offerings were born from our own search for holistic, natural solutions to manage the physical and emotional changes of peri/menopause. Our firsthand experiences inspired a commitment to developing something genuinely supportive and trustworthy.

As a values-led, female-run business, we’re passionate about ingredient integrity and will never compromise on quality. This honour celebrates our commitment to natural ingredients, innovation, and creating supplements that truly nourish and support your wellbeing. Thank you for being part of our journey!

Loads of love

The Buck Full Moon is a great time to acknowledge the wild, wise rhythms of nature and of ourselves. 🌕

The Buck Moon symbolises a time when male deer begin to regrow their antlers, marking a season of renewal, strength, and growth. Across cultures, this moon is a beacon for transformation—a call to step into our power, set clear intentions, and nurture what matters most.

Here at the Apothecary, we embrace the Buck Moon’s energy as a guide for personal and collective flourishing. This is a moment to pause, reflect, and ask: 'What am I growing? What needs my protection to thrive?'

We hope that the Buck Moon inspires you to connect with your wild wisdom. We invite you today, to prepare your favourite adaptogens, step outside, and look up! Set intentions for growth, courage, and abundance—then watch as nature’s cycles support your journey.

Wishing you a potent, peaceful Buck Moon from all of us at the Apothecary.

A wise woman once told us: “Slowly is holy.”

Since embracing this gentle wisdom, every corner of our lives has improved. In work, in parenting, in friendships, and especially in the wild dance of midlife hormones and daily stresses—when we approach life with calm intention, everything flows better. No force, just flow. And, beautifully, more gets done.

Here at the Apothecary, this is our guiding light. Yes, machines could ramp up productivity, but the real magic is in the mindful intention and blessings infused as we hand-mix every batch. Yes, AI could answer your questions faster, but we cherish the personal touch and genuine connection that comes with every message.

Slowly really is holy. High quality is never rushed, never compromised. Thank you for being part of our slow, sacred journey. 💚✨
