Eligibility Questions:

If you’re in your 30s and noticing signs like irregular periods, mood changes, skin elasticity shifts, hair loss, sleep or energy changes, joints and muscle weakness even after rest - these could be early indicators of hormonal fluctuation. Hormone‑decline processes can begin earlier or vary individually. Using Femarelle® in your 30s might make sense if you are experiencing symptoms.

Femarelle® is designed around the idea of hormonal changes; especially the gradual decline in estrogen that many women experience as they move closer toward menopause.
If you are in your 30s, and you are feeling changes that suggest your hormonal system is shifting; then yes, you may consider Femarelle®. It’s less about the number and more about what your body is telling you.
If you are in your 40s (or approaching 40) and you notice early signs of hormonal changes (e.g., irregular periods, mood swings, changes in skin, sleep disturbance), then starting Femarelle® based on your symptoms could be timely.

Femarelle® is designed to address estrogen decline and receptor‑related changes, it may be relevant before full menopause i.e., during early signs of hormonal change.
Femarelle® uses the proprietary ingredient DT56a, a soy‑derived extract (but not soy isoflavones) that works as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)‑type compound.
Studies have shown that in women (e.g., with hot flushes, vasomotor symptoms) taking DT56a led to a statistically significant reduction in symptom number and intensity within a relatively short time period (2‑4 weeks).

Femarelle® is a non‑hormonal dietary supplement built around a patented soy‑derived compound (DT56a) that supports women’s health during hormonal shifts. (It is not an estrogen replacement.)
Regular periods are a sign that your reproductive system is functioning in a certain way, but that doesn’t necessarily mean that hormonal changes aren’t beginning or won’t begin. Early shifts may be subtle and may not immediately disrupt menstruation. If you are starting to notice one or more of the following (even with regular periods): changes in mood, sleep disturbances, skin elasticity changes, low energy, shifting libido; then Femarelle® is a supportive option.

Start Femarelle® once you begin noticing hormonal‑change symptoms (e.g., mood shifts, sleep issues, skin changes, hair loss, hot flushes, vaginal dryness, bone, joint and muscle pain) and use it to address those changes.
If symptoms have already begun, then it’s clearly time to consider Femarelle® and use it as part of a symptom‑relief diet plan. Prevention through lifestyle (diet, movement, sleep, stress) remains foundational; a supplement is a support.

Femarelle® is a non‑hormonal supplement (made from a proprietary soy‐derived extract, DT56a) designed to support women’s wellness during hormonal transition.
Because you are on hormonal contraception, your body’s hormonal environment is being managed/modified by the contraception and the effects of adding any supplement (even non‑hormonal) should be evaluated by your healthcare provider.

Femarelle® is a dietary supplement that can be taken safely for the long term to enhance women’s well-being and support them throughout the estrogen-decline journey as we age.
The longer you take Femarelle®, the longer it will support your daily life.

Results:

Clinical studies and the experiences of thousands of women show that you can begin to feel the benefits of Femarelle® quite quickly when taken as directed. Many women report feeling improvements such as better sleep, fewer hot flashes, and improved mood within 2 to 4 weeks of regular use.
Clinical research on Femarelle’s active ingredient, DT56a, shows a statistically significant reduction in hot flush frequency and intensity after just 2 weeks, with further improvements by 4 weeks. (Click for Source)
Additional studies have demonstrated meaningful symptom relief and overall well-being after 8–12 weeks of consistent use.

Most women begin to experience relief within the first month, and continued use enhances these results over time. For best results, take Femarelle® as recommended, one capsule twice daily and maintain a balanced lifestyle alongside your supplement routine.

At Femarelle®, our goal is to support women through the changes that come with estrogen decline including concerns about thinning hair and skin changes.
Our formula Femarelle® Rejuvenate is specifically designed for women experiencing early hormonal changes. It contains vitamin B2 (riboflavin), which helps maintain skin health and helps reduce tiredness and fatigue. It is not a cosmetic treatment, but a nutritional support to help your skin’s health as your body’s hormones shift. Femarelle® Rejuvenate includes biotin (vitamin B7), which in our labeling “helps maintain hair health and promotes normal psychological functions.
Hair thinning can have many causes (hormonal fluctuations, nutrient deficiencies, genetics, stress); so while Femarelle® supports hair health, it is not guaranteed to reverse every cause of hair thinning.

Femarelle® is hormone-free and non-HRT (hormone replacement therapy). It uses our proprietary extract “DT56a” (a soy-derived compound) plus supportive nutrients.
For skin and hair improvements, consistent use is important over weeks.
If you have significant hair loss (e.g., patchy bald spots, rapid shedding) or a skin condition, it’s recommended to also investigate underlying causes (thyroid health, iron/ferritin, vitamin D, dermatological conditions) and consult your doctor.

By choosing Femarelle®, you’re choosing a supportive, non-hormonal formula aimed at helping you maintain skin elasticity, hair health and wellbeing as you move through hormonal transitions. While we can’t guarantee full reversal of hair thinning or skin ageing, we believe our product contributes helpfully to the process of maintaining healthier skin and hair during this stage of life.

