Importantly, we want to assure all our customers and partners that this incident has caused no disruption to our core operations or services.

Recently crowned with the prestigious 2023 Taste For Life Essentials Award in the Thyroid Support Category, ThyroNourish provides the body with the necessary nutritional means to support optimal thyroid balance.

]]>It has been scientifically proven that there is a strong link between gut health and overall well-being, including mental and emotional health. The gut-brain connection refers to communication between the digestive and central nervous systems. The gut is sometimes called the "second brain" due to its network of neurons, also known as the enteric nervous system. This system can operate independently of the brain and send signals to it, affecting the brain's ability to regulate mood, stress, and other aspects of mental health. On the other hand, the brain can also send signals to the gut, influencing digestive function and motility. This connection highlights the importance of maintaining a healthy gut and its impact on the entire body and mind.
Intelligut™ is a highly effective and natural solution for people looking to improve their digestive health and support brain function. In addition to gut-supporting probiotics, this unique formula includes herbs such as Gotu Kola, Andrographis, Ginkgo Biloba, & Lemon Balm, traditionally used to support brain health. This combination of ingredients makes Intelligut™ a comprehensive and effective mental and digestive support solution.
The recognition from the 2023 Taste for Life Supplement Essentials Award confirms RidgeCrest Herbals' commitment to providing high-quality and effective natural health products. We are proud of our strong reputation for our ability to eclectically blend traditional herbal remedies and cutting-edge research to create safe and effective supplements. With the win for Intelligut™, RidgeCrest Herbals continues to set a high standard for the natural supplement industry and demonstrates our dedication to improving people's health and well-being.

But like an office job, there can be some health risks associated with the work involved. That is why RidgeCrest Herbals is thrilled that our partner, OmniActive Technologies, has won the prestigious NutraIngredients Sports Nutrition Ingredient of the Year Award for their product, Lutemax 2020 - which can be found in RidgeCrest Herbals’ Essential Eyes™ product.
The strain of blue light from our electronics affects everyone, especially people who spend their work day in front of a screen. Blue Blocking Glasses and dark modes can help fight eye strain, but many people don’t know that there are specific nutrients that benefit eye health that you can use to supplement your eyes from the inside, as well.
Award-winning, globally-recognized Lutemax 2020 is a naturally-derived marigold extract providing all three macular carotenoids: lutein and zeaxanthin isomers (RR-and RS [meso]-zeaxanthin). Lutemax 2020 is formulated at the same 5:1 ratio as found in nature to optimize eye health. The body doesn’t produce lutein and zeaxanthin, and their specialized locations and functions emphasize the need to consume all three macular carotenoids through diet or supplementation.
There are hundreds of carotenoids, but only two are located in the human eye - lutein, and zeaxanthin. These aren’t produced by the human body and must be ingested, but the Western diet is severely lacking in this area. Carotenoids help the body filter blue light and defend the eye from oxidative stress.
It’s no wonder that Lutemax 2020 has become popular among the gaming community. You can try Essential Eyes™ here!
Lutemax 2020 just WON the NutraIngredients Sports Nutrition Ingredient of the Year Award
The judges chose Lutemax 2020 because of its ability to benefit the fast-growing community of gamers and esports athletes by supporting:
That is why RidgeCrest Herbals is happy to be on the Taste For Life Magazine’s list of Back-to-School Essentials, winning an award for Vision Support for our Essential Eyes™product.
Essential Eyes™ is an industry-leading formula that has been widely celebrated for its innovative approach to macular health. In 2017, we were awarded the prestigious Nexty Award, for the best new condition-specific supplement, and this is the second award Essential Eyes™ has received from Taste For Life Magazine. That’s three awards for this product in the past five years, and RidgeCrest Herbals’ 30th industry award since 2014.
Part of what makes Essential Eyes™ so successful is Lutemax 2020©, a patented, award-winning eye-support ingredient sourced from marigolds, which contains Lutein, Zeaxanthin and Meso-Zeaxanthins in a 5:1 ratio. Designed to increase circulation to the eye and provide it with crucial nutrients to support regeneration and eye health, Essential Eyes™ acts as internal “sunglasses” for the macula’s constant exposure to blue light from technology. For more information on this ingredient and to learn about the dangers of overexposure to electronics, visit www.bluelightexposed.com.
