If you’ve searched for Blessed Herbs recently, you’ve probably run into a confusing mix of signals. Products still showing up on Amazon. A review site suggesting the company is closing. Old directory listings with phone numbers that may or may not still work. It’s a genuinely murky picture, and the confusion is understandable.
This article works through what’s actually known — what Blessed Herbs was, where the “going out of business” claim originates, what a 2011 acquisition means for the brand, and what you should do if you’ve depended on their products.
What Blessed Herbs Was and What It Sold
Blessed Herbs was a US-based herbal products company focused primarily on internal cleansing and colon health. Their most well-known offerings were structured kit programs — specifically the 21-Day Intestinal Cleansing Kit and the 8-Day Colon Cleansing Kit.
The company served a fairly specific market: individual consumers, herbalists, health professionals, and retailers, both in the US and internationally. This wasn’t a mass-market supplement brand. It occupied a specialist corner of the herbal cleanse niche, which made it well-known to its core audience but less visible to the general public.
Operationally, Blessed Herbs had two notable locations on record. Their original site was at 109 Barre Plains Road in Oakham, Massachusetts. A later corporate office appeared at 1301 Sawgrass Corporate Parkway in Sunrise, Florida. Both addresses show up across industry directories and business listings, which tells you the company had a real operational footprint at some point.
Where the “Going Out of Business” Claim Actually Comes From
The phrase that’s driving most of these searches can be traced to a specific source: a product review published on Colon Health Magazine. In a Q&A section of their review of the 21-Day Intestinal Cleansing Kit, the site states that “the manufacturer, Blessed Herbs, are going out of business,” while simultaneously telling readers they can still purchase the kit through Amazon and Big Sky Cleanse.
That’s worth reading carefully. A third-party review site — not Blessed Herbs itself — is making this claim. There’s no press release attached to it, no corporate filing, no direct statement from the company. The phrasing is also awkward, and there’s no clear publication date, which makes it difficult to assess whether it reflects the situation today, two years ago, or further back.
No official announcement of closure, no bankruptcy filing, and no notice to customers appears in any available source. The Colon Health Magazine review is the only place this claim appears, and it should be treated as an unverified secondary observation rather than a confirmed fact.
That doesn’t mean it’s wrong. It means you should hold it lightly until better evidence appears.
The Nutranext Acquisition and What It Means
The most concrete business event on record for Blessed Herbs is an acquisition. According to PitchBook, Blessed Herbs was acquired by Nutranext on July 12, 2011. That’s a significant data point, and it’s worth understanding what acquisitions typically mean in the supplement industry.
When a larger company acquires a smaller herbal or supplement brand, one of three things usually happens. The brand gets scaled up and marketed more aggressively. It gets quietly folded into the acquirer’s existing product portfolio. Or it gets gradually phased out as the parent company consolidates and cuts what it doesn’t need.
An acquisition is not the same as going bankrupt or closing. But it can produce outcomes that look similar from the outside — reduced direct-to-consumer activity, less visible customer support, changes to the product line, and a general fading of the original brand identity. If Blessed Herbs has felt increasingly hard to find over the years, a post-acquisition wind-down of its independent presence could explain that without requiring any dramatic collapse.
It’s also worth noting that Nutranext operated in a supplement market defined by consolidation. Larger players routinely absorb smaller brands, and not all of those brands survive the process with their original identity intact.
What Current Signals Suggest About the Brand’s Status
Looking at what’s visible today, the signals are genuinely mixed — and some of them are easier to misread than they appear.
Directory Listings: Useful but Limited
Blessed Herbs appears in several business directories. The Nutrition Industry Executive sourcebook lists them at the Oakham, Massachusetts address with phone numbers. YellowPages shows the Sunrise, Florida corporate office. PissedConsumer has a customer service page with multiple phone numbers, a customer care email (customercare@blessedherbs.com), and locations including Margate, FL, Sunrise, FL, and Cottonwood, AZ.
These listings look active on the surface. The problem is that directory entries frequently outlive the businesses they describe. They get created, they index well in search, and they rarely get taken down when a company closes or changes hands. Treat them as evidence of past operations, not as proof that anyone is answering the phone today.
Product Availability: What It Does and Doesn’t Tell You
Blessed Herbs products can still be found through Amazon and at least one other online retailer. But finding a product listed for sale doesn’t tell you much about whether the original manufacturer is still active. Third-party sellers routinely hold and sell existing inventory long after a manufacturer has stopped producing. Warehouse stock moves slowly in the supplement world.
So “you can still buy it” and “the company is still operating normally” are two different things. If you’re considering a purchase, it’s worth checking the listed expiration dates carefully, since herbal products sitting in third-party warehouses aren’t subject to the same quality oversight as products direct from an active manufacturer.
How to Test Current Status Yourself
The most reliable way to assess whether Blessed Herbs is still functioning is to check directly. Visit blessedherbs.com and see whether the site loads, whether products are listed as in stock, and whether a checkout process actually functions. Try the customer service email or phone number and see if you get a response.
Recent blog posts, updated policies, or active social media accounts are also reasonable indicators of a live business. Their absence doesn’t confirm closure, but it’s a signal worth weighing.
How to Tell If Any Supplement Brand Is Still Operating
Blessed Herbs is a useful case study in a broader problem: small and mid-size supplement brands are often hard to track, especially after acquisitions or periods of reduced marketing. Here’s a practical checklist that applies to this situation and others like it.
- Check the official website. Is it live? Does it have updated content? Does the checkout work?
- Look at state business registries. Most states publish corporate registration and status records online. A “dissolved” or “inactive” status is a clear signal.
- Search business databases. PitchBook and similar platforms track acquisitions, mergers, and status changes for companies that have any institutional history.
- Check major retailers for “discontinued by manufacturer” notices. Amazon, Vitacost, and similar platforms sometimes flag this explicitly.
- Contact customer service directly. An unanswered email or disconnected phone line tells you something real.
- Look for recent customer reviews. Not star ratings — the actual text of recent reviews, which often reflect whether people received orders, reached support, or noticed changes.

What to Do If You Relied on Blessed Herbs Products
If Blessed Herbs has been part of your routine and you’re now uncertain about continued access, a few practical steps are worth considering.
First, consult a healthcare professional before replacing a structured cleanse program with an alternative. Herbal cleanse products vary considerably in their formulations, and what worked for you with one product may not translate cleanly to another brand.
Second, if you do purchase remaining Blessed Herbs stock from a third-party seller, check the expiration date and packaging condition carefully. Products from winding-down brands can sit in warehouses for extended periods, and proper storage isn’t always guaranteed across the supply chain.
Third, when evaluating alternatives, look for brands with transparent ingredient lists, current Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification, and clear customer service channels. These are basic quality markers that help distinguish actively managed brands from ones coasting on old inventory.
The Bottom Line
The honest answer to whether Blessed Herbs is going out of business is: the evidence points in that direction, but it isn’t confirmed through any official source. The only direct claim comes from a third-party review site with no clear date and no citation. The 2011 acquisition by Nutranext is real and documented, and it provides a plausible explanation for why the brand’s direct-to-consumer presence has diminished — but acquisition alone doesn’t mean shutdown.
What can be said with confidence is that Blessed Herbs as an independent, actively managed brand appears to be significantly less present than it once was. Whether that’s a full closure, a quiet post-acquisition fade, or something in between is not something the available evidence resolves cleanly. If you need clarity, the most reliable step is to contact the company directly and see what comes back.
