LYMA has changed the way the world looks at supplements. However, the lack of regulation means that the industry is awash with low-quality products that deliver little or no benefit with bold claims and no real evidence to support them. LYMA is different. We refuse to work with unproven ingredients that offer nothing outside of hope and hype. LYMA is the first supplement company to use eleven of the best, patented ingredients, proven in peer-reviewed clinical trials to restore ultimate balance and enable you to start feeling your best. This is the LYMA difference. No other supplement comes close.
The LYMA Supplement is engineered without the inclusion of sedatives. Finding deep, quality sleep will require a change in lifestyle, challenging you to cut out the things causing problems and embracing new ways to find your serenity at bedtime. Diet, supplementation and exercise are key factors in realising your potential for optimal shut eye.
LYMA is unlike any other supplement. LYMA’s formulation contains clinically proven, patented ingredients which are provided at proven dosage levels. All of our award-winning ingredients are engineered to deliver exceptional qualities such as enhanced bioavailability, improved stability and extensive research. No other product has the exceptional qualities. Over 50 research groups contributed to this formulation, involving many hundreds of scientists with others based at over 25 universities and research institutions.
The menopause years shouldn't be something you have to get through. Instead of feeling like you're lost to the chaos, this natural change has the potential to be something of a power surge. LYMA aims to transform the entire landscape of the menopause experience. Whilst the effects of menopause are very diverse from changes in energy mood and libido to temperature control, taking control makes a huge difference to how women experience them.

The supplement industry falls under food law, which means that while formulas have to pass a safety check, there is no system in place to assess if they can deliver the benefits they claim or if they've been correctly dosed. It's perfectly legal to buy a supplement that has no evidence to prove it does what it claims on the label, and then there's LYMA. In contrast we subject ourselves to the most scrupulous possible testing to ensure that we can prove the LYMA formula will deliver. No generalising. No vague promises. Just the best scientific evidence.
The issue of bioavailability is crucial to whether a supplement works or not because, even the highest quality of natural ingredients can have zero effect if the body is unable to digest them. Sometimes it’s a case of the body breaking it down too quickly, the dose being too low or our complex biological systems simply being unable to process them. Most nutrients are taken in by the small intestine and absorbed into the blood but if the body doesn’t recognise it or see it as useful, it will be broken down by digestive juices and swiftly passed out again.
Every patented ingredient in LYMA is engineered to be fully bioavailable. Whilst most supplements will just pass straight through the digestive system, or worse still, be destroyed by the acid in your stomach; each ingredient in the LYMA formula has been engineered to survive this process, and be absorbed in full by the body, ensuring you receive its maximum benefits.
The truth about supplements is that the dosage of each ingredient is fundamental to its efficacy. Vitamins, minerals and all health supplements have to list their formulations on the label and often that's a long and impressive list but deciphering how much of everything is in there, is another matter. The key message? Dosage really matters.
1. Supplement ingredients lists do not tell you the whole picture
“Ingredients labels are supposed to tell you how much is in there but they don't always get it right because some of them are using subpar manufacturers who simply can't technically ensure the right doses of all the ingredients. Secondly, most supplements are pretty non-functional, they're just vitamins and minerals or some people call them trace elements and they're designed to give you the correct daily dosage but there's no evidence that they actually do anything. In fact, multivitamins are amongst the most common category of supplements to have no benefits at all. That's been proven again and again.”
2. There are no minimum dosage guidelines for supplement manufacturers
“They don't have to do anything. In fact, if any ingredient is very expensive then typically what some unscrupulous manufacturers will do is say it contains ingredient X, which people think is a good thing, but it's present at way below the dose that was shown to be effective in the clinical paper. There's an awful lot of very shoddy products around."
3. Many supplement brands dose well below the clinically proven level
“Some extracts and compounds are very expensive and if a company is geared towards cutting costs, including nominal amounts is one of the ways they will do it. These companies know that the people who obsess about a particular extract will look for the inclusion of that extract. Only then, when you look closely at what's in the supplement, it’s dosed way below the level that was shown to be effective in clinical trials. So there's a label claim but now there's nothing to back that up.”
If a supplement provides half of a clinical dose, you do not get half the benefit
“It doesn’t work like that. You may get none, you may get it all. You can't generalize because different actives work in different ways. If an ingredient is scientifically proven to work, it will have done so at a specific amount and it's imperative that you're taking that full proven amount. ”
