The Herbal Mental Health Supplement Market Is Surging — Here’s Why Brands Are Moving Fast
The global herbal mental health supplement market was valued at $15.04B in 2025 and is projected to reach $27.73B by 2034 at a CAGR of 7.04% (Precedence Research). That growth isn’t driven by hype — it’s a direct response to consumers seeking natural solutions for stress, emotional balance, sleep quality, mood support, and cognitive function without synthetic drugs or long-term pharmaceuticals.
Demand is strongest for adaptogens (ashwagandha, rhodiola), calming botanicals (valerian, chamomile), and cognitive nootropics (lion’s mane, ginkgo, bacopa). But one format is winning disproportionately: gummies and chewables are the fastest-growing category across the entire mental wellness space.
Mental health is no longer a doctor-only conversation — it's becoming a daily self-care routine purchased on Shopify, Amazon, and brand websites. Consumers are actively searching for products that simplify mood regulation and improve focus and sleep.
At the same time, many hemp brands are already looking beyond cannabinoids. As federal rulemaking accelerates, operators are researching new actives and formulations that keep their supply chain and revenue secure.

Bottom line: The companies that launch herbal mental wellness SKUs in the next 6–12 months will capture retail distribution, subscription markets, and brand loyalty while competitors are still waiting for clarity.
Where CM Opportunities Are Emergent: Mushrooms, Minerals, & Custom Mood Formulas
According to Precedence Research, the biggest demand in herbal mental health supplements is concentrated in:
- Stress & anxiety support (36% market share)
- Mood & emotional balance botanicals
- Sleep formulations tied to relaxation pathways
- Brain health and cognitive nootropics (fastest growth rate)
Functional mushrooms are one of the most stable areas for entry because they are familiar to consumers and supported by strong academic literature. Lion’s mane (focus), reishi (calming), and cordyceps (mental energy) continue expanding their presence in wellness retail.
Other categories showing explosive adoption include mineral stacks, amino acids, and creatine formulations for energy and mental clarity. See industry data in The Growing Demand for Creatine in Modern Supplement Formulas.
Meanwhile, hemp brands are actively researching contingency plans as regulatory pressure increases. The smartest teams are diversifying formats, moving into non-scheduled actives, and exploring private label manufacturing.

With herbal mental health products, success depends on two factors:
- Quality sourcing of botanicals (standardized extracts, tested purity)
- Regulatory-safe label claims and clinical references
Brands entering now can choose high-velocity formats including gummies, tinctures, RTD beverages, and monthly subscription packs optimized for DTC and wholesale.
