About
Founder’s Note
Welcome to Zenith Ritual.
This brand was born from a deeply personal journey—one of healing, resilience, and rebirth. As a mother, a woman rediscovering her voice, and a wellness advocate, I created Zenith Ritual to offer something real: a daily ritual that reconnects us with the powerful wisdom of nature.
In a world that often pulls us in every direction, Zenith Ritual stands as a reminder to return to center. Our formulations combine ancient remedies like shilajit resin, harvested from the Himalayan mountains, and moringa, a nutrient-dense botanical revered for centuries. These aren’t just ingredients—they are time-honored gifts from the Earth, carefully selected to restore vitality, balance, and strength.
Zenith Ritual is more than a wellness brand. It’s a bridge between cultures, a union of East and West, and a celebration of what’s possible when we root ourselves in purpose and rise with intention. Whether you're beginning your healing, building new habits, or simply seeking to show up as your best self—this ritual is for you.
Thank you for being part of this journey. Let’s rise together.
With love and gratitude,
Sara Bergstein
Founder, Zenith Ritual

From an early age, I was raised in a large, loving family where my parents and grandparents played an equally significant role in shaping my upbringing. Growing up in Visakhapatnam, a coastal city in South India, my childhood was deeply enriched with stories—tales passed down by my grandparents about our family’s legacy, traditions, and ancient wisdom. Every night before bed, I would listen eagerly to their experiences, fascinated by the depth of knowledge and history they carried. One story, in particular, left an everlasting impression on me. It was about my great-grandfather, a revered astrologer and Ayurvedic medicine practitioner. One day, a wandering Sadhu from the Himalayas visited him. Pleased with his hospitality, the Sadhu shared a sacred remedy, which my family came to call "Nalla Mandhu," meaning "Black Medicine." This powerful healing formula has been passed down through generations, proving to be an effective cure for open wounds among our family and friends. These traditions, coupled with our ancestral connection to the Royal Family of Vizianagaram—known for their contributions to art, culture, and philanthropy—instilled in me a deep respect for my heritage and the natural healing practices of India. Despite my cultural roots, I was always drawn to the idea of exploring new frontiers. Hollywood movies like The Pursuit of Happiness and The Social Network painted a picture of America as the land of boundless opportunities. Stories from relatives who had settled in the U.S. fueled my curiosity about a world that seemed so different from my own. Inspired by this vision, I pursued my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering and later secured admission to the University of Southern California—one of my dream schools and the gateway to the city I always wanted to live in, Los Angeles. Moving to L.A. was a transformative experience. Coming from a modest town in India, stepping into a vibrant metropolis was a complete lifestyle shift. The culture, people, and opportunities were vastly different from what I had known, but I embraced every bit of the journey. My career in the U.S. has been fulfilling, yet I always felt a pull toward my roots. The desire to create something meaningful, something that bridges the wisdom of my ancestors with modern wellness, never left me. That’s what led me to create Zenith Ritual. I wanted to bring the ancient power of Shilajit and Moringa—two of India’s most revered natural ingredients—into the hands of those seeking holistic wellness in today’s fast-paced world. Zenith Ritual is not just about supplements; it’s about honoring centuries of Ayurvedic knowledge while integrating it with the scientific rigor and innovation of modern wellness. My vision is to build a global brand that represents the best of both worlds—India’s timeless healing traditions and America’s drive for scientific advancement and quality. While my journey began in India and took me across the globe, my mission now is to create a meaningful impact in both countries. I see myself eventually moving back to India, expanding my business across borders, and sharing the benefits of such powerful ingredients with people worldwide. At its core, Zenith Ritual is a reflection of my journey—rooted in tradition, inspired by discovery, and driven by a passion to make ancient wisdom accessible to the modern world.

I grew up in Buxton, Maine, and my journey eventually led me to Los Angeles. I was married for 20 years and raised two incredible boys, who are now 17 and 18 years old. Being a mom comes first, but I’ve always had the spirit of an entrepreneur—constantly thinking, creating, and building. My true passion lies in discovering amazing things and sharing them with the world. Along the way, I uncovered the incredible benefits of Fulvic acid and how essential it is to our health. These powerful compounds are the building blocks of our immune system, yet due to over-farming and soil depletion, most people are severely lacking in vital minerals. Once I understood how transformative Fulvic acid is—from children to the elderly—I became determined to find the most potent, Fulvic-rich Shilajit resin available. My search led me to the Himalayan mountains, where I sourced the purest form of Shilajit to bring its powerful benefits to as many people as possible. During this journey, I was also introduced to Moringa, and the effects were almost immediate—I felt more energized, the whites of my eyes became clearer, and my gut and digestion improved dramatically. Experiencing these life-changing benefits firsthand, I knew I had to create something special. After extensive research, testing, and countless trials—especially perfecting the taste, since both Moringa and Shilajit are naturally bitter—I finally crafted a formulation that delivers powerful health benefits in a delicious gummy. This process wasn’t easy, but it was worth it. Now, I’m sharing Zenith Ritual with you all, not just as a product but as part of a movement for better health, vitality, and wellness. I welcome your feedback, your stories, and even your constructive criticism—because I’m always striving to improve and grow. Let’s embark on this wellness journey together!
