And we're just getting started....

Wild week.

A few days into our Black Friday campaign, this brilliant Daily Mail feature dropped — two women testing Valerie and sharing their real experiences.
 
Since then, it’s been chaos (the good kind). We’ve had two consecutive record-breaking sales days — and there’s no sign of slowing down.

The most interesting part? A huge spike in traffic and orders between 1am and 6am.

If you saw our campaign last month, you’ll know we’ve been talking about being "wired but tired" — lying awake at 3am, doom scrolling, anxious thoughts, and wondering "why can’t I switch off?"

Well… turns out, that’s exactly when a lot of our people are finding us.

Lying awake, scrolling the Daily Mail, and discovering something that finally gets it.

And the timing? Totally unplanned. We had no idea the article was going to land during Black Friday Sale.

But that’s the thing — you make your own luck. Keep grafting, showing up, building relationships… and when the stars align, magic can happen 🧡

When the Kardashian's launch a liposomal supplement… you know the tides are turning 👀

Lemme just say (pun intended): this is huge for the supplement industry.

Kourtney's new liposomal colostrum might make the headlines for all the celebrity reasons — but what it really signals is that liposomal delivery has officially gone mainstream.

For years, smaller, science-led brands like Valerie have been shouting about the power of liposomal technology — because it actually matters. It means better absorption, better efficacy, and products that work.

Now that a brand like Lemme is bringing it to the masses, it means:
 🔥 More awareness
 🔥 More education
 🔥 More people expecting real results from their supplements

At Valerie, we’ve been peddling our liposomal nanotechnology since day one — before trendy celebs got their mitts on it — because women deserve supplements that genuinely do something.

So yes, the Kardashians might be late to the (liposomal) party… but we’ll happily take the extra spotlight on smarter science and better absorption.

Here’s to the rise of truly effective wellness, and looking forward to the halo effect it can bring our way 💥

Pinch me: Valerie is now available at Holland & Barrett 🙌

When we launched Valerie, the mission was simple — to liberate women to live fully and freely at every age. To give women products that actually work for their changing bodies, and do it with honesty, empathy, and a little mischief sprinkled in along the way.

Seeing Valerie now on the digital shelves of Holland & Barrett — a household name in health and wellness — feels like a huge step towards achieving that mission.

For me, this moment isn’t just about distribution. It’s about recognition. That women deserve better: better science, better formulas, better formats, better conversations, and better access.

To our incredible community — your stories, feedback, and fierce advocacy got us here. To our team and investors — thank you for helping us turn a small idea into something that’s genuinely changing lives.

2026 is already shaping up to be one hell of a ride 🚀

Reading The Future of Menopause 2035 by Ultra Violet Agency — and it perfectly captures the cultural shift we’re already living at Valerie.

Menopause is no longer being framed as decline — it’s a new era of vitality, liberation and design-led wellbeing. Women in their 30s and 40s are starting to prepare for perimenopause proactively, seeking smarter, science-backed solutions that fit into their lifestyle.

At Valerie, that’s exactly who we serve: women who want more than symptom relief — they want energy, mood, libido, and the confidence to thrive.

Our use of liposomal delivery, our focus on multi-benefit formulations, and our mission to liberate women to live fully and freely at every age all completely align with this future.

This report is a reminder: by 2035, over 1.2 billion women will be in menopause. 

The brands that win will be the ones that see it not as an end — but as a beginning.

We’re building for that woman.
