The Everee Lab is an ongoing study of women using Everee and Ovitage® products in their everyday lives. In the current study, participants self-select the product most suitable for their life stage and then complete weekly questionnaires to rate their self-assessed impact on the areas of digestion, cognition, energy, strength, sleep, joints, headaches, hair, skin and nails. 

In the study to date 33 participants have used Everee 3 or Everee 4 for at least one week to add to a beverage or food of their choice as part of their daily routine.  

Ten participants have completed questionnaires related to peri-menopause.
All 10 respondents (100%) have reported a positive effect in at least one area.

Due to the relatively low number of respondents the results are considered preliminary. However, it is clear that trial participants are reporting positive effects and issues commonly associated with post menopause are being improved in a manner consistent with the known metabolic impact of Ovitage® and supporting materials in the Everee formulation, in particular in relation to energy, sleep, joints and hair, skin and nails.
