Get your brain back.
A daily supplement protocol built around your symptoms by a 3-minute quiz - studied ingredients at studied doses, re-personalized every month as you change.
Nobody prepared you for this. You're not imagining it.
Four hours of sleep, then wide awake with your mind racing. Words that won't come when you need them, in the meeting where you need them most. A doctor who says you're too young, or hands you a pamphlet, or tells you to sleep more. And a supplement aisle - online and off - full of promises that all sound the same.
You're not behind, and you're not broken. You're going through the biggest hormonal shift of your adult life with less guidance than you got for puberty. 90% of women say they were never taught about menopause. Only about 3,000 certified menopause practitioners exist in the entire US.
So you did what you always do: the research yourself. Here's the brand that did it with you.
"My peri brain can't figure out what to take and when to take it so I'm just not. Decision paralysis is my new normal."
- from a menopause community thread
"Selling unnecessary supplements at a higher price than most others and justifying them with un-credible studies. Feels too predatory."
- from a menopause community thread
One protocol. Built for you. Adjusted as you change.
Take the 3-minute quiz.
Your symptoms, your meds, what you already take, what you want to fix first.
Get your daily protocol.
Studied ingredients at studied doses, matched to your symptoms - nothing you already take, nothing that doesn't belong.
Check in, adjust, repeat.
A two-tap monthly check-in tracks what's changing. Your protocol changes with it.
Your protocol, versioned like software.
Most brands sell you a bottle and disappear. Sage Ember runs a loop instead: measure, match, adjust. Your stack has a version number - and a changelog you can actually read.
Your first protocol
Built from your 3-minute quiz: symptoms, medications, what you already take, and your 90-day goal.
Two taps a month
"Last month you said sleep mattered most. How is it going?" Your answers drive the next version.
One change at a time
Adjust, add, or drop - never more than one change per cycle, with the reason shown. No overwhelm, no guesswork.
Deduplication is automatic: already taking magnesium? It is removed from your box before it is ever priced in.
What's inside, and exactly why.
Every ingredient below is dosed at the level used in human studies. Every batch is third-party tested, and the certificates are published. Where the evidence is early or mixed, we say so.
Magnesium glycinate
Studied dose: 200 mg- What it is
- The glycinate form of magnesium - the form and dose used in sleep research, and gentle on the gut.
- What the research supports
- Supports restful sleep and promotes relaxation.
- What we don't know yet
- Most sleep studies are small and few are run specifically in perimenopausal women. We dose to the research that exists and say that out loud.
Creatine monohydrate
Studied dose: 5 g- What it is
- The most-studied sports and cognition ingredient there is - and yes, it's for you too.
- What the research supports
- Supports cellular energy and cognitive function; supports muscle strength and lean mass in combination with resistance training.
- What we don't know yet
- The brain-fog research in this life stage is promising but young. We think it's the most interesting ingredient in the category - and we still won't oversell it.
Vitamin D3 + K2
Studied dose: 2,000 IU + MK-7- What it is
- The pair behind bone health that most women over 40 are low on without knowing it.
- What the research supports
- Helps maintain strong bones.
- What we don't know yet
- How much K2 adds on top of D3 is still being sorted out in trials. We include both because the safety case is strong and the upside is real.
Omega-3, EPA-forward
Studied dose: 1,000 mg EPA+DHA- What it is
- Fish oil with the EPA share pushed up - the form with the strongest signal in mood and cognition research.
- What the research supports
- Supports cognitive function and emotional well-being.
- What we don't know yet
- Results across mood studies are mixed. The EPA-heavy formulas show the clearest signal, which is why we use one.
Ashwagandha KSM-66
Studied dose: 300 mg- What it is
- A specific, standardized root extract - the exact one used in most human studies, not generic ashwagandha powder.
- What the research supports
- Supports a healthy stress response and promotes relaxation.
- What we don't know yet
- Long-term use beyond a few months isn't well studied. Not for pregnancy or thyroid conditions without your doctor's OK - our quiz screens for this.
S-equol (optional module)
Studied dose: 10 mg- What it is
- A compound some women's gut bacteria make naturally from soy. Most Western women don't make it, which is the logic behind supplementing it.
- What the research supports
- Studied for hot flashes associated with menopause. The honest caveat: the North American Menopause Society says no supplement is proven for hot flashes. We include S-equol only where the ingredient-level evidence is strongest, and we'd rather tell you that than promise anything.
- What we don't know yet
- Not everyone responds. If heat is your main issue, this is a conversation to have with your doctor too - our quiz will say so.
Why no black cohosh?
It's the most-searched menopause ingredient in America. It also carries case reports of liver injury and a history of adulteration, and the evidence for it is inconsistent. We left it out. That's what "evidence-first" means when it's inconvenient.
The most honest subscription in the category. Yes, that's a low bar. We clear it anyway.

No reviews here. On purpose.
Sage Ember has not shipped its first box, so there are no customer reviews to show you - and we will not rent any. Anyone can buy five stars. We would rather earn ours.
Real voices, real category
What women actually say in menopause communities is what we built against - decision paralysis, predatory pricing, "proprietary blends." Their words are up the page, cited as what they are: community threads, not our customers.
Your doctor stays in the loop
The quiz screens for conditions and medications that change what is safe for you, flags what to raise with your clinician, and generates a printable summary to bring to an appointment. We never gate medical care - we point at it.
Independent clinical review
Every formula is built from published human research, with doses matched to the studies. An independent women's-health clinician board is being seated now - names and credentials publish on this page before the first box ships.
Real questions, straight answers.
Is this hormone therapy?
No. These are dietary supplements. They are not HRT, and they are not a replacement for medical care. Many of our customers use them alongside HRT for the gaps it leaves (sleep, gut, energy); others can't or don't want to use hormones. Either way, tell your doctor what you're taking - we make that easy with a printable ingredient list.
Will this fix my hot flashes?
Honest answer: the North American Menopause Society says no supplement is proven for hot flashes, so we don't claim ours will. Our formulas focus on sleep, brain fog, energy, and stress response - the areas with the strongest ingredient-level evidence.
What if it doesn't work for me?
60-day money-back guarantee, no forms and no return shipping. If you don't feel a difference, we don't want your money.
Can I cancel anytime?
One click, from your account page, effective immediately. We also email you before every charge so nothing surprises you.
I'm already taking magnesium / creatine / vitamin D.
The quiz asks what you take and builds around it. No double-dosing, ever.
Is it tested?
Every batch, by an independent third-party lab, for identity, potency, heavy metals, and microbes. Certificates are published on the product page.
Is this FDA approved?
Dietary supplements are not FDA-approved - no one's are. What we do: manufacture in GMP-certified US facilities, test every batch, notify the FDA of our label claims, and follow FDA and FTC rules on what we say.
Who makes this? Where is it made?
We manufacture in GMP-certified facilities in the United States. The partner name and facility location will be published right here at launch - we'll never be vague about who makes what you take.
When is my card charged?
Not when you reserve. A reservation costs nothing and needs no card. We email you before the founding batch ships with your exact total - you confirm or cancel then. Once you are a subscriber, we email before every charge, always.
When does the first box ship?
We are finalizing manufacturing with our GMP partner now. Founding-batch reservations get the first units and a firm ship date by email - before anyone is charged. If the timeline does not work for you then, cancel in one click.
