Launching Lutea™ - and how it's different to Nettle™
We’re thrilled to introduce Lutea™ - our newest product, and our first release in the United States. Lutea™ is built on the same scientific foundation as Nettle™, but it represents a new perspective on how we think about women’s brain health, daily wellbeing, and self-care.
We asked Nettle™ users about their experience - here’s what they said
Real women, real results. After six months with Nettle™, users reported fewer sick days, less reliance on medication, and reduced GP visits. 80% said they regained nearly a month of life each year, 9 in 10 changed how they use painkillers or hormones, and over half wish GPs offered Nettle™ first. Proof that menstrual health can mean fewer pills, fewer appointments - and more control.
PMDD and eating disorders: The hidden overlap
PMDD can heighten appetite changes, body image distress, and emotional eating, increasing the risk of bulimia and binge eating disorder. Hormonal shifts and serotonin imbalances play a key role, making mood support essential for managing these interconnected symptoms.
Does Ovulation Cause Cramps? Is It Normal?
Cramps during ovulation stem from distinct hormonal shifts and feel different from menstrual cramps for many people. Learn how timing and sensations typically present, gentle ways to manage discomfort, and how combining cycle awareness in the Samphire app with brain-based care like Nettle™ helps people respond confidently.
Borderline Personality Disorder and PMDD: What’s the confusion?
PMDD is often mistaken for BPD because both share intense mood swings and irritability, but the key difference is timing. PMDD symptoms appear in the luteal phase and ease with menstruation, while BPD is ongoing. Tracking cycles can help reveal the true cause.
The PMDD-EDS connection
Women with EDS often experience intensified PMDD symptoms due to overlapping issues like chronic pain, hormonal sensitivity, autonomic dysfunction, and histamine imbalance. Tracking patterns and using supportive tools can help manage both conditions more effectively.
Why Does Ovulation Hurt so Bad? Is it Normal?
Sharp mid-cycle pain can be alarming but often reflects normal ovulatory changes that vary greatly between people. Learn the likely causes, straightforward comfort techniques, and which symptoms merit a clinical check, while tracking occurrences with the Samphire app and exploring brain-based approaches such as Nettle™ for added relief.
