Gaia Herbs: How do we love thee? Let us count the ways!
In today's crowded supplement market, finding a brand you can trust can feel overwhelming. At MaMa Jean’s, we're committed to bringing our customers the best options available, and when it comes to herbal supplements, Gaia Herbs really stands out.
Their mission statement says it all: "We hold ourselves—and everything we produce—accountable to the virtues of purity, integrity, and potency." It’s not just words; Gaia Herbs lives up to these ideals in every way.
Founded in 1986 by herbalist Ric Scalzo, Gaia Herbs began as a Certified Organic grower and maker of plant-based wellness solutions. The name "Gaia" comes from the ancient Greek Earth Mother Goddess. With respect for nature at its heart, the company follows a unique philosophy called "Plant Intelligence," which reflects their belief in the interconnectedness of plants and people.
Scalzo's vision for Gaia Herbs boils down to this equation: purity + integrity = potency. And they definitely deliver on all fronts.
PURITY
Gaia believes that every herb should grow according to nature’s design. That’s why they have their own farm, GaiaFarm, located in Brevard, North Carolina. GaiaFarm grows over five million Certified USDA Organic plants each year.
But Gaia Herbs doesn't rely solely on their own farm. They also work with Certified Organic growers around the world, including places like Aboca S.p.A. in Italy. These partnerships ensure that even if an herb isn't grown on GaiaFarm, it still meets the highest standards of quality and purity.
INTEGRITY
Quality control starts at GaiaFarm, where there’s an on-site testing lab. Here, herbs are tested for things like microbes, heavy metals, and pesticides. They also check for botanical identity and markers to confirm the herbs are pure and potent.
Even their manufacturing facilities are certified organic annually, ensuring that every step of production, including the cleaning supplies used, adheres to strict organic standards.
POTENCY
Gaia Herbs sets itself apart with innovative extraction methods that preserve the essence of each herb. Their Liquid Phyto-Caps offer incredible concentration—each cap equals as much as 75 drops of liquid extract! These capsules dissolve quickly in the bloodstream, making them easier to take than traditional liquid tinctures.
SUSTAINABILITY & TRANSPARENCY
Gaia Herbs is committed to sustainability too. Their products come in amber glass bottles, which protect the herbs from light and reduce exposure to harmful chemicals found in plastics. Plus, they’re recyclable, reducing environmental impact.
One of Gaia Herbs' most impressive initiatives is their "Meet Your Herbs" program. Launched in 2010, it allows customers to track every step of the growing, harvesting, and processing journey for any product. Just enter the unique ID number on the label into their online module, and you'll see exactly how your herbs were sourced and prepared.
IMPACT
Under Scalzo’s leadership, Gaia Herbs continues to educate and inspire through workshops and tours. Even someone like our own Melissa Henderson, who heads up the supplement department at MaMa Jean’s, is heading to North Carolina this summer to learn more about GaiaFarm and join in on training sessions.
At MaMa Jean’s, we’re big fans of Gaia Herbs because they think about every detail—from seed to shelf. If you’re looking for high-quality herbal supplements, consider giving Gaia Herbs a try. We recently added new items to our selection, including Organic Maca capsules, Organic Maca powder, and a handy breath freshener. Not every company puts as much effort into ensuring purity and potency as Gaia Herbs does. Next time you visit us, we’d love for you to explore their offerings further.