In addition to Lutemax 2020©, Essential Eyes™ contains wild yam root, Asiatic dogwood fruit, poria fungal body, and Zeanxanthin Isomers. Here’s a bit more information on those amazing ingredients:
Wild Yam Root: This root contains steroidal saponins, which studies have shown may help protect the body from free radicals. This can be beneficial for the eyes as blue light damage can increase free radicals.
Asiatic Dogwood Fruit: This fruit is gaining popularity as a supplement because of its tonic, hepatoprotective properties. It is rich in antioxidants which have beneficial effects for eye health, as lower antioxidant levels in the eyes may be linked to age-related vision decline.
Poria Fungal Body: Poria, which contains multiple vitamins and other nutrients essential to healthy cardiac function and blood circulation, helps balance electrolytes and revitalizes the spleen to help support the immune system and help it function properly.
Zeaxanthin Isomers: There are hundreds of carotenoids, but only two located in the human eye - lutein and zeaxanthin. Carotenoids help the body filter blue light and defend the eye from oxidative stress.
We look forward to whatever comes next for this great product! You can learn more about EssentialEyes by visiting www.rcherbals.com/essentialeyes or calling 1-800-242-4649.
]]>The New Hampshire-based Taste For Life Magazine has announced it’s 2021 Supplement Essentials Award, one of which is RidgeCrest Herbals’ our ClearLungs Extra Strength for Respiratory Support. Our ClearLungs Extra Strength formula has never won an award before, but it now joins the rest of the ClearLungs family, adding the eleventh ward for the group and RidgeCrest Herbals’ 22nd award total.
The ClearLungs formula is Ridgecrest Herbals’ premier product and holds a special place in our heart as the one that started it all back in the ’90s. For years it has been the #1 natural product in the country for lung health, which just goes to show how effective Traditional Chinese Medicine can be. The basis of this formula dates back 2,000 years! In TCM, the lungs are considered the “Upper Source of Water” and Qi flows downward from the lungs. If the lungs fall out of balance, symptoms of stuffy chest, cough, asthma, or signs of water stagnation (phlegm, urinary problems, edema, etc.) occur. To treat this, bitter herbs are used to encourage downward flow, and warming herbs increase circulation to the lungs to increase heat. The respiratory system is closely related to the spleen and kidneys, so the formula is designed to support all three systems. This formula can be taken with our Airway Clear for additional support.
The Extra Strength formula contains 50% more than the regular ClearLungs Formula for periods when you need extra support, and it also contains Availablend, our patented blend of peppers to increase bioavailability.
]]>RidgeCrest Herbals’ Marketing Director, Nichole Petersen, says “Our choice to combine ever-popular curcumin with other herbs to support comfort is proving itself every day as we see people benefit from our product.”
This award comes at a crucial time as the Baby Boomer generation, which shapes all market trends, begins to actively seek out mobility products. Director of Sales Chris Herbert says, “Proactively maintaining joint mobility is a fantastic way to stretch our Quality of Life into our later years. Our product is helping people every day, and we thank Taste For Life for including us in this year’s awards.”
PhysiQOL™ is an award-winning, non-habit-forming, all-natural formula designed to help manage everyday muscle comfort and joint mobility on multiple levels. It can help reduce inflammation due to extreme exercise and physical overexertion because it contains an eclectic variety of effective ingredients used in Ayurvedic Medicine, TCM, and Western Herbalism.
Nestled in the shadow of the Wasatch Mountains, Ridgecrest Herbals brings effective, eclectic, innovative botanical blends drawn from ancient global traditions to U.S. consumers. Seller of the #1 selling natural lung product ClearLungs, RidgeCrest Herbals has been helping you “Reach Your Peak” since 1994.
]]>“SinusClear is a product I use regularly for myself and my family,” says Nichole Petersen, RidgeCrest Herbals’ marketing director. “I have seen the benefits personally, and know it’s a great product, which is why I am excited it attracted the notice of Taste For Life Magazine.”
“Many people are very familiar with our ClearLungs® line of products” says Chris Herbert, Director of Sales. “But we have other fantastic herbal blends that can benefit customers when they need support. I’m hopeful this award will remind people to explore all the options our company provides.”
Ridgecrest Herbals’ SinusClear® is specially formulated to help support the body’s ability to keep nasal passages and airways clear. Packed with herbs to dry and soothe the throat and nasal passages, SinusClear® stands apart from the crowd with its unique approach. It helps clear sinus passages by soothing tissues and membranes, balances mucous levels, and supports the immune system. This formula can be used in conjunction with ClearLungs® if needed.
