The menopause affects every single cell in our body, and this transformation starts years before it arrives. One of the first outward signs is how our hair, skin and nails are affected. Our nutritionist-formulated gummy supplements are packed with the perfect balance of vitamins and minerals, powerhouse natural extracts and prebiotics for glowy, healthy skin, stronger nails and thicker hair. No artificial flavours or colours, no titanium dioxide. Oh and no plastic packaging.
The ins and outs of our gummies
Our small-but-mighty gummy supplements are formulated using radically effective natural extracts and ingredients. You are what you eat – so only the best proven and nutrient-packed ingredients make the grade. And we’re every bit as conscientious about what stays out as what goes in.

Açaí Berry
A rapid decline of Oestrogen in our bodies during the perimenopausal and menopausal years can affect every cell in our bodies. A bona fide superfood, South American Açai berries are packed with antioxidants that help to minimise cell damage. With a plethora of powerful nutrients, Açaí is one of our formulations’ hardest grafters.
Astaxanthin
Studies show that skin loses about 30% of its collagen during the first five years of menopause, which is why Astaxanthin may well be your skin’s new BFF. Derived from the micro-algae that gives pink flamingos and lobster their rosy hue, it is clinically proven to improve skin texture and elasticity and helps to smooth fine lines. Ours is extracted from the sustainably sourced (and entirely vegan) micro-algae ‘Haematococcus Pluvialis’, for the highest purity and potency. As if this was not enough, studies show that Astaxanthin also supports heart and eye health to boot.
Biotin
The hormone imbalances that occur during the perimenopause and menopause can lead to a Vitamin B deficiency, which can contribute to anxiety and irritability. Also known as Vitamin H or B7, Biotin not only helps to strengthen hair, nails and skin but also promotes a healthy nervous system. Bonus: it can also help boost your metabolism.
Inulin
A thriving gut microbiome is responsible for vibrant skin and a healthy body and brain. However, changing hormone levels at midlife have been shown in studies to lower the microbiome levels in the gut. Our gummies therefore contain Inulin, a naturally sweet fibre which encourages a happy and diverse microflora. Ours comes from the roots of chicory grown in the Netherlands. Each gummy contains 1.7g of Inulin.
Selenium
Oestrogen and progesterone are master regulators of the immune system, therefore their decline during midlife can weaken our defences against pathogens and disease. Selenium is a powerful mineral that not only acts as an antioxidant and therefore prevents cell damage, but it can regulate our metabolism. Essentially, it can also boost immunity when we need it most.
Sugar Cane
Thanks to the naturally sweet taste of Inulin in our gummies, we have only needed to add a smidge of natural sugar cane in order to taste irresistible. As a result, each one contains less sugar then a single cherry (by all means indulge a sweet tooth but not in your supplements.)
Vitamin E
Vitamin E is a natural antioxidant that not only helps reduce oxidative stress in cells from the inside out (therefore preventing disease and promoting healthy skin and hair from the inside out), but it can also help to prevent inflammation in the body which could lead to disease. Studies show that this essential vitamin may also be beneficial in reducing hot flushes.
Vitamin C
Women are four times as likely to develop osteoporosis as men, and is closely linked to Oestrogen deficiency that declines rapidly during the menopause. Vitamin C is important for maintaining bone density which may protect against bone fractures. Its antioxidant effect can also maintain luminous skin, and strong hair and nails and helps maintain a healthy immune system to boot.
Vitamin A
A lack of Vitamin A can affect our vision, skin, bones and immune system, all of which can be depleted at midlife. Our Vitamin A, also known as retinol, is taken from Beta Carotene rather than animal derived food sources.
Zinc
Zinc is an all-star player during midlife. It is not only proven to maintain lustrous hair and strong skin and nails but it also supports a healthy immune system. Tests have shown that women who take Zinc during midlife are less prone to anxiety, depression and mood swings. It can also give a flagging libido a boost.
