About Gaia Herbs
Gaia Herbs was founded in 1987 and is based on a nearly 270-acre Regenerative Organic Certified farm in Brevard, North Carolina, where the company grows more than 5 million plants across 45 herb types each year. The farm achieved Regenerative Organic Certified (ROC) silver-level status from the Regenerative Organic Alliance in 2022, on top of its existing USDA Organic and Non-GMO Project Verified certifications, and Gaia Herbs has been a certified B Corporation since 2018. Its MeetYourHerbs traceability platform lets customers look up the origin of the herbs in a given bottle, backed by an ISO-certified in-house testing laboratory that checks purity and potency before anything ships.
The company's product line spans capsules, gummies, powders, syrups, and liquid extracts across categories including stress support, sleep, digestion, immune health, and women's and men's wellness. Gaia Herbs is best known in the industry for popularizing the Liquid Phyto-Cap, a capsule filled with a concentrated fresh-plant liquid extract rather than dried powder, a format designed to preserve more of an herb's original phytochemical profile than standard powdered capsules. That combination of farm-to-bottle traceability and a distinctive extraction method is what stood out most in our own testing of its ashwagandha formula.
