Is Amevola a medicine?
No. It is a food supplement. It is there to support a good diet and a normal life, not to replace either, and not to fix anything.
So what does it actually do?
We only say what is permitted for the nutrients inside. Vitamin B6 contributes to the regulation of hormonal activity. Magnesium contributes to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. That is the honest answer, and anyone promising you more than that is selling you something.
Then why the saffron, the isoflavones and the sage?
Because they are the three things women in midlife ask us about most, and because leaving them out would be its own kind of dodge. So we put them in at a proper dose and we print the number.
What we will not do is tell you what they are "for". European regulators have assessed health claims for botanicals like these and have not authorised them, and in some cases have refused them outright. Plenty of brands work around that with hints, imagery and testimonials. We think that is just wellness theatre with a lawyer, so we are not doing it.
Who is it for?
Women in their 40s and beyond who are done with guesswork and would rather take one honest, well-made daily.
Is it vegan, and where is it made?
Yes, it is vegan. It is made in the EU to GMP standard by a contract manufacturer.
On the Swiss question we are going to be precise, because plenty of brands are not. Amevola the company is in Basel. Amevola the product is made in the European Union, and once the manufacturer is signed we will print the exact country on the label and on this page. What you will never see from us is a Swiss cross or the words "Swiss made", because Swiss law reserves those for products actually made in Switzerland and ours is not one. A company being Swiss does not make its product Swiss, and we are not going to let you believe otherwise.
When can I actually buy it?
Not yet, and we are not going to invent a date to make this page look busier. We are finalising the manufacturer and the formula now. The founding list hears the moment there is something real to say.
Should I check with my doctor first?
If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication or managing a condition, have a quick word with your doctor or pharmacist first. Always sensible.
One we will not bury: the soy isoflavones. European regulators reviewed isoflavone supplements and found no evidence of harm at the doses people actually take, but they were explicit that they could not reach a conclusion for two groups, women still in the transition to menopause and women with a personal or family history of breast cancer. If either is you, talk to your doctor before taking this. We would rather tell you that on the website than in eight-point type on the back of a box.
