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.
Hormonal Headaches: Understanding the Menstrual Cycle Connection
Headaches that arrive around the same point in your menstrual cycle are rarely a coincidence. Shifts in estrogen directly affect how the brain processes pain, making certain phases of the cycle especially vulnerable to migraines and severe headaches. For many women, symptoms appear just before bleeding begins or during the first days of a period, when estrogen levels drop most sharply.
Hormonal Acne: How Your Menstrual Cycle Impacts Your Skin
Hormonal acne that shows up like clockwork before your period is not random bad luck. It is your skin responding to predictable hormonal shifts across the menstrual cycle. Fluctuations in estrogen, progesterone, and androgens directly affect oil production, inflammation, and how pores behave, which explains why breakouts often cluster around the chin and jawline in the days leading up to menstruation.Understanding how each phase of the cycle influences skin helps replace frustration with clarity. When you can anticipate when breakouts are most likely to appear, you can adjust skincare, stress support, and lifestyle habits in ways that actually work with your biology rather than fighting it.
7 of the Best Yoga Poses for Menstrual Cramps
Menstrual cramps are incredibly common, yet relief does not always have to start with medication.

7 Best Positions to Sleep While on Your Period
Sleeping during your period can be uncomfortable, but small changes in sleep position can ease cramps and improve rest. Certain positions reduce pressure on the abdomen, relax pelvic muscles, and support better circulation, all of which help calm menstrual pain. Learning which sleep positions work best for your body can make nights during your period noticeably more comfortable and restorative.
How to Track Your Menstrual Cycle: Methods and Tools Explained
Tracking your menstrual cycle builds insight into how your body actually works. From simple paper calendars to apps and wearable technology, each method offers a different way to notice patterns in bleeding, symptoms, mood, and energy. Consistent tracking over a few cycles reveals what is normal for you, supports informed health decisions, and makes conversations with healthcare providers clearer and more productive.
Does Your Uterus Grow During Your Period? The Science Explained
Claims that the uterus dramatically doubles in size during your period sound alarming, yet biology tells a calmer and more interesting story. The uterus does change throughout the menstrual cycle, but its largest growth actually happens around ovulation, not during menstruation. Period-related changes are mostly linked to blood flow, muscle contractions, and mild inflammation rather than true structural enlargement.
