Brand & Mission
What does Balaveda mean?
"Balaveda" is inspired by the Sanskrit roots bala (strength) and veda (knowledge). It represents our commitment to powerful, plant-based wellness rooted in tradition and supported by science.
What does Balaveda stand for as a company?
We stand for clean, functional wellness. Our mission is to help people feel good—naturally—through adaptogenic botanicals, sustainable ingredients, and a commitment to transparency, quality, and joy.
Do you support any social causes?
YES! A portion of every BalaVeda purchase goes to support the SURFRIDER ORGANIZATION. Our ocean faces growing challenges from pollution, offshore development and climate change. At the same time, expanding industries, such as offshore oil drilling, threaten to crowd our ocean and degrade its health (and those who call it home!). Every day poses new threats to our oceans and beaches. Our ocean and special places must be proactively protected before they are threatened and stem the tide before further damage is done to the ocean’s health. This is precisely why Surfrider has built a network of passion-driven people who are on the ground and are the voice for our ocean and beaches. With one foot in the sand and the other in the water, Surfrider is the only non-profit organization who is 100% focused on our coasts.
