Our Science

OUR RESEARCH

Quality, and quantity.

Our research shows that cheaper, less absorbable forms of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants are often used in fertility supplements. And in many cases, key ingredients are in doses too low to be effective.

We think that’s wrong.

Our product development is led by embryologists, IVF consultants, nurses, midwives and psychologists, working in both NHS and private clinics across the UK.

Our supplements are grounded in the very latest scientific research, and we’re proud not to scrimp or save on doses at the expense of quality and efficacy.

We’re also proud to be the only brand in the world working in reproductive wellness to review our formulations annually. 

There are over 86,000 studies on fertility and nutrients - and counting.  

Our in-house scientists track the emerging evidence to guide our product development and ensure we lead the market for quality and integrity.

Key Studies

Patent #7,030,102

MicroActive® CoQ10

On average, only 3% percent of the consumed dose of traditional CoQ10 is actually absorbed. As a result, other expensive forms of CoQ10 claiming enhanced bioavailability have been introduced to the market. However, how well they are absorbed varies wildly from person to person. Some will absorb these enhanced forms well while others will absorb only small quantities — uniform bioavailability is not guaranteed.

Supported by five human clinical studies, with 24-hour sustained release, this is where our patented MicroActive® CoQ10 comes in:

  • Our patented MicroActive® CoQ10 has 3.7x higher bioavailability than regular CoQ10.
  • It is also 2x times better absorbed than CoQ10 softgels.
  • The data on Micro Active® CoQ10 supports that a dose of 200mg of this formulation is as effective as the standard formulations at a dose of 600mg.
