FAQ

General

For questions regarding orders, shipping, or returns, please visit our Orders & Shipping page.

What is an adaptogen?

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.

What is a superherb?

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.

What is a supermushroom?

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.

Is it ok to mix different dusts, proteins and pantry items together?

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.

Are your products organic?

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

Are your products vegan?

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

Are any of your ingredients clinically tested?

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.

Do you offer samples?

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

How does SuperYou work?

Ongoing stress can trigger harmful biochemical, physiological, and behavioral effects. In a high-stress moment, cortisol (the stress hormone) can alter or shut down functions that get in its way; including the digestive, reproductive, and immune systems.

SuperYou, a natural stress relief supplement, has 4 adaptogens that work through the HPA-Axis to help your body withstand emotional, physical, environmental stress and restore homeostasis. By helping normalize cortisol levels, these potent plants help improve mood, boost energy, reduce fatigue, and protect against oxidative stress.*

How soon should I expect to feel the effects of SuperYou?

Everybody is different, some people report feeling the effects within 30 or so minutes, while others find it takes a couple of weeks to start to feel the difference. A lot of our customers didn’t realize how much our natural stress relief supplement helps until they stop. Consistency is key – we find setting an alarm daily helps.

What's the best way and time to take SuperYou?

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. Remember, consistency is key.

Can I take SuperYou in the evening?

SuperYou has Rhodiola which can be energizing. Because of this, we recommend taking SuperYou in the AM for balanced energy throughout the day and Magnesi-Om for relaxation, brain health, and sleep.

How soon should I expect to feel the effects of SuperYou?

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!

Can I take all the Supers together?

Yes, in fact, we recommend it. All of our products are formulated in doses designed to be taken together. We recommend taking SuperYou and SuperBeauty in the AM, and SuperHair and SuperPower at any time.

SuperYou is daily stress management
SuperHair is hair nutrition
SuperBeauty is cellular skincare
SuperPower is immune support

How does SuperBeauty work?

An imbalance of free radicals and antioxidants causes oxidative stress. SuperBeauty, a beauty supplement, is our master antioxidant formula that’s clinically shown to help neutralize free radicals and promote collagen, elasticity, and cell vitality.*

Our SuperBeauty skin care capsules have the master antioxidant L-Glutathione plus Vitamin C + E to create an antioxidant recycling system. Glutathione works inside the mitochondria to help maintain healthy cellular function and structure and potentiates Vitamin C & E — so they’re able to neutralize more free radicals.* Vitamin C works inside the cell to help protect the hydrophilic components. Our Vitamin E is the most bioavailable and works on the lipid layer of your cells to help protect from free radicals.

All of the individual ingredients in our magnesium powder supplement are tested for identity and microbiological safety, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Then the finished product is tested again at a third party lab. Not only do they meet our own strict standards, they also comply with CA prop 65 limits which are the lowest limits in the nation.

Yes! All of our Supers are vegan and tested for pesticides, heavy metals, microbiological content and more.

What is the difference between SuperBeauty and SuperPower? They both have lots of Vitamin C, right?

Think of SuperBeauty, a beauty supplement, as an antioxidant complex for your skin and cells, and think of SuperPower as a potent immune complex.

SuperBeauty has 45mg Vitamin C from Acerola berry to help neutralize free radicals, whereas SuperPower has 900mg of Liposomal Vitamin C – cells require high doses of C to initiate the first line of defense.

Can I take all the Supers together?

Yes, in fact, we recommend it. All of our products are formulated in doses designed to be taken together. We recommend taking SuperYou and SuperBeauty in the AM, and SuperHair and SuperPower at any time.

Does SuperBeauty have calories? Does it break an intermittent fast?

Our Supers contain a negligible amount of calories (less than 1 per serving) and won’t break your fast.

Is the packaging sustainable?

The bottle of beauty capsules is 100% glass, recyclable, and reusable. Our boxes are recyclable, FSC certified, and sourced from responsibly managed forests. Our refill packs are 100% compostable.

How is SuperHair different from other hair supplements?

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.

Additionally, SuperHair hair multivitamin is vegan whereas 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.

How does SuperHair work?

SuperHair is a 4-prong approach to address the primary ways your system is compromised and meet you where you’re at. The 21 ingredients in SuperHair take a biodynamic approach to healthy hair:

  • targeting stress with adaptogens,
  • replenishing nutritional deficiencies,
  • providing follicle protection, and
  • boosting critical hair micronutrients.

We obsessively sourced our ingredients for this hair nutrition product – highly potent and bioactive for maximum absorption, organic whenever possible, pharmacopeial grade, and always best in class. A potent complex of bioavailable and bioactive multi-vitamins, minerals, plant extracts, and hair essentials combine to promote healthier, thicker, stronger hair.*

Is it best to take in the AM or PM?

