Why Supplement Research Needs a New Standard
The supplement industry has a problem: marketing moves faster than science. Too often, brands pack their formulas with a long list of ingredients—most at levels too low to match clinically tested dosages. They use vague claims, cherry-picked data, and research on generic herbs—not patented, clinically studied formulas that deliver real results. And menopause supplements are no exception.
For years, menopause supplements have overpromised and underdelivered—big claims, little science. At Biolae, we’re changing that. We’re creating a new standard in menopause care: nature-derived, clinically tested formulas backed by rigorous trials and supported by medical doctors and naturopaths. Real relief, proven by science.

What Makes a Clinical Trial the Gold Standard?
If a supplement brand claims it’s “clinically tested,” what does that actually mean? Too often, it’s just a marketing buzzword—vague, unverified, and unsupported by real science.
Many brands rely on small, open-label trials—where participants know what they’re taking, skewing the results. Others cite studies on generic herbs but skip the critical steps of standardising extraction methods or isolating the active compounds that actually drive results.
That’s not science.
Take Hops, for example. Most menopause supplements use generic Hops extract, assuming all compounds work the same. They don’t. Biolae does things differently. We extract prenylnaringenin (8-PN)—the most potent phytoestrogen in Hops—through a patented process that delivers a clinically effective dose.
The result? Targeted, proven relief for menopause symptoms.

Understanding Double-Blind, Randomised, Placebo-Controlled Trials
In medical research, the gold standard for proving effectiveness is a double-blind, randomised, placebo-controlled trial (DBRCT).
Here’s how it works:
- Randomised: Participants are randomly assigned to receive either the supplement or a placebo. No cherry-picking.
- Double-blind: Neither the participants nor the researchers know who’s getting what. This eliminates bias.
- Placebo-controlled: One group gets the supplement; the other gets an identical-looking placebo. The difference in results? That’s the supplement’s true effect.
This is how pharmaceuticals are tested. It’s how we determine if a treatment actually works—not just if people believe it does. And yet, almost no menopause supplements undergo this level of scrutiny.
Until now.

Biolae—The First to Bring DBRCTs to Menopause Supplements
Biolae is setting a new standard in menopause health. We’re the first to apply gold-standard clinical testing to a menopause supplement formula. No shortcuts. No half-measures. Just rigorous science.
Our clinical trials have shown:
- 90% of women experienced an improvement in menopause symptoms(1)
- 75% of women experienced a reduction in hot flushes(1)
- 85% of women experienced an improvement in mood(2)
These results aren’t assumptions. They’re from double-blind, placebo-controlled human trials—on real women experiencing menopause.

Our Science-First Approach to Menopause Supplements
Most menopause supplements are built to sell, not to work. Brands stuff them with long ingredient lists, hoping something sticks. But if those ingredients aren’t tested at the right dosages, they’re just filler.
Proven, Clinically Tested Ingredients at Effective Dosages
Biolae’s formula is built differently. Every ingredient we use is:
- Clinically studied—with results from RCTs, not just lab data.
- Dosed at levels shown to be effective—no sprinkling in a little of everything.
- Backed by peer-reviewed research—because claims should be evidence-based, not aspirational.
Transparency in Research and Ingredient Sourcing
Most supplement brands won’t tell you exactly where their ingredients come from or how they test them. We do.
- Every claim we make is backed by published, peer-reviewed DBRCT studies.
- Every batch is third-party tested for purity and potency—not once, but twice. First, before production to verify ingredient integrity. Then again after manufacturing to ensure the final product meets our exacting standards.
- Every ingredient is sourced with traceability in mind from suppliers that meet our rigorous responsible sourcing requirements.
Because women deserve real solutions—not just good marketing.

Leading the Future of Menopause Science
The menopause supplement industry has been built on vague claims, under-dosed formulas, and a lack of real science. It’s time for a shift.
Biolae isn’t just setting a new standard for our products—we’re pushing the industry forward. We believe natural medicine should have the same level of rigour, transparency, and clinical validation as any pharmaceutical drug.
Welcome to a new era of menopause care.
