Why does my Proceive® Max change colour from time to time?

Proceive® Max comes in many shades of orange. Not only is this completely normal, it’s quite interesting.

Our products don’t contain any artificial colours or flavours and so the natural, seasonal variation in colour that occurs with nutrients is not masked. For this reason, you may notice some colour variability occurring from batch to batch, some may look more yellow while others more red.

Why are there brown spots on some of my Proceive capsules?

This can happen from time to time, if air gets into the capsule minerals such as iron can oxidise and start to go brown. As there are no additives in Proceive (such as artificial colours) it means you can see it more clearly. Rest assured, this is not harmful however, we do need to report it to our Quality Assurance team. If you have experienced this issue please email an image of the affected product as well as the batch number and best before date to info@proceive.com.

How Do I Know When I Am Ovulating?

Ovulation typically occurs about 14 days before your next period, but this can vary depending on the length of your cycle.

For a standard 28-day cycle, ovulation usually happens around day 14.

To help pinpoint your most fertile days, try using our Ovulation Calculator. It’s a quick and easy way to estimate when you're ovulating and improve your chances of conception.

How To Know When I Am Due?

Your due date is typically calculated based on the first day of your last menstrual period (LMP). The most common method is to add 280 days (or 40 weeks) to the first day of your last period. This is known as the 9-month rule and is based on a regular 28-day menstrual cycle.

However, if your cycle is longer or shorter than 28 days, your due date may vary.

To get a more accurate estimate, you can use our Due Date Calculator.
