Apothékary earns mixed reviews: many say the tinctures and blends like Wine Down, Take the Edge Off, Mind Over Matter, Blue Me Away, and Chill the F* Out deliver real relaxation, focus, and alcohol-free wind-downs, while others report unpleasant tastes, clumpy powders that don’t dissolve, and occasional headaches or no effect. Reviews also flag recurrent customer-service and subscription issues, with some citing severe reactions, making the brand effective for many but risky for sensitive users and frustrating if problems arise.
AI summary based on Thingtesting reviews
I'm not a wine person particularly, but I did like taking this brand's Wine Down to help me sleep at night. I do feel that the product itself is a little high in price, but seeing that it's an alcohol alternative that works, I'll give it a pass. I preferred taking this as a tincture as opposed to putting it into a drink.

I’m a super big fan of this alcohol alternative brand! I have tried the wine down (red wine alternative) and the take the edge off (white wine alternative) I prefer the white wine alternative (pictured) and even used it while getting on my wedding day!

Love the fact that this brand is AAPI-woman owned and operated, as well as the principles driving the product formulation. I've tried Blue Burn for a month or so, and while I haven't seen any material increase in temprament— its a nice additive to water. I'll finish out the vial, but will probably switch to a tincture since those tend to have a better effect on me!

I tried the Sugar Kick while wearing a continuous glucose monitor for information purposes- not diabetes- and the sugar kick did have any impact on my blood sugar as it said. I tried it for a while and also felt no difference in how I felt. The blue burn is nice to add to water. I like the Ingredients for helping with inflammation. I will continue using the Blue Burn until it runs out and may possibly reorder. I won’t continue using or ordering the Sugar Kick.

Customer service is poor. No response. Products caused a severe skin reaction within 30 minutes of ingesting. 10/10 would not recommend if you have ever had a reaction or allergy to anything at all. I requested to send back completely unopened products (because I bought a lot) and they left me on read. Zero customer service, I spent 2 days in the emergency room directly because of these products.

Their tinctures are great. I am not a powder fan so I purchased the tinctures as soon as they brought them out! I love the idea of natural medicine instead of the pills and medication I have to take for my stress and anxiety and this really made me impressed. Im' a believer. I'd taken it straight or added it to tea, and I feel a nice affect. Even my husband, or is skeptical of products like this, was surprised how relaxed he'd felt after consuming it. Definitely looking into the other products as well.

I got hit with an ad and then I saw 3-4 friends post about the brand. I’ve been taking their Mind over Matter blend and tinctures and have been loving them. It’s made such a difference in my focus and stress levels. Love the packaging and delivery of product as well, I don’t take melatonin or drink wine anymore!!

I absolutely love their new white wine tincture. I’ve tried everything from the brand and while the powders take some time to get used to, everything works so well. Love the glass and mission to provide clean alternatives to OTC supplements and pills all on the shelves (often with other fillers / crap inside). Believe they’re also women owned 💯

I love the gold daily remedy spoon! I actually got it to use for my matcha and it is the perfect size. It’s also very aesthetically pleasing and looks great out on my counter! Could be used for a lot of different things

Apothekary Mindcraft has been helpful on my work days. As a ER Nurse in a fairly busy environment it has helped me stay focused and sharper than I would on days I didn't have it. It suggests that it will improve over time and I have been using it for 2 weeks at work only but I decided to use it daily. I'll update soon

I’ve been looking for a stress relieving drink alternative to wine as I can sometimes drink a whole bottle alone. It’s a lot!! Friend referred me to their products and I really like them. They don’t fully dissolve (at least the powdered blend) but it shows they’re clean with no other crap in it. I love the tincture, just drink it with juice or sparkling and in a fancy glass. I probably use their products 3-5 times a week, recommend it. Always try to order earlier in the week as they can ship slower if high orders are coming in.

I got recently introduced to Apothékary by a friend who started our dry January group. We all bought like 4 different products to try and share our experiences and I got their Stop Your Wineing blend, which I’ve taken everyday with some san pellegrino and a wedge of lime and cran juice. SO good. It doesn’t dissolve great but based on what I’ve read about herbs also normal. I have Athletic Greens during the day and it’s the same thing. If you’re looking for a clean alternative to wine or something I do recommend.

Good I would recommend.

I was skeptical, but these actually do work. I especially like the Sober Curious Trio for winding down at night without an adult beverage. I make them in a pretty glass and add a garnish so still get the ritual and relaxation without the morning grogginess.
it works
I tried the Slay All Day, which is their matcha powder promoted to help give you a boost. I slayed until about noon, and then had reach for a cup of coffee :( maybe if you’re not heavily addicted to caffeine like me, it might work for you. I will say, I added the powder to a strawberry smoothie, and it was DELICIOUS. I have other travel packets like the “follow your gut” and “do not disturb” but I’m unsure what to mix them with for now. fun to try, but probably won’t buy the full size products.
Apothékary offers a range of herbal supplements and tinctures that many find effective for stress relief, sleep enhancement, and overall wellness. However, the premium pricing and customer service issues have been points of concern
These are awesome. I love the wine down one. It really helps me chill and just be zen. I like how affordable they are for the quality and amount in each bottle. I have no side effects with them at all.

I've been drinking the Claim to Flame powder to help with digestive issues and inflammation. It dissolves so easily in any beverage and the flavor isn't too strong. Big fan, wish it was less expensive!

Apothekary — by any measure - is a Brand that has a real purpose with thoughtfully concocted products My wife purchased Stop Wine-Ing so I had a healthy(er) unwinding alternative after long days The good: I mixed the powder with warm water as instructed, but went a little rogue by then pouring over ice and topping with a splash of Topo Chico. I was pleased with the flavor, though it’s not a flavor I’d go out of my way for (somewhat like a sweet tea) The bad: The serving size is 1tsp of powder. Unfortunately, the opening of the spice-like glass bottle was too narrow for any reasonable 1tsp measuring spoon and the powder was a bit clumpy, making it really difficult to measure out. Minor inconvenience. I didn’t really feel noticeably more relaxed or any other impact, other than the psychological victory of swapping this for a glass of wine.
Feedback
More functional bottle. Powder that doesn’t require warm water to mix well. Better and more robust recommended “recipes” for mixing
I recently tried Apothekary for the first time purchasing the "Free Spirit Sober Sips" mini set, which included the Wine Down, Rose All Day, and Take the Edge Off mini tinctures. And I... am... OBSESSED!!! I needed something with a punch to replace my booze for dry January and holy cow, it does what it says. The brand IS a little pricey, but honestly now that I'm in my mid 30's I'm willing to pay the price for products that actually could benefit my longevity. Worth it!
