Frequently Asked Questions

The Cycle Routine is for every woman with a menstrual cycle. It's a 30-in-3 supplement routine in one daily drink. One sachet a day, three blends that follow your menstrual, follicular and luteal phase. Whether you want to ease PMS and cramps, support clearer skin and better mood across the month, bring your cycle back into rhythm after coming off the pill or have a reliable routine instead of many separate supplements, the Cycle Routine is the daily base it all sits on. Developed by women's health doctors and nutrition experts. Clinically dosed in bioavailable forms. A daily nutritional foundation, not a medicine.

The Cycle Routine combines one daily baseline with three phase-specific blends. Bloody Berry includes iron and vitamin C, Green Glow includes zinc and Calm Choco includes magnesium. Forms such as 5-MTHF folate, iron bisglycinate and magnesium bisglycinate are part of the formulation. One sachet a day brings the routine together, with the ingredients and amounts listed for each blend.

Yes. Your body's needs shift even when you feel good. You lose iron with every period, and in the days before it your need for nutrients like magnesium and B-vitamins rises, whether or not that shows up as cramps or breakouts. The Cycle Routine covers exactly these daily nutrient needs as a woman, tailored to your cycle. Even if you don't have any symptoms, it's worth looking after this, because nutrient gaps tend to build up quietly over the years. Women who start without any real complaints also tell us they notice steadier energy and a calmer, more balanced second half of the cycle. Others are simply relieved to have one routine instead of a shelf of supplements.

We recommend starting on day 1 of your period, with Bloody Berry. That keeps the timing easy: your cycle is clearly defined from day 1 and the box is arranged in that exact order, so there's not much for you to think about. It isn't required, though. If your period isn't due and you want to begin now, open the box and take the sachet that matches the phase you're in, then carry on from there. If your periods remain irregular or stop unexpectedly, have the cause checked first. If pregnancy is possible, rule it out before taking the Cycle Routine.

That is completely normal. A healthy cycle typically varies between 25 and 35 days, and small shifts from month to month are normal too. Only around 13% of women actually have a textbook 28-day cycle. The Cycle Routine follows your rhythm rather than a fixed calendar, so you move through the blends in order: Bloody Berry, then Green Glow, then Calm Choco. Every box includes 2 extra Calm Choco sachets to cover a longer luteal phase. If your cycle is shorter, you might finish Calm Choco a little early or have a sachet spare, then start again with Bloody Berry on day 1 of your next period. If it's longer, stay on Calm Choco until your period comes. If you run out first, a short pause is fine. Long-term consistency matters more than perfect daily coverage.

The Cycle Routine brings together daily nutrients, including Vitamin B6 for the regulation of hormonal activity. If your periods remain irregular or stop unexpectedly, ask your doctor to check the cause before starting. If pregnancy is possible, rule it out before taking the Cycle Routine.

Once you know the routine is suitable for you, take one sachet a day in the order shown. When your period starts, begin the new cycle with Bloody Berry.

Yes, the Cycle Routine is a once-a-day routine: one sachet every day of your cycle. Daily intake gives your body a steady supply of protein, collagen and micronutrients, which is what lets the phased support do its work. Please don't take more than one sachet a day. If you forget one and remember later the same day, take it then. If you only notice the next day, don't double up. Just take the sachet for the phase you are in now and carry on. A single missed day won't undo your progress.

One sachet a day, at a time that fits your routine. If your stomach is sensitive, try the drink with or just after a meal. Follow the preparation instructions on the pack.

Pour 250 to 300 ml of cold water, or an unsweetened plant drink like oat, almond or soy, into a glass or shaker. Add the sachet for your current phase, then stir or shake until the powder has fully dissolved. You can also blend it into a smoothie if you prefer a thicker texture. We don't recommend hot drinks, as some vitamins are not heat-stable. If you would like Calm Choco warm, gently heat your milk until it is just lukewarm rather than hot, then stir the powder in. That keeps the heat-sensitive vitamins intact.

The Cycle Routine works gradually, alongside your biology, not overnight. Your body needs time to take in the daily nutrients and build up its stores. From what our customers tell us, most start to notice something after the first full cycle, typically around three to four weeks: softer PMS, less fatigue around your period, sometimes clearer skin and a brighter mood. By around three cycles, many describe more even energy across the month and noticeably shorter, milder PMS. The deeper changes, such as a more regular cycle, tend to build over roughly six cycles. Because your body responds to consistency, we'd suggest giving it at least three cycles. Many of our customers then keep the Cycle Routine as their daily routine. If you want a sense of what that looks like in real life, have a read of what other women say on our Trustpilot and Reviews.io pages.

Each phase has its own flavour, so the routine stays something you look forward to. Bloody Berry is a red-berry blend of raspberry, strawberry, blueberry and acai. Green Glow is mango and passion fruit with greens, fresh and light. Calm Choco is a dark-chocolate drink that meets the chocolate cravings many women get before their period. All three are only lightly sweet, with no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners. We use natural flavourings only, with at least 95% of the flavour coming from the actual fruit or plant, which is well above the industry norm.