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

How long does it take for our hair supplements to work?

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.

Should I also take my multivitamin?

Nope, SuperHair hair nutrition supplement is a multivitamin! 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.

Can I take all the Supers together?

Yes, in fact, we recommend it. All of our products are formulated in doses designed to be taken together. We recommend taking SuperYou and SuperBeauty in the AM, and SuperHair and SuperPower at any time.

How is SuperHair tested?

All of the individual ingredients in our hair supplement are tested for identity and microbiological safety, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Then the finished product is tested again at a third party lab. Not only do they meet our own strict standards, they also comply with CA prop 65 limits which are the lowest limits in the nation.

Is SuperHair vegan?

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.

Can men use SuperHair? Does SuperHair help with male pattern baldness?

Yes! Moon Juice is for everybody. SuperHair targets a primary cause of male pattern baldness with saw palmetto and pumpkin seed. Both have been clinically shown to inhibit the hair destructive hormone DHT.

Will I feel a difference taking SuperPower?

One of the biggest misconceptions is if you get a cold, or a runny nose, your immune system is not working. Symptoms like a runny nose or a cough are signs your immune system is working. The key is a balanced immune system which manifests as symptoms that are not severe and don't last long.

SuperPower, an immune health vitamin, has 4 immune fundamentals to give your body the support it needs. If you’re aware of how your body typically responds when you’re sick, you may notice that symptoms are less severe and your body can recover more quickly. Please ensure you are addressing the other factors that can compromise immunity to ensure you are getting the best results.

Isn’t Vitamin D3 better than Vitamin D2?

The bioavailability of vitamin D2 (in SuperPower) compared with the bioavailability of vitamin D3 (animal sourced) has been found to be equally effective in raising and maintaining blood levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in humans. Only when the dose is much beyond the upper tolerable intake (50,000IU +) is there a difference in conversion.

Doesn't Liposomal Vitamin C have to be encapsulated to work?

There are many types of liposomal technologies that improve delivery of a given material. SuperPower immune support capsules uses a patented dehydrate powder that when introduced to a liquid environment, assembles a micellar like structure of phospholipids around the L-ascorbic acid and increases bioavailability as it circulates in the digestive tract.

Why is it only a 10-day supply?

We formulated SuperPower to support your immune system when compromised, or you can choose to take it daily for maintenance.

Can I take all the Supers together?

Yes, in fact, we recommend it. All of our products are formulated in doses designed to be taken together. We recommend taking SuperYou and SuperBeauty in the AM, and SuperHair and SuperPower at any time.

How is SuperPower tested?

All of the individual ingredients in our immune support vitamins are tested for identity and microbiological safety, heavy metals, and other contaminants. Then the finished product is tested again at a third party lab. Not only do they meet our own strict standards, they also comply with CA prop 65 limits which are the lowest limits in the nation.

What are the actives in Magnesi-Om?

3 bioavailable forms of Magnesium in our powder: a chelated magnesium 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.

How is Magnesi-Om tested?

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. Not only do they meet our own strict standards, they also comply with CA prop 65 limits which are the lowest limits in the nation.

What does it taste like and what makes it pink?

Our calming magnesium powder tastes like mixed berries. Made from 100% natural and organic ingredients. The pink color is from beet powder.

When will I feel the effects?

Some are immediate, others long term. You should feel relaxation benefits within a few hours after taking the natural magnesium powder supplement. 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.*

How do I take Magnesi-Om?

Make our vegan magnesium supplement, Magnesi-Om, 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.

Why do you use natural flavors in Magnesi-Om®?

Natural flavors are a sustainable and consistent way to achieve a flavor profile. Our natural berry flavor is proprietary, however, it’s sourced primarily from raspberries and contains other fruit, vegetable and herb constituents. We use an ingredient supplier that provides transparency on the natural materials used.

Where is your citric acid derived from?

It’s created through fermentation. NON-GMO corn is used solely as the food source in the fermentation process for our production of Magnesi-Om. It is then tested to ensure 100% purity with no traces of corn or 50+ other allergens.

Can I take Ting with other supplements that contain B?

We formulate Ting in doses designed to be taken with other Moon Juice products, so you can take it in conjunction with SuperHair. We recommend consulting your doctor to determine how much B vitamins you should be taking.

The body cannot store most B Vitamins (aside from B12 & B9), so the excess is excreted through the urine. Once replenished, B12 stores can last last upwards of 3 years and B9 can last four months without daily supplementation.

Can I take too many B vitamins?

Due to their low toxicity, the upper daily limits of B1, B2, B5, and B12 have not been established. However, the UL has been established for B3, B6, & B9 so you should not have more than 1 serving of Ting daily as to not exceed the UL of B9.

