Founder Story 📚:
”I've (Nicola Cartwright) created herbal supplements for others since 2015, I've also tried many brands and was always unhappy with the quality and price. We decided to start our own company [Powderful] to create something better - a blend of mushrooms, adaptogens, spices, and zinc, which tastes great and actually works. It supports energy, focus, gut and skin health, immune function, and mood. We are also creating a wellness community where we share health information and provide a support network for health coaches and their customers.”
The Powderful Team team is seeking to connect with other women-owned brands. If their mission resonates, we encourage you to reach out.
