Brands worth studying.
37 curated wellness brands across hemp, mushrooms, adaptogens, supplements, and more. Each profile breaks down what makes them notable and what founders can learn from them.
Plant medicine from root to ritual
Adriana Ayales built a brand on cultural authenticity — not just "natural" but specifically rooted in Caribbean and Latin American traditions. Hard to copy.
Plant medicine for modern wellness
Their quiz funnel converts at 3–4x the industry average for wellness. Personalization as acquisition strategy — almost every order starts with "what's your challenge?"
Oat milk lattes with adaptogens and mushrooms
One gifted Instagram post from Meghan Markle drove more brand awareness than a year of paid ads. Proof that earned media from the right person still changes trajectories.
:ryze to 1/7th the caffeine
Shane Heath's founder story (quitting coffee, building a ritual) became the brand. The product is almost secondary to the lifestyle identity they sell.
Adaptogens, nootropics, and beauty from the inside
Amanda Chantal Bacon polarized people with her wellness persona — and that controversy was marketing. Lesson: a clear POV creates devoted fans and profitable haters.
Herbal coffee alternative with adaptogens
Competing with coffee by not competing with coffee — they reframe the product entirely. A case study in how to enter a category dominated by a giant.
Premium adaptogenic superfoods
Positioned so premium they don't need to justify price — the packaging and retail location do the work. Pricing as a quality signal.
