Launching Lutea™ - and how it's different to Nettle™
We’re thrilled to introduce Lutea™ - our newest product, and our first release in the United States. Lutea™ is built on the same scientific foundation as Nettle™, but it represents a new perspective on how we think about women’s brain health, daily wellbeing, and self-care.
We asked Nettle™ users about their experience - here’s what they said
Real women, real results. After six months with Nettle™, users reported fewer sick days, less reliance on medication, and reduced GP visits. 80% said they regained nearly a month of life each year, 9 in 10 changed how they use painkillers or hormones, and over half wish GPs offered Nettle™ first. Proof that menstrual health can mean fewer pills, fewer appointments - and more control.

Why do we keep running clinical trials when our devices are already available? In health tech, launch isn’t the end of the science; it’s often the beginning. This piece, written by our Research and Data Manager, Ieva, explains what clinical trials actually test, why brain-based technologies like tDCS need especially rigorous evidence, and how ongoing research helps us be precise about who our products help, how, and under what conditions. It’s a look behind the scenes at how Samphire builds evidence, so we can make brain-based relief available to even more women.
Top 5 Stress Management Techniques That Actually Work
Stress cannot be eliminated, but it can be managed in ways that genuinely change how the body and brain respond.