]]>We’re excited to add this award for DreamOn™ Zen to our list of accomplishments. RidgeCrest Herbals’ 19 products have collectively won a total of 29 awards and counting, including a Nexty Award and two Vity Awards. We’re excited to see what’s next!
“Many women who experience hair loss have no idea that there is anything they can do to support healthy hair. Hair ReVive helps support women in times of stress and we’ve seen this product gain a strong following among beauty influencers.” says Nichole Petersen, RidgeCrest Herbals’ marketing director. “We know that Hair ReVive is a great product and helps many women feel more confident as they go through their day.
This award comes at a crucial time when, more than ever, stress can contribute to poor diet and unhealthy coping mechanisms. “We are honored to receive the Best of Supplements Award.” says Chris Herbert, Director of Sales. “We are proud of all of our products, and Hair ReVive in particular is unique in its approach to this common issue.”
Hair ReVive™ a unique and powerful combination of nutrients, herbs, and bioflavonoids that work together for female hair support. Female hair loss can occur at any age, especially after traumatic or intense experiences or periods of stress. Hair goes through cycles of rest, shedding, and growth. Scientific studies have shown that proper nutrition can help encourage the growth cycle to start sooner and last longer. Hair ReVive™ supports the nutritional aspects within the body of cleansing follicles, fighting stress, and promoting healthy hair growth. The nutritional formula includes biotin, silica, herbs, bioflavonoids, and vitamins and minerals. It can take up to two months of regular supplementation to see results, so we offer a two-bottle guarantee.
]]>We are thrilled, therefore, that ClearLungs Immune has made the New Hampshire-based Taste For Life Magazine’s 2021 Back to School Essentials Award in the Respiratory Support category.
This is the 5th award for ClearLungs® Immune, the 11th award for the ClearLungs® family of products, and RidgeCrest Herbals’ 26th industry award.
]]>RidgeCrest Herbals’ ClearLungs® Immune is our most celebrated product, taking the original ClearLungs® Formula and supplementing herbs for immune support for when lung concerns are connected to immune function. We are thrilled, therefore, that ClearLungs Immune has made the New Hampshire-based Taste For Life Magazine’s 2021 Back to School Essentials Award in the Respiratory Support category.
This is the 5th award for ClearLungs® Immune, the 11th award for the ClearLungs® family of products, and RidgeCrest Herbals’ 26th industry award.
“We love this product because so often the issues that our ClearLungs® product addresses relate to the immune system,” says Nichole Petersen, RidgeCrest Herbals’ marketing director, “We know that supporting immune function goes hand in hand with lung health, so we are glad our formula has received such amazing recognition for the many ways it can benefit customers.”
This award comes at a crucial time when, as we move indoors for the cooler weather, immune support is more important than any other season. Our ClearLungs® Immune formula contains the traditional ClearLungs® Formula of 13 TCM herbs, with the addition of Vitamins C and A, Zinc, and Copper to nutritionally support immune function. An additional immune-supporting complex including Ayurvedic and adaptogenic herbs round out the formula, capped off with our patented Availablend, designed to increase the bioavailability of other herbs.
RidgeCrest Herbals based ClearLungs® Original on a remedy of thirteen ingredients effectively used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for nearly 2,000 years. The ClearLungs® Immune product is part of RidgeCrest Herbals’ ClearLungs® Family, including ClearLungs® Original, ClearLungs® Extra Strength, ClearLungs® Immune, and ClearLungs® Sport.
This is why we are proud to announce a new award for our product, from the New Hampshire-based Taste For Life Magazine, which has announced it’s Women’s Essential Award for Fall of 2021. RidgeCrest Herbals is thrilled to have Gladder Bladder™ included in the category of Urinary Tract Support. This is the first award Gladder Bladder™ has received, and is the 25th award for a RidgeCrest Herbals product.

Gladder Bladder™ contains a patented berry extract, PacCranⓇ, designed to support the kidneys, bladder, and lymph system as well as the urinary tract. Other ingredients such as dandelion root, urva ursi, and parsley have multiple studies indicating their ability to help support a healthy microbial balance in the urinary tract and promote healthy urine flow (to help keep things clean internally). Our Gladder Bladder™ can be taken for comfort when in need, or daily for maintenance - if you need fast support it is recommended to take 6 capsules daily for 10 days then continue to work through the bottle at the normal dosage until gone.
