Core Culture NuWomen Ingredients

Each two-capsule serving provides the following:

• Ashwagandha KSM-66® (Withania somnifera) Root Extract – 300mg

  KSM-66 delivers standardized ashwagandha root extract with at least 5% withanolides via aqueous extraction, creating a clinically validated adaptogen targeting hormonal balance through multiple pathways. The standardization ensures consistent delivery of bioactive compounds across every serving.

  Meta-analysis examining 12 randomized controlled trials reveals ashwagandha supplementation significantly reduces both stress and anxiety in adults, with dose-response analysis showing optimal effects at 300-600mg daily.^[1] The mechanism centers on modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, directly lowering cortisol levels while supporting balanced stress response.

  Beyond stress management, systematic review and Bayesian meta-analysis demonstrates ashwagandha supplementation enhances physical performance variables including muscle strength, power output, and cardiorespiratory fitness in healthy adults.^[2] Studies using KSM-66® specifically show improvements in cognitive function, sleep quality, and general wellbeing, making this extract relevant for women managing hormonal transitions affecting multiple physiological systems.

  At 300mg per serving, NuWomen provides a clinically relevant dose shown effective in research, supporting both immediate stress response and long-term hormonal equilibrium without stimulants or sedatives.

• Maca (Lepidium meyenii) Root Powder – 300mg

  

  Traditional Peruvian maca root brings adaptogenic support for hormonal transitions and psychological well-being without directly altering hormone levels. Clinical trials demonstrate consistent benefits for menopausal symptoms including hot flashes, disrupted sleep, anxiety, depression, and excessive sweating.^[3] These benefits extend to sexual function, with studies showing improvements in desire and satisfaction independent of changes in estrogen or testosterone levels.

  Maca's effects stem from its action as an adaptogen supporting the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis rather than functioning as a phytoestrogen. The root contains unique compounds called macamides, structurally similar to the endocannabinoid anandamide, which support mood through increased serotonin and norepinephrine transmission. This mechanism explains why women experience psychological benefits including reduced anxiety and improved emotional stability alongside physical symptom relief.

  The 300mg dose provides foundational support for women navigating hormonal fluctuations at any life stage. By supporting stress response systems and neurotransmitter balance rather than manipulating hormone levels directly, maca creates sustainable support for both the physical and psychological dimensions of women's hormonal health.

• Calcium D-Glucarate – 200mg

  Calcium D-glucarate supports estrogen metabolism through its effect on Phase II liver detoxification. Once ingested, it converts to D-glucaric acid and subsequently to D-glucaro-1,4-lactone, the metabolite that inhibits beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme produced by gut bacteria that can interfere with hormone clearance.^[4]

  The Beta-Glucuronidase Problem

  During Phase II detoxification, the liver conjugates estrogen and other hormones with glucuronic acid for excretion through bile. Beta-glucuronidase can break these conjugates apart in the intestines, allowing estrogen to be reabsorbed rather than eliminated.^[5] This enterohepatic recirculation creates a cycle where estrogen returns to circulation instead of leaving the body.

  By inhibiting beta-glucuronidase, calcium D-glucarate helps break this cycle. Research in rats shows it can reduce serum estrogen levels by 23 percent.^[4] For women dealing with bloating, skin issues, or symptoms related to estrogen dominance, supporting efficient estrogen clearance provides foundational hormonal balance alongside NuWomen's other targeted ingredients.

• Phosphatidylserine – 100mg

  

  Core Culture NuMan delivers 14 research-backed ingredients for natural testosterone support. Manufactured at NSF-certified Veritacor in Texas, this formula combines clinical doses of fenugreek, Tongkat ali, maca, and essential micronutrients targeting hormone production and male vitality.

  Phosphatidylserine (PS) is a phospholipid concentrated in brain cell membranes, where it regulates signaling pathways controlling stress response and neurotransmitter function. For women navigating hormonal fluctuations, PS offers targeted support for cortisol management during physical and psychological stress.

  Cortisol Modulation and Hormonal Balance

  Research demonstrates PS supplementation blunts exercise-induced cortisol elevation while improving the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio. In one study, 600mg daily for 10 days reduced cortisol response by 35% during moderate-intensity exercise and increased the testosterone-to-cortisol ratio by 184% compared to placebo.^[6]

  This cortisol-regulating effect extends beyond exercise. Clinical trials using 300-800mg daily show PS attenuates stress-induced spikes in both ACTH and cortisol during psychological stress in healthy adults.^[7]

  Supporting Women's Stress Response

  Chronic cortisol elevation disrupts hormonal balance, contributing to weight gain, mood instability, and menstrual irregularities. By tempering the body's stress response at the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis level, PS helps maintain the hormonal equilibrium necessary for overall wellness.

  At 100mg per serving, NuWomen's PS dose complements the formula's adaptogenic ingredients, providing additional support for women managing stress alongside hormonal transitions.

• DIM (Diindolylmethane) – 75mg

  DIM is a bioactive compound formed when your body digests indole-3-carbinol (I3C), the glucosinolate found in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and cauliflower. While eating these vegetables provides small amounts of DIM, supplementation delivers concentrated doses targeting estrogen metabolism through multiple pathways.

  

  Ever wondered how supplements are made? We got exclusive access to Veritacor Manufacturing -- 210,000 capsules per hour, complex ingredient sourcing, and way more science than you'd expect.

  The compound works primarily by inducing CYP1A1 and CYP1A2 enzymes, which shift estrogen metabolism toward increased 2-hydroxylation. This enzymatic shift raises 2-hydroxyestrone (2-OHE1) levels while lowering 16α-hydroxyestrone (16α-OHE1), improving the 2:16 ratio.^[8] A higher 2:16 ratio indicates more favorable estrogen metabolism, as 2-OHE1 shows weaker estrogenic activity compared to the more mitogenic 16α-OHE1.

  DIM also increases sex hormone-binding globulin (SHBG), the carrier protein that binds and regulates circulating sex hormones. Clinical research in women taking tamoxifen showed DIM supplementation significantly increased both the 2:16 ratio and SHBG levels versus placebo, demonstrating measurable effects on hormonal pathways.^[9]

  By supporting balanced estrogen metabolism and hormone-binding capacity, DIM addresses one of the fundamental mechanisms underlying hormonal health in women.

• BioPerine® (Black Pepper Extract) – 5mg

  BioPerine standardizes black pepper extract to 95% piperine, the alkaloid responsible for enhancing nutrient absorption. Piperine inhibits glucuronidation in the liver and intestinal wall, the metabolic pathway that breaks down and eliminates many compounds before they reach systemic circulation.^[10]

  In NuWomen's context, BioPerine amplifies the bioavailability of the other six ingredients, ensuring ashwagandha, maca, phosphatidylserine, DIM, and calcium D-glucarate achieve higher blood concentrations than they would alone. This allows the formula to use research-backed doses while maximizing their effectiveness through enhanced absorption.

Core Culture Creatine Monohydrate delivers 5g of pure creatine per serving, manufactured at NSF-certified Veritacor in Texas. No fillers, no fluff--just research-backed support for muscle, cognition, and cellular energy. 60 servings of transparency.
