A new chapter in women’s health.
FemmeBiomeTM is a health supplement company, a spin-out from UCC, uniquely focused on the female biome - the bacterial community in a woman's gut.
Built on more than two decades of frontier research into the microbiome-gut-brain axis and its role in women’s health, FemmeBiomeTM is translating scientific insight into health solutions designed around women’s biology.
We begin with women’s biology and the changes women experience through life. Our purpose is to turn advanced scientific understanding into trusted products and experiences that help women feel and function more like themselves.
Our scientific foundation brings neuroscience to women’s health, with particular interest in the brain’s role in the changes women experience through menopause.
FemmeBiome builds on more than two decades of research into the microbiome-gut-brain axis, hormonal change and women’s health. This neuroscience expertise informs the questions we ask and the solutions we choose to develop.
FemmeBiome was founded by Professor Siobhain O’Mahony, an international women’s health luminary, with the aim to move women’s health insight beyond the research setting and into practical, accessible solutions that could help women.
The company is building its team and brings together scientific, product, regulatory and commercial capability.
FemmeBiome has enjoyed the support of the international food science powerhouse University College Cork to translate established research capability into a focused women’s health company with products, evidence and a route to market. The company was spun out in mid 2026.
MoreMe is FemmeBiome’s first product, developed for women navigating perimenopause and menopause. It is the first expression of our approach: begin with women’s changing biology, build a specific solution and learn carefully from women’s real experience.
Ahead of wider market introduction, FemmeBiomeTM is preparing two opportunities to experience MoreMe: The Pioneer Programme and Founding 50, our paid early-access group. Each has its own participation requirements and timing.
Be part of the next stage of FemmeBiomeTM. Explore The Pioneer Programme or register your interest in Founding 50, our paid early-access group.
We welcome conversations with prospective investors and partners who can help strengthen the evidence, manufacture, route to market and future growth of FemmeBiome.
