How We Make Things

"I could not find a clean protein that wasn't whey or pea protein. I won't eat either."

We therefore developed Her Protein to help:

Balance hormones in perimenopause and menopause
Restore leaner body composition
Build muscle and strength
Improve metabolic efficiency
Support cognitive function

DO YOU SHIP TO CANADA?

Yes, we now do! If you’re in Canada, you should be automatically directed to our Wellena Canada store. wellena.com/en-ca

DO YOU SHIP TO THE UK, AUSTRALIA OR OTHER COUNTRIES?

Unfortunately, at this point we only ship to the United States. This is due to the ever-evolving international laws surrounding supplements.

There are forwarding companies like MyUS.com, that will forward orders to you in your country for a fee.

In this case, it is the customer’s responsibility to find out in advance if the supplement in question is legal in their country.

WHY DOES SHIPPING COST $11.45?

For small businesses like ours, the shipping fee covers the very real costs of getting your order to you: shipping, handling, packaging, warehousing, insurances, and fairly compensating all the people involved along the way. We do our best to keep this shipping cost as low as possible, and offer FREE shipping for orders $97 and above.

WHY DOES MY SUBSCRIPTION ORDER INCLUDE $11.45 SHIPPING?

If you set up a subscription order and notice that you are being charged shipping, it could be due to one of these reasons:

1. Your order value is under $97

2. Your initial order qualifies for free shipping, but the order frequency on your subscriptions is different ( 1 product is set to ship every month, the other is set to ship every 2 months).

*The system automatically splits this kind of order into 2 separate shipments.

In this case it is more economical to set up one subscription every 2 months, and to increase your quantity to 2 units of the supplement that you consume monthly.

For example: 2 Vitamin B6 + 1 Essential Omegas every 2 months = free shipping.

Please email us at support@hormonesbalance.com if you would like some help managing your subscriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

There are 4 distinct challenges.

Peas and pea protein is hard to digest. Why does it matter? As estrogen starts dropping in perimenopause, it changes the gut microbiome which then results in women experiencing more GI problems. Peas make it worse and this can result in more INFLAMMATION. We want to reduce inflammation in perimenopause!
Pea protein is not a complete protein and doesn’t have all the amino acids that women in perimenopause need. Her Protein contains all 19 aminos.
Pea is generally low in protein content (8-15 grams).
Pea has a poor taste and texture many women find off-putting.

While whey protein is a complete protein and it tastes good, it contains dairy which can be inflammatory for many women. Dairy often causes GI problems (including chronic constipation, bloating), skin issues, cognitive problems (brain fog, anxiety), weight gain, and systemic body inflammation that lead to hormonal dysregulation. Furthermore, most whey makers don’t disclose their sources - it’s hard for the buyer to know if the cows were grass-fed (rarely the case) or came from industrial lots, were given antibiotics, growth hormones, and GMO crop

Creatine supports muscle, bone, brain, and energy health, making it valuable during hormonal changes such as perimenopause. Preserves muscle: Helps maintain muscle mass and strength. Boosts energy: Reduces fatigue by replenishing cellular energy (ATP). Supports brain health: Improves memory, focus, and cognitive function. Enhances recovery: Speeds up recovery after exercise. Improves mood: May help with mood regulation and reduce anxiety or depression.

Yes, creatine is considered safe for long-term use when taken within recommended doses of 5 grams. It is one of the most well-researched supplements, and studies have shown no significant long-term side effects when used appropriately. However, it’s important to stay well-hydrated, as creatine draws water into muscles, which can increase the risk of dehydration if you’re not drinking enough fluids. If you have kidney disease or any pre-existing kidney conditions, consult with a healthcare provider before using creatine.

There is no definitive consensus on the “best” time to take creatine and Her Protein, but research suggests that taking it post-workout may be slightly more beneficial. Post-workout creatine, taken with a meal containing carbohydrates and protein, may help with muscle uptake and recovery. However, creatine can be effective regardless of timing as long as it is taken consistently. Some people prefer to take it before a workout to help boost performance during their exercise, but the timing is not as critical as regular use.

Yes, studies show that is does help prevent muscle loss, can help build muscle, and strength when combined with strength training.

Creatine does not appear to harm the kidneys in healthy individuals when taken at recommended doses of no more than 5 grams. However, there have been concerns that it could stress the kidneys in those with pre-existing kidney conditions. If you have any kidney disease or a history of kidney issues, it’s important to consult a healthcare provider before using creatine. For most people with healthy kidneys, creatine is safe, and there is no evidence to suggest it causes kidney damage when used as directed.

