The Free Soul science board

The science behind Free Soul

Women's health, held to a higher standard.

Every Free Soul product is shaped by real women, formulated by clinicians, grounded in published evidence and third-party tested before it reaches you.

"Most of the research the supplement industry leans on was never done on women. That's the gap we exist to close, with evidence, not marketing."

Natalie Rouse, Head of Nutrition at Free Soul · RNutr, BSc, MRes, MSc

Science advisory board

The people who did the research, so you don't have to.

Every product we make is tested, checked and shaped by people who've spent their careers studying women's health properly.

The process

From 6,000 women to the shelf. Every step, shown.

  1. 1

    It starts with her.

    Through Designed By Her, our co-creation platform, insights from over 6,000 women tell us what to build: the real gaps in women's health, not what's trending.

  2. 2

    The evidence.

    Our nutrition team reviews the published research behind every ingredient: what works, at what dose, in women's bodies. If the evidence is thin, it's out.

  3. 3

    Clinical review.

    Our in-house medical team and expert panel pressure-test every formulation (doses, interactions, life-stage suitability) before anything is made.

  4. 4

    Third-party testing.

    Every product is tested by independent labs before release, so what's on the label is what's in the pouch.

  5. 5

    It never stops.

    Post-launch, products are re-tested, reviewed against new research and reformulated when the science moves.

"We pay for the test, and that's where our input ends. Everything independent, nothing compromised."

  • Backed by published studies

    Every active ingredient is supported by published studies, at the doses we actually use.

  • Our own clinical trials

    Trials on Free Soul formulations are in progress, and we'll always publish what we find.

  • Independent third-party testing

    What's on the label is what's in the pouch, verified by labs we don't own.
