Terpenes are a family of over 30,000 aromatic hydrocarbon molecules that fall into a class of compounds made up of linked isoprene unit chains.

Sorry, dispensing with the PhD copywriter from herein out.

Terpenes are common and naturally occurring molecules that occur everywhere in nature. Most terpenes serve as potent scent molecules, for two reasons: Protection from predators, and to attract pollinators. Terpenes also form protective clouds of water vapour around plants that cool the plant during extended periods of hot weather. They’re pretty amazing.

Beyond providing plants their aroma and natural protection, terpenes are naturally occurring aromatic compounds that interact with the body when consumed or inhaled. They are found throughout the plant kingdom and are used alongside botanical extracts in our formulations. Note: these terpene references relate to general compound properties and are not claims of therapeutic effect.

It’s important to find your perfect serve. We recommend starting low and going slow.

Shake the bottle well and follow the directions for use on your pack — add your pumps to a drink of your choice, or take them straight under the tongue. Allow about 20–45 minutes from taking it to notice how it sits with you, and time your serve accordingly.

Always read the label and follow the directions for use.

You can. It’s best, however, not to take it in boiling hot liquids like tea or coffee.

We started MONDAYSUNDAY because we believe strongly in the complementary role of botanical medicine in everyday wellness. Our practitioners have long admired the historical use of herbs across cultures, and wanted to create high-quality, accessible herbal formulations to support the wellbeing of people who value plant-based options. By formulating with traditionally used botanicals and applying modern quality standards, we set out to bring something genuinely different to the wellness market.

By harnessing the power of nature in a fresh, unique way, with high-potency formulations in an artisanal spring water base versus alcohol or oil, we knew we could bring serious gravitas to the power of nature.

Our core creation team features three doctors:

Dr. Sheetal Bull

Trained Psychiatrist and GP – Welsh, living in Australia

Dr. Crosby Rechtin

E.R. Doctor – American, living in Australia

Dr. Nikolas Foklialakis

Phytochemist – Greek, living in Greece

It’s not just because we wanted to be different – the easy path is to use an oil or an alcohol-base. We wanted you to be able to take our natural formulations without having to also consume alcohol or oils, that’s pretty much it.

A 60ml oil-based formula contains about 55 grams of oil. That’s quite a lot of unnecessary fat to work off every month. And most alcohol-based formulas are seriously alcohol-y, with from 20–60% alcohol content. It took many rounds of R&D by our Phytochemist, Dr. Nik, to get this right.

Unlike others, we publish exactly what is inside each bottle via our COAs (Certificates of Analysis) that are undertaken by an independent third party. In the COAs you can clearly see our formulas don’t contain any pesticides, heavy metals, microbial, or anything else that shouldn’t go into your body.

We have a full Glossary + Evidence page on this site, where you can read about each of our ingredients, their history of traditional use, and selected peer-reviewed research on the individual ingredients. Linked research relates to individual ingredients, not to MONDAYSUNDAY products.

It’s best to consult with your medical professional about this, or email our docs at docs@monday-sunday.com

References to traditional use in our product copy refer to the historical use of these botanicals in Western herbal medicine. This does not constitute clinical proof of efficacy. For ingredient-level research references, see our Glossary + Evidence page.
