Is Amevola a medicine?
No. It is a food supplement. It is there alongside a good diet and a normal life, not instead of either.
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. If anyone promises you more, it is fair to ask them where it is written down.
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 looked at health claims for botanicals like these and have not authorised them, and in some cases refused them outright. So we give you the ingredient, the dose and the freedom to read the research yourself. You are perfectly capable of that, and we would rather hand you the number than a story.
Who is it for?
Women in their 40s, 50s, 60s and past that, who are done with guesswork and would rather take one honest, well-made daily. We are not going to pretend this stops mattering at a birthday.
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. We are choosing the manufacturer and settling the formula right now, and we would rather give you a real date than a hopeful one. The moment there is a real date, the list hears it first.
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.