Most people begin to notice the benefits of creatine within the first week to 10 days, especially if they follow the loading phase. With a daily dose of 3–5 grams, it may take a bit longer (about 3–4 weeks) to fully saturate the muscles. Once saturated, the benefits are generally sustained as long as supplementation continues.

Monk fruit is a small green melon-like fruit native to southern China and Thailand. It has been used for centuries in traditional Chinese medicine for its purported health benefits. It’s a natural sweetener and can be 300 times sweeter than sugar.

Yes, monk fruit is considered safe and healthy. It is a natural product with no known harmful side effects when used in moderation. Monk fruit has a zero glycemic index, meaning it does NOT raise blood sugar levels, making it a popular choice for people with high or fluctuating blood sugar levels. If extracted correctly, it can be also free of artificial chemicals and preservatives. Her Protein contains ONLY monk fruit, without erythritol which commonly added to monk fruit sweetener.

No, monk fruit has zero calories and does not raise blood sugar levels, making it an excellent choice for people managing their weight, blood sugar, or diabetes. The mogrosides in monk fruit provide sweetness without affecting insulin or glucose metabolism. It’s also a good option for those on low-carb or ketogenic diets.

Monk fruit extract is much sweeter than regular sugar, with the sweetness ranging from 100 to 300 times higher that of sugar, depending on the concentration of mogrosides in the product. Because it is so much sweeter, only a small amount of monk fruit extract is needed to replace sugar in recipes or beverages.

Her Protein’s monk fruit does not have a strong aftertaste and certainly less than stevia.

Sugar alcohols can cause digestive issues when ingested and have not been studied long enough to clear them as being safe when used in the long term.

Inositol is a type of sugar that is found in many foods and is involved in several important biological processes, including the formation of cell membranes, fat metabolism, and insulin signaling. It exists in several forms, with myo-inositol and D-chiro inositol being the most commonly studied and showing significant health benefits. Her Protein uses both of these inositol forms.

Inositol has been studied for a variety of health benefits, including: Metabolic health: It may improve insulin sensitivity and help with blood sugar regulation - a significant benefit to women going through perimenopause and into menopause. Brain health: It plays a role in neurotransmitter function and cell signaling, which could be beneficial for brain health. Mental health: It may help reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. PCOS & Fertility: Inositol (especially a combination of myo-inositol and D-chiro inositol) may help regulate menstrual cycles, improve insulin sensitivity, reduce ovarian cysts in women with PCOS and even improve egg quality and ovarian function in women with fertility issues.

Inositol, particularly in the form of a combination of myo-inositol and D-chiro inositol, is commonly used to manage symptoms of perimenopause, in these ways: Balances hormones: Regulates insulin and reduces androgen imbalances. Boosts metabolic health: Improves insulin sensitivity and aids weight management. Improves mood: Supports serotonin and dopamine pathways, easing anxiety and mood swings. Enhances sleep: Promotes relaxation and reduces insomnia or racing thoughts.

Inositol is generally considered safe with minimal side effects. However, some people may experience mild gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, bloating, gas, or diarrhea - however, these are more common in higher doses. These symptoms typically go away with time or when the dosage is adjusted. If you experience persistent or severe side effects, it’s a good idea to consult with a healthcare professional.

While inositol isn’t directly marketed as a weight loss supplement, some studies suggest that it can indirectly support weight management, particularly women with high/fluctuating blood sugar levels. By improving insulin sensitivity and regulating blood sugar levels, it may help reduce cravings and support healthy metabolism, which could contribute to a healthy weight loss over time.

Yes, inositol is found in a variety of foods, particularly in fruits, beans, grains, and nuts. However, the amounts you get from food are often much lower than what is used in studies.

Inositol is generally well-tolerated, but it may interact with medications that affect insulin or blood sugar levels. For example, if you’re taking medication for diabetes or insulin resistance, it’s important to talk to your healthcare provider before adding inositol to your regimen, as it could enhance the effects of these medications.

Inositol can correct high testosterone levels in a person with high levels (like PCOS). However, inositol would not reduce healthy or low levels of testosterone.

Collagen is like a "repair specialist" for your skin, joints, and connective tissues. Think of it as your go-to for beauty and joint health. Protein powder is like "fuel for your muscles and metabolism." It’s what you need for building strength, staying lean, and energizing your body.

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in certain foods (like meat and fish) and also synthesized by the body. It is stored in muscles as phosphocreatine and helps produce ATP (adenosine triphosphate), the primary energy source for high-intensity, short-duration activities like weightlifting, sprinting, and jumping.

By increasing the available ATP in muscles, creatine enhances performance, allowing for more powerful bursts of energy during exercise.