At Femarelle®, we’re committed to helping you navigate the changes that occur during early estrogen decline, then through peri-menopause, menopause and post-menopause including disruptions in sleep, mood swings and low energy levels.

Our formulas contain a Soya Protein Isolate called DT56a, which is formulated to act on estrogen-related pathways without being traditional hormone therapy.
We also include nutrients that support mood and energy, such as vitamin B6 (in Femarelle® Recharge) and vitamins like B2/D-Biotin (in Femarelle® Rejuvenate) which help the nervous system and energy metabolism.
By supporting hormonal balance and key nutrients, Femarelle® aims to help you feel more rested, more emotionally balanced and more energetic.

You may begin to notice improvements in sleep quality, mood stability and energy within weeks, when used consistently.
Individual results vary: factors such as diet, exercise, sleep hygiene, stress level and how far along you are in the menopausal transition all affect the outcome.
For best effect, use the product as directed (one capsule, twice daily) and pair with a healthy lifestyle (good sleep habits, balanced diet, regular movement).

Femarelle® is non-hormonal supplement support. Femarelle® supports the body’s changing systems as hormones decline.

Declining estrogen levels are associated with metabolic shifts, decreased muscle mass and increased fat‐accumulation, especially around the abdominal area. Femarelle® with DT56a supports the body’s changing hormone and metabolic environment during menopause which can indirectly support better metabolic health and weight management when paired with lifestyle measures.

Femarelle® is non-hormonal and not hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Our formulation with DT56a is designed to support the changes that occur with estrogen decline, rather than be a standalone solution for weight loss.

The best weight management outcomes still come from combining:
- Balanced nutrition (protein, fibre, healthy fats)
- Regular physical activity (especially strength/resistance to maintain muscle mass)
- Good sleep, stress management, and addressing other factors like thyroid/insulin status

Because metabolism slows naturally with age + estrogen drop, Femarelle®’s support should be viewed as part of a holistic approach, not the only factor.

Femarelle® provides Proven 76% Hot Flushes Relief.
Femarelle® Recharge is formulated to help with hot flashes and night sweats, especially those that arise as a result of the hormonal changes occurring during menopause.
If you’re experiencing hot flashes or night sweats linked to menopause, using Femarelle® Recharge as directed (one capsule, twice daily) leads to a noticeable decrease in these symptoms within the first month. Individual response may vary: intensity of symptoms, how long you've been in menopause, lifestyle factors (diet, stress, sleep), and general health can all influence how quickly you feel benefit.
Because this is a supportive supplement (non-hormonal), it is most effective when used alongside healthy habits (good sleep hygiene, avoiding triggers of hot flashes such as caffeine/alcohol/spicy food, staying hydrated and cool at night).

You may feel that your muscles tire more easily in daily activities (climbing stairs, lifting, exercise). Many women describe waking up with stiff, sore joints or feeling discomfort in their knees, hips, or fingers which could happen because estrogen hormone supports collagen and joint lubrication. Low levels of estrogen can lead to weaker bones, increasing the risk of osteopenia or osteoporosis over time.

Femarelle® Unstoppable contains DT56a, a soy-derived compound that acts selectively on estrogen receptors in tissues like bone and brain without stimulating breast or uterine tissue. Clinical studies show DT56a can stimulate bone-forming cells (osteoblasts) and help preserve bone mineral density (BMD). By gently modulating estrogen activity, Femarelle® helps support muscle function and reduce stiffness, allowing for better mobility and comfort.

At Femarelle®, we know every woman’s experience with estrogen decline is unique so how you feel when starting Femarelle® may vary depending on your symptoms, age, and which of our solutions you use.

Pairing Femarelle® with healthy lifestyle habits - balanced diet, exercise, and good sleep can enhance your results.

Lifestyle & Wellness Integration:

Femarelle® can be safely taken alongside natural supplements like collagen, calcium, and multivitamin supplements.
These supplements work through different mechanisms in the body:
Collagen supports skin, joint, and connective tissue health.
Calcium helps maintain bone strength.
Multivitamins provide essential nutrients that support overall health.

Femarelle® works as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)-like compound, targeting estrogen-sensitive tissues such as bone, brain, and muscles without raising systemic estrogen. Because it does not interfere with nutrient absorption or metabolism, it can complement these supplements to support bone, joint, skin, and overall wellness during estrogen decline.

Always follow the recommended dosages for each supplement, and consult your healthcare provider if you are taking prescription medications or have underlying health conditions.

No special diet or extreme exercise routine is needed. Follow consistent, healthy habits alongside Femarelle® for optimal support during estrogen decline.

Femarelle® is a non-hormonal, SERM-like (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) supplement designed to support estrogen-sensitive tissues such as bones, muscles, brain, and joints during estrogen decline.

While HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy) provides systemic estrogen, which can relieve menopausal symptoms effectively, it carries potential long-term risks, including:
DVT (Deep Vein Thrombosis) and Stroke
CHD (Coronary Heart Disease)
Increased risk of certain cancers, including breast cancer
Potential cognitive risks, such as Alzheimer’s disease

Femarelle® offers a safer alternative for women who want to ease symptoms of estrogen decline such as hot flashes, mood swings, low energy, hair loss and skin dullness, vaginal dryness, bone and muscle weakness and more without the systemic estrogen exposure or associated risks of HRT (Hormone Replacement Therapy).

DT56a, the active ingredient in Femarelle®, is a non-hormonal, SERM-like (Selective Estrogen Receptor Modulator) compound that works differently from both systemic hormones and typical phytoestrogens.

Safety Concerns:

Femarelle® range of Natural Diet Supplements for Women are non‑hormonal and designed to support women during phases of estrogen decline, via our patented Soya Protein Isolate (DT56a) plus supportive nutrients.
Scientific studies on DT56a indicate that while it activates certain estrogen‑receptor pathways, it does not stimulate breast tissue or endometrial (uterus lining) growth.
"No estrogenic effect on breast or uterus" means that in clinical and laboratory settings, DT56a did not promote changes in breast cancer tissue lines (MCF‑7), nor did it increase endometrial thickness in study participants.
At Femarelle®, we are committed to providing you with a natural, safe‑support option for your estrogen decline phase: pre-perimenopause, peri-menopause, menopausal and peri‑menopausal health that respects the sensitivity around breast and uterine tissues.

Femarelle® has been available since 2000 with more than 9.5 million months of use, and, to date, no significant adverse reactions have been reported. However, each of us can have a different reaction to anything we consume. If you experience side effects, we advise you to consult your physician.
Note that Femarelle® contains soy.
As with any supplement, individual responses vary.

If you have any specific questions regarding the possible interaction with your medication or supplements, we advise you to consult your healthcare practitioner.

Yes, Femarelle® is safe for long-term use.
DT56a in Femarelle® acts as a selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM)-like compound in target tissues without raising systemic estrogen levels unlike traditional hormone replacement therapy (HRT), which can stimulate breast and uterine tissue and carries long-term risks such as increased likelihood of clotting or certain cancers.
Compared to general isoflavones or phytoestrogen supplements, Femarelle® DT65a has decades of clinical evidence supporting its safety, while also providing targeted support for bone, mood, sleep, hair and skin, vaginal and muscle health in women experiencing estrogen decline.

Thyroid problems can also interact with estrogen metabolism, which is why women with thyroid conditions may notice heavier or lighter periods, fatigue, and mood swings.
PCOS affects how your body responds to changes in estrogen, making some symptoms (irregular periods, acne, weight gain, hair thinning or excess hair growth, insulin resistance, and fatigue) similar to early estrogen decline.
Femarelle® supports symptoms related to estrogen decline, but it does not treat thyroid disease or PCOS directly. If you take thyroid medication, insulin, or other hormone-related medications, consult your doctor before starting Femarelle®.

After pregnancy, your estrogen levels naturally drop, which can lead to fatigue, mood swings, sleep disturbances, and changes in bone or muscle health.
We strongly recommend that you consult your healthcare provider before taking Femarelle®.

Emotional:

Fatigue, low mood, irritability, or difficulty concentrating can be caused by many factors, but when they appear alongside other signs of estrogen decline, they may be hormone-related. Common indicators include:
Sleep disturbances like difficulty falling or staying asleep, or feeling unrested.
Low energy or fatigue like persistent tiredness not explained by lifestyle.
Mood swings, anxiety, or irritability like changes in emotional regulation.
Changes in muscle or joint strength like increased weakness or stiffness even after adequate rest and recovery period.
Hair thinning or skin changes like noticeable reduction in hair volume or skin dullness.
Vaginal dryness.

Even in your 30s, estrogen levels can start to fluctuate as part of the natural aging process. Early signs of declining estrogen may be subtle but noticeable, including:
Mood changes: irritability, anxiety, or unexplained low mood
Fatigue or low energy: feeling tired despite adequate rest
Sleep disturbances: trouble falling asleep or staying asleep
Reduced libido: changes in sexual desire
Irregular menstrual cycles: lighter, heavier, or more unpredictable periods
Hair thinning or skin changes: loss of hair volume, dryness, or reduced skin elasticity
Weight changes: slight weight gain or changes in body composition, often around the abdomen

Yes, it is completely normal to feel “off” even when your medical tests come back normal. Tests measure specific markers or conditions, but they can’t capture everything about how your body or mind is functioning day-to-day. Factors such as stress, sleep quality, hormonal fluctuations, nutrition, mental health, and lifestyle changes can all affect how you feel without showing up on standard lab results.

Feeling “off” could also be an early sign of changes that aren’t yet detectable with routine tests, such as pre-perimenopause/perimenopause, thyroid fluctuations, or subtle nutrient deficiencies. It’s important to communicate these feelings to your doctor, even if your labs look normal, because your experiences are valid and can help guide symptom management, lifestyle adjustments, or further evaluations.
