Ingredients

This page is the whole list. Every ingredient in the Evopure range, what it is, where it comes from and why it is in the formula. We describe ingredients by what they are and how they are used, not by what we would like them to do. Where a UK authority publishes guidance or an authorised claim, we link to it.

All Evopure products are food supplements or cosmetics, not medicines. Do not exceed the stated dose. A supplement is not a substitute for a varied, balanced diet. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or have a medical condition, speak to your GP or pharmacist before taking CBD or any new supplement.

The hemp side

Broad-spectrum CBD

Cannabis sativa L. (industrial hemp)

Cannabidiol is one of over a hundred cannabinoids in the hemp plant. A broad-spectrum extract keeps CBD alongside the plant’s other minor cannabinoids and terpenes, but has the THC removed, so every Evopure batch tests at 0% THC. Our extract comes from industrial hemp and every batch is verified by an independent UK laboratory for cannabinoid content, heavy metals, pesticides and residual solvents before it goes into a bottle.

CBD is regulated in Great Britain as a novel food. The Food Standards Agency guidance on CBD advises healthy adults not to take more than 10mg of CBD a day, and not to take it at all if pregnant, breastfeeding or on medication. Every Evopure label states the CBD per dose so you can stay within that guidance.

Find it in: Broad Spectrum CBD Oil and Flow and Sleep and Relief and CBD Capsules and CBD Balm and the Evolabs oils.

Terpenes

Terpenes are the aromatic compounds that give plants their smell and taste: the citrus in lemon peel, the pine in a forest, the pepper in black pepper. Hemp makes them too, and a broad-spectrum extract keeps some of them. We also blend named terpenes into three of the oils so the taste and character of each formula is deliberate rather than accidental. All are food-grade, plant-derived and declared on the label.

• Energise blend (in Flow): citral, phellandrene, terpineol and beta-ocimene. Bright and citrus-led, with a natural honey and lemon note.
• Relax blend (in Sleep): myrcene, caryophyllene, terpinolene and alpha-pinene. Earthy and herbal with a faint citrus lift.
• Repair blend (in Relief): limonene, caryophyllene, humulene and alpha-pinene. Warm, peppery and green.

Botanicals

Ashwagandha

Withania somnifera

A small evergreen shrub grown across India and parts of Africa. The root has been used in Ayurvedic tradition for centuries and is one of the plants usually described as an adaptogen, a traditional term for herbs taken to support the body’s response to everyday stress. We use a standardised root extract so the amount in each dose of Flow is consistent from batch to batch.

Ashwagandha is not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. If you take thyroid, sedative or immunosuppressant medication, check with your pharmacist before use.

Find it in: Flow.

Maca

Lepidium meyenii

A root vegetable from the high Andes of Peru, related to radish and cress, that has been grown and eaten there for around two thousand years. It is dried and milled into a nutty, malty powder and traditionally taken as an everyday food for vitality. Flow uses a root extract; Reishi Cacao uses the whole-root powder for flavour and body.

Find it in: Flow and Reishi Cacao.

Passion flower

Passiflora incarnata

A climbing vine native to the Americas with a long history of use in evening herbal blends and teas. For Sleep CBD Oil we infuse the whole herb into the MCT base oil in-house rather than buying in a finished extract, so the oil carries the plant’s own character. The Magnesium Sleep Complex uses a concentrated 4:1 extract.

Find it in: Sleep and Magnesium Sleep Complex.

Turmeric

Curcuma longa

The golden rhizome of a plant in the ginger family, grown mainly in India and South East Asia and used as a food and spice for thousands of years. Its colour comes from curcuminoids, the compounds a standardised turmeric extract is measured by. Curcuminoids are fat-soluble and poorly absorbed on their own, which is why turmeric is traditionally taken with fat and black pepper. Relief carries a standardised extract in MCT oil alongside black pepper extract for exactly that reason.

Find it in: Relief.

Black pepper

Piper nigrum

The dried fruit of a flowering vine, and the most traded spice in the world. Black pepper extract is standardised for piperine, the compound responsible for its heat, and it is included in Relief because piperine is widely used in supplement formulation alongside curcumin. It is a small amount, there for the formula rather than the taste.

Find it in: Relief.

Reishi

Ganoderma lucidum

A glossy, fan-shaped woody mushroom that grows on hardwood trees across Asia and has been used in Chinese and Japanese tradition for more than two thousand years, where it is known as lingzhi. Too tough and bitter to eat as a food, it is taken as an extract. Reishi Cacao pairs a reishi extract with organic cacao and coconut so it drinks like a hot chocolate.

Find it in: Reishi Cacao.

Chamomile

Matricaria chamomilla

The daisy-like flower behind one of the most widely drunk herbal teas in Europe. The Magnesium Sleep Complex includes a 4:1 flower extract as part of its evening botanical blend.

Find it in: Magnesium Sleep Complex.

Hops

Humulus lupulus

The cone-shaped flowers of the hop plant, better known for brewing. Hops have been used in European herbal tradition for centuries, usually in evening blends alongside passion flower and chamomile. The Magnesium Sleep Complex uses a 4:1 extract.

Find it in: Magnesium Sleep Complex.

Oat straw

Avena sativa

The green stem and leaf of the common oat plant, harvested before the grain ripens and dried. A traditional European herbal ingredient, included in the Magnesium Sleep Complex as a 10:1 extract.

Find it in: Magnesium Sleep Complex.

Cacao

Theobroma cacao

Raw, organic cacao powder: the cocoa bean fermented, dried and cold-pressed to remove most of the fat, without the roasting or alkalising used for commercial cocoa. It is the base of Reishi Cacao and the reason it tastes like a proper hot chocolate rather than a mushroom tea. Cacao naturally contains a small amount of caffeine and theobromine.

Find it in: Reishi Cacao.

Peppermint, eucalyptus and juniper berry

Mentha piperita, Eucalyptus globulus, Juniperus communis

The three essential oils in the CBD Balm. Peppermint gives the first cooling sensation on the skin, eucalyptus keeps that fresh, camphor-like note going, and juniper berry adds an earthy, woody finish. They sit in a base of plant oils and waxes that carry the broad-spectrum CBD. No synthetic fragrance, no parabens. For external use only; do not use on broken skin.