Vitamin Amount per serving UL
Niacin (B3) 3.4 mg 35 mg
Pyridoxine (B6) 2 mg 100 mg
Folate (B9) 970 mcg 1000 mcg *

*an upper limit for folic acid is set at 1,000 mcg daily because studies have shown that taking higher amounts can mask a vitamin B12 deficiency. (Source: Harvard School of Public Health)

 

Why does Ting contain 1500 mcg of Methylcobalamin (B12)?

We included 1,500 mcg of Methylcobalamin in Ting because clinical studies showed that high oral doses of Methylcobalamin are as effective as intramuscular injections in achieving blood and nervous system responses.

How does it affect mood?

Ginseng is an adaptogen that works through the HPA axis to support the nervous system, and B vitamins are needed for serotonin, dopamine, and GABA production! So it’s not just great for energy; it’s great for mood support too.

How is this different from the lypospheric B?

Ting contains higher doses of B Vitamins that were carefully sourced to ensure sustainability and bioavailability. Our B-Complex is extracted from Organic Guava and Tulsi grown on a farm in Southern India. Our B12 uses an environmentally friendly methylation agent that is safe and non-toxic. Ting also has the added benefit of adaptogenic Ginseng to support cognitive function.

Ting vs. Power Dust?

Power Dust is an herbal and adaptogenic blend – it works on a different biological channel to support energy. Power Dust works with the HPA Axis and stress chemistry, whereas Ting works with the body’s inherent energy production system to help support metabolism, mood, and energy.

If I just take B12 will I still get energy?

You'll get some energy, but B’s work best when taken together. Research shows most people experiencing a deficiency in 1 or more B vitamins would benefit from full-spectrum support.

My jar has two desiccants, is this normal?

Yes! Ting can absorb moisture over time, so we added an additional desiccant to help keep Ting fresher for longer. Moisture absorption can cause changes in consistency, however, it does not affect the potency.

My Ting is hard/has clumps. Is it ok to use?

Yes! Ting can absorb moisture over time which can cause changes in consistency, however, it does not affect the potency.

Skin Care

Can Collagen Protect be used in hot drinks?

Absolutely! We recommend using a blender to fully mix our plant-based collagen powder and make your collagen recipes smooth and creamy.

What is the difference between Blue Beauty and Collagen Protect?

Blue Beauty has bio fermented protein and adaptogens to help support skin clarity, where Collagen Protect, vegan collagen powder, is 3 ingredients that hydrates skin from the inside out to protect from collagen breakdown.

How much collagen is in Collagen Protect?

There are no actual collagen peptides in our vegan collagen supplement. Consisting of only three ingredients (tocos, silver ear mushroom & edible hyaluronic acid) our formula focuses on improving the body's natural collagen production.

How much hyaluronic acid and silver ear mushroom is there per serving?

Edible hyaluronic acid is included at 120mg per serving while silver ear mushroom is included at 2450mg per serving.

Is this the same thing as SuperBeauty? Can I take them together with any of your other products?

While many of our supplements may seem to have overlapping benefits, each product is expertly formulated to target specific ways stress manifests in the body. Think of SuperBeauty as a master antioxidant complex that works inside the cell to neutralize free radicals and protect your skin from accelerated aging. Collagen Protect is a vegan creamer and skin supplement formulated to provide your skin with hydration from the inside out. This helps minimize fine lines and nourish the existing collagen naturally present in the skin. Use our Cosmic Cream (which has the same three ingredients) to nourish the skin from the outside in!

We’ve formulated our products in doses designed to be taken together. You can feel free to take Collagen Protect, plant based collagen powder, with our Supers, Dusts, and Magnesi-Om too!

How is Collagen Protect tested?

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. Not only do they meet our own strict standards, they also comply with CA prop 65 limits which are the lowest limits in the nation.

Is Acid Potion safe for acne prone skin?

Acne prone skin benefits from liquid 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.

Does Acid Potion increase photosensitivity?

Yes, please always wear SPF if you are using Acid Potion BHA liquid exfoliant. 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.

Is Acid Potion OK to use with a Retin-A treatment for acne?

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

How do I use Acid Potion?

Depending on your skin type, use our liquid exfoliator 1-3 nights in a row or every night. Shake into palm and apply onto clean face/neck with fingertips. Don’t rinse! Follow with Plump Jelly.

Is Acid Potion a toner?

Nope. Acid Potion is a chemical exfoliator – think of it as a liquid facial. It shouldn’t be used in place of a toner. It should be used on clean skin and follow it up with something hydrating after like Plump Jelly.

Is Acid Potion okay for someone with mature, dry, or sensitive skin?

