The Research Behind Bloomelle

I added Lion's Mane because I couldn't think straight. I'd walk into a room and forget why. I'd lose my train of thought mid-conversation. It was terrifying. Lion's Mane has been shown to support nerve growth factor—basically, it helps your brain cells communicate better. It's not a stimulant, it's support.

B-vitamins are essential for converting food into energy and regulating hormonal activity. I was exhausted all the time. B6 in particular helps with hormonal balance, and B12 supports energy levels. You need the full complex working together, not just one or two. That's why Bloomelle includes B1 (0.9mg), B2 (1.2mg), B3 (15mg), B6 (10mg), B9 (120µg), and B12 (100µg).

I felt anxious for no reason. My heart would race. I'd snap at people I love. Ashwagandha is an adaptogen—it helps your body manage stress. Clinical studies show it can lower cortisol levels. It doesn't sedate you, it just helps you feel calmer and more in control.

My mood was all over the place. One minute fine, the next minute crying. Schisandra is an adaptogen used for centuries to stabilize energy and mood. It helps you feel more balanced without the jitters of caffeine or the fog of sedatives.

I couldn't sleep. I'd wake up at 3am and lie there for hours. Magnesium helps your muscles relax and your nervous system calm down. It's one of the most researched minerals for sleep. Most people are deficient, and menopause makes it worse.

Hot flushes were mortifying. I'd be in a meeting and suddenly be drenched in sweat. Red Clover contains isoflavones—plant compounds that mimic oestrogen—helping to naturally regulate body temperature. Research shows it can reduce the frequency and intensity of hot flushes.

Menopause puts stress on your entire system. I kept getting sick. Chaga is packed with antioxidants that support immune function during hormonal stress. It's like armor for your cells.

I was exhausted. Not just tired—bone-deep fatigue. Cordyceps is known to support ATP production (your cells' energy currency). It helps fight physical fatigue without being a stimulant.

As oestrogen drops during menopause, bone density decreases. My mum had osteoporosis. I wasn't taking chances. Calcium is essential for maintaining normal bones, and I made sure to include it in Bloomelle alongside D3 for proper absorption.

Calcium doesn't work alone—you need D3 to actually absorb it. Most people in the UK are deficient, especially during winter. D3 also supports immune function and mood, which is why I made sure it's in the formula.

Here's the secret: you can take all the best ingredients in the world, but if your body can't absorb them, they're useless. Black pepper extract (piperine) significantly increases bioavailability—meaning your body actually uses what you're taking. It's 20mg of pure absorption power.
