How do you take FEMOIRE NOVIA? How many capsules, when, and whether to pause during your period

Short answer: Take one capsule of FEMOIRE NOVIA a day, after a meal, with water. There is no need to pause during your period. A bottle holds 60 vegetable capsules, exactly 60 days at one a day. Once perimenopause or menopause begins, Wellous recommends one NOVIA capsule and one ISODUCE Plus sachet a day; the easiest way is to take them together after breakfast.

How do you take it, at a glance?

Why after a meal?

Taking NOVIA after food helps your body take up the saffron and fenugreek in it, and it is gentler on the stomach. Any meal works. Pick the one you never skip, keep the bottle there, and it's hard to forget.

There is no need to take more than one capsule a day. Plant phytoestrogens build up slowly, over about 8–12 weeks, so taking it every day matters more than taking more.

Changes in hormones, mood and sleep take time to build. Taking it every day matters more than the exact time.

Do you need to pause during your period?

• On the days of your period: keep taking one capsule after a meal. NOVIA contains no synthetic hormones, and its plant phytoestrogens are gentler than hormone medicines.
• When to stop: if your flow gets clearly heavier or longer, or you bleed between periods, stop and see a doctor.
• Once it has finished: go back to one capsule a day after a meal.
• In the first few weeks: your period may come sooner or later than usual, or be heavier. Your advisor checks in at week 2 to ask how you're doing.
• If it has been 12 months or more since your last period: bleeding of any kind is not normal. Stop taking it and see a doctor.

What can you take it with?

• ISODUCE Plus: yes. One NOVIA capsule after a meal plus one ISODUCE Plus sachet a day, easiest together after breakfast; together they make the FEMOIRE Bloom Set. ISODUCE Plus contains soy, so take care if you are allergic to soy.
• The pill, hormone replacement therapy (HRT), blood thinners, thyroid medicine or psychiatric medicine: ask your doctor first.

Who must not take it, and who should ask a doctor first?

• Pregnant, breastfeeding or trying to conceive: do not take it (it contains saffron and fenugreek)
• Under 18: not suitable
• A current or past hormone-sensitive condition (cancer of the breast, uterus or ovaries, endometriosis, fibroids): not suitable
• Taking hormonal medication, blood thinners, thyroid medicine or psychiatric medicine: ask your doctor first
• Having medical treatment or living with a long-term condition: ask your doctor first
• Allergic to any ingredient in the formula: do not take it

Not feeling anything? What can you adjust?

1. Check you take it every day: one capsule a day after a meal, including during your period.
2. Keep the bottle where you eat: it's the easiest way not to forget.
3. Give it time: Wellous recommends 2–3 months. Skin and intimate comfort usually follow in months 2–3.
4. Ask your advisor: your advisor checks in on day 1, at week 2 and at months 1, 2 and 3 (3-bottle plan). Don't feel a genuine difference within 30 days? You get 100% of what you paid back.