The Cycle Routine uses hydrolysed collagen from grass-fed cattle, a clean and well-absorbed form of bovine collagen. It naturally provides Type I and Type III collagen, the two types your body relies on most for skin, hair, nails, connective tissue and recovery. Over 90% of the collagen in your skin, hair and nails is Type I and Type III, so this matches what your body already uses. We pair it with L-tryptophan, the one essential amino acid collagen lacks, which is also a building block for serotonin. Together they give you over 20g of protein per sachet.

No. The Cycle Routine has no added sugar and no artificial sweeteners, so no sucralose, aspartame or sugar alcohols. There are also no gums, fillers or maltodextrin. Each blend is flavoured naturally instead, so you get a clean source of protein and micronutrients without the sugar spikes or aftertaste that many sweetened supplements leave behind. If you would like it sweeter, mixing Calm Choco with milk or adding a few berries works well and keeps it free from added sugar.

Two products can list the same nutrient and still work very differently, because the form decides how much your body can actually absorb. The Cycle Routine uses bioavailable, active forms throughout. Folate is 5-MTHF, the form your body uses directly, rather than synthetic folic acid that not everyone converts well. B12 is methylcobalamin. Iron is iron bisglycinate, which is gentler on the stomach. Magnesium is a bisglycinate and citrate blend. Cheaper forms exist, but they often need converting first and can be harder to absorb. The point isn't a long ingredient list. It is that what is on the label reaches your cells.

The three blends give your routine a different focus across your cycle. Bloody Berry pairs iron with vitamin C, Green Glow includes zinc and Calm Choco includes magnesium. A shared baseline runs through all three. You follow one daily routine while the phase-specific additions change.

No, the Cycle Routine is not vegan. It contains hydrolysed collagen from grass-fed cattle, which we chose for how well it absorbs and its Type I and III profile. On allergens: Green Glow contains soy lecithin as an emulsifier, so soy is declared as an ingredient there. Bloody Berry and Calm Choco are soy-free. All three blends are gluten-free and GMO-free, with no gums or fillers. As a precaution, every phase may contain traces of gluten, egg, soy, milk and lupines, since they are made in an environment where those are handled. If you have a known allergy, please check the full ingredient list on the pack. If you are unsure, speak to your doctor.

The Cycle Routine is hormone-free and combines protein, vitamins and minerals in one daily drink. Before you start, ask your doctor or pharmacist to check the ingredient list against your contraception and any other medication.

The Cycle Routine supports several of the foundations your reproductive system depends on: steady energy, healthy iron levels and a consistent intake of nutrients like folate, zinc and B-vitamins. Green Glow in particular carries a higher folate dose during the follicular phase. What it does not do is make you fertile or get you pregnant. It nourishes the conditions your hormones work in, rather than fertility itself. If you are trying to conceive, talk to your doctor about what you specifically need, including the right folate intake.

The Cycle Routine contains many essential nutrients, but cannot be recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding. Those stages have very specific nutrient needs for you and your baby. They are best met by supplements made and tested for them, alongside your healthcare provider's guidance. If you used the Cycle Routine before pregnancy, you can return to it once you have finished breastfeeding, to support your cycle as it settles again. When in doubt, check with your doctor before starting again.

For most women, no. The Cycle Routine is built to be your daily base and replace a complicated stack. Each sachet delivers a whole spectrum of nutrients, among them over 20g of protein from collagen and L-tryptophan, a full B-vitamin complex, vitamins D and K, choline, folate, myo-inositol and phase-specific minerals like iron, zinc, selenium and magnesium. The formulation is tailored to what your body needs across the cycle, which is why most women don't need additional supplementation. Check the ingredients and doses of any additional products first, including Omega-3 or creatine. Your doctor or pharmacist can help you check combinations, especially with extra iron or a high-dose multivitamin.

With a subscription you get a box every 28 days, so one per cycle. You're never left without mid-cycle. A one-time box is also available if you'd like to try the Cycle Routine first. A subscription comes with a better price than a one-time box. A longer commitment brings a larger saving. Whichever you choose, a box arrives on the same 28-day rhythm. From your nouxx account you can pause, skip or change your delivery date any time. You can even send a delivery to a friend by switching the shipping address.

Each box holds one full cycle of the Cycle Routine: your Bloody Berry, Green Glow and Calm Choco sachets, arranged in cycle order so you always know which one is next. Every box also includes 2 extra Calm Choco sachets. The luteal phase can run a little longer for some women. Those extras mean you are covered right up to the start of your next period.

Yes. Your subscription is flexible. You can pause it or skip an upcoming delivery whenever you need to, directly in your nouxx account. That is useful if you have built up a little stock, you are travelling or your cycle has shifted. Your subscription picks up again with your next box when you are ready.

You can cancel in your nouxx account once your minimum term has ended, which depends on the subscription plan you chose. Until then, you are welcome to pause or skip deliveries whenever you need a break. After the minimum term, cancelling is something you do yourself in your account, with no email needed.

Yes. Since each box covers one 28-day cycle, it works best when your delivery lands close to the start of your period. You can adjust your delivery date any time in your nouxx account, so each box arrives in step with your cycle rather than on a random calendar date. If your cycle shifts, just move your next delivery to match.

Yes. You can order a single box with no commitment, which is a good way to try the Cycle Routine first. Worth knowing: the Cycle Routine is made to work over time. Most women tell us they feel a real difference after about three cycles, which is why a subscription is the better-value way to stay consistent.