Yes! Mature skin needs regular exfoliation. Use it 1-3 nights a week on clean skin. Don’t rise! Follow with a hydrating serum like Plump Jelly and a moisturizer like Cosmic Cream for emollient fatty acids to improve elasticity and lines.

When + how do I apply Acid Potion?

We suggest applying our Acid Potion to your freshly cleansed face/neck with fingertips. Don’t rinse, then follow it up with Plump Jelly or Cosmic Cream.

What is the concentration percentage of the acids in Acid Potion?

25% represents acid to the total volume of our Acid Potion, so the mixture of the following 5 acids makes up this percentage:

Glycolic Acid >10% Phytic Acid >8% Lactic Acid >5% Salicylic Acid <0.5% Citric Acid <0.5%

Is Plump Jelly safe for acne prone skin?

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

What percentage of the Plump Jelly formula is hyaluronic acid?

Our Plump Jelly hydrating face serum is a proprietary blend that includes natural hyaluronic acid and peptides which work together synergistically to hydrate around cells. Beet amino acid and silver ear mushroom deliver water into cells and lock it in for elasticity and bounce.

Is Plump Jelly good for oily skin?

Yes! When skin cells are dehydrated, it's quite common for the body to compensate by producing more oil. Our Plump Jelly hyaluronic serum can help combat this with Silver Ear Mushroom and Hyaluronic Acid, both of which hold 500 times their cellular weight in water! We also recommend following up with our Cosmic Cream for best results.

When + how should I apply Plump Jelly?

AM + PM. Apply 3 pumps of serum immediately onto cleansed skin or after Acid Potion. Follow up with Cosmic Cream to lock in moisture.

What makes Plump Jelly adaptogenic?

Our Plump Jelly formula includes Reishi to help protect skin against stressors, reducing the signs of inflammaging, supporting skin’s resilience and helping to improve barrier function.

What kind of mushrooms specifically do you use in your skincare products?

We use adaptogenic reishi and silver ear mushroom.

What is the pH of Milk Cleanse?

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.

Does Milk Cleanse take makeup off?

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.

Is Acid Potion safe for acne prone 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.

Is Plump Jelly safe for acne prone skin?

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

I have oily skin, will Cosmic Cream make me break out?

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.

I have blemish prone skin, will Milk Cleanse and Cosmic Cream work for me?

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.

What order should I use these products in my daily skincare routine?

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.

Is your skincare made in a nut-free facility?

Yes!

Is your skincare cruelty free?

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

Can Collagen Protect be used in hot drinks?

Moon Dust

What is Moon Dust?

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.

How are Moon Dust ingredients sourced?

  • 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.

How are Moon Dust blends formulated?

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.

How are the plants Moon Juice uses extracted and tested?

  • 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.

How frequently should I Dust?

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.

How quickly should I expect to see results from Moon Dust?

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.

Can I overdo the Dust?

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.

What are the best ways to incorporate Moon Dust into my daily routine?

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.

Are Moon Dusts safe if I have a medical condition?

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.

Are Moon Dusts safe for children?

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

Are Moon Dusts safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding?

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.

Do Moon Dusts harden in transit or over time?

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!

What differentiates Moon Dusts from other herbal products on the market?

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.

When do Moon Dusts expire?

Dusts have a shelf-life of about 2 years.

Are Moon Dust jars filled to the top?

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

Are Moon Dusts permitted on planes?

Yes! Dusts love to travel and see the world.

Are Moon Dust jars reusable?

Yes – please reuse the jars!

Why doesn't my Moon Dust completely dissolve?

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!

Do all of the Moon Dusts contain adaptogens?

Yes! All of our Moon Dusts contain adaptogens.

Can I mix different Moon Dusts together?

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

Are the Moon Dusts vegan?

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

Yes! Place orders by calling or visiting your local Moon Juice shop 2 weeks in advance. If you need something more quickly, call us, we’ll do our best to accommodate you. Don’t see what you’re looking for? Let us customize a package for you.

Delivery can be arranged for an additional fee. We’ll provide a quote based on your location when you order. Otherwise, you can specify a date and time to pick up from one of our shops. Check out our Visit Us page for the full menu and our stores contact info.

Will Moon Juice donate to my charitable cause?

We carefully evaluate every donation request and donate to a wide range of organizations in our local community and beyond. While we can't say yes to everyone, we look forward to reviewing your request. Requests must be made at least two weeks before the event, preferably earlier. Please email marketing@moonjuice.com with details.

Safety is our priority, and we work with a doctor who is a Certified Food Scientist (CFS), a Fellow at the American College of Nutrition (FACN), Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Dietary Supplements, and an expert in nutritional supplements on all of our supplement formulas. As always, we recommend that you always speak with your doctor or healthcare provider before starting a new dietary regimen, which includes vitamins and supplements.
