About our Impact Studies
Tested in real life, by people like you.
Our supplement range is developed by a naturopathic, research and scientific team with years of exerience working with women in menopause. Together, they analyse peer reviewed trial data for 100’s of wholefood, plats, minerals and vitamins to select the very best ingredients to go into our blends.
How It Works
Our impact study participants are recruited via social media and screened purely for any underlying health conditions that may make our blends inappropriate or difficult to evaluate. We use the Greene Climacteric Scale3 and the Menopause Specific Quality of Life (MENQOL) protocol to assess symptom severity prior to the tracking study, the same framework used in doctor surgeries to identify menopause. Participants then track the most bothersome symptoms each week by SMS and long-form surveys.lends.
Why It Matters
Evidence is everything. Filling the knowledge gap, together. In-field consumer studies test the real-life efficacy of every supplement we make.

How it Works
Chosen for its powerful and well researched digestive properties. In clinical trials, Actazin® has been shown to reduce constipation, bloating and gastric discomfort, due to the presence of actidin, a kiwi fruit-unique enzyme that enhances protein digestion, including gluten. Protein is an important macronutrient in our plate, particularly in midlife, but can take a long time to digest, sometimes leading to bloating. Kiwi fruit has also powerful prebiotic properties.

Why did you choose to focus on digestion with your latest Cluster formulation?
We now know that menopause not only impacts our metabolic rate in menopause - it impacts our gut microbiota and gut permeability too. This means that a disproportionate number of women in menopause have digestive symptoms including discomfort, bloating and gas. In addition, our digestive capacity reduces in this period, leading to difficulties in digesting protein and fat, resulting in intolerances and issues with the foods we love, that no longer love us back.
Why have you chosen not to include probiotics in this formula?
Although probiotics are gaining in popularity, practitioners will agree not everyone actually needs or will benefit from them. GUT-INSTINCT is designed to gently support digestive health and uses potent prebiotics which actually help our bodies to promote growth of friendly gut bacteria (probiotics), naturally.
I’ve seen many ‘gut’ products talk about time-release capsules or liquid formats to aid bio-availability. How does GUT-INSTINCT work?
Herbs work differently from probiotic formulas. Because herbs are ‘whole foods', our bodies are able to digest them in the gut, and we are able to extract optimal nutrition and benefits. This also means we don’t need to introduce often unproven, time-release protocols to protect our formula.
Does GUT-INSTINCT help with weight as well as bloating?
We feel uncomfortable about promoting weight loss - particularly in midlife - this is the time to focus on nourishment not punishment!
GUT-INSTINCT focuses on digestion and liver support and health through the lens of naturopathy, which in turn supports our bodies in maintaining a healthy weight. The inclusion of Bitters in our blend helps regulate GIT hormone secretion, regulate appetite and our blood sugar levels too.
Will GUT-INSTINCT help me regulate my appetite?
Our formulation contains herbal heroes that are also known as Bitters. Bitters have several beautiful health benefits, including promoting digestion and the digestion of fat. They also regulate GIT hormone secretion, such as ghrelin and GLP-1, which control appetite and blood sugar levels.
