Core Molecule Founder Story
I’m a mum, a nurse and I have 30 years of experience working in health care.
Core Molecule began during one of the most emotionally difficult periods of my life - even though I didn’t know it at the time.
Three miscarriages in a short space of time. The losses came quickly.
Then finally, the joy of becoming pregnant, followed by months of feeling desperately unwell.
At the same time, I was trying to do everything “right.”
Eat well. Get nutrients from food. Eat oily fish for omega-3 which I new I needed for the healthy development of my baby
But then came the other warnings: watch mercury, avoid certain fish, be careful where fish comes from. The advice started to feel contradictory.
And if I’m honest, that was probably the beginning of my health anxiety too.
So I turned to supplements instead. But that opened another problem.
The capsules were enormous, the smell repeated on me for hours. and the labels were almost impossible to make sense of.
Nobody explained dosage or oxidation properly. Nobody explained freshness. And nobody talked about the impact on our oceans.
I wanted to make my own decisions, but the answers simply weren’t there.
And sometimes I found myself wondering: were brands deliberately keeping people in the dark?
The deeper I looked, the more I realised how noisy and confusing the supplement industry had become - and in the years that followed, it only became louder.More choice didn’t mean more clarity. ( leave out?)
So I became slightly obsessed. Ok, more than slightly.
I started reading research papers and learning everything I could about omega-3s. Oxidation. Freshness. Sustainability. Why some oils tasted awful and others didn’t. Why quality mattered so much.
Over the years, I realised women were still asking the same questions I had once asked myself. What is safe? What do I need? Can I trust this brand?
That’s when Core Molecule truly started forming in my mind.
I didn’t want to create just another supplement. I wanted to create an omega-3 built around standards that felt impossible to compromise on.
Quality had to become an obsession. And it truly did.
Meaningful dosage, low oxidation, no unnecessary ingredients, no overpowering smell and no harming oceans to create it.
This brand is deeply personal. As a nurse, I know what works. As a mum, I know what matters.
When it comes to women’s health, clarity shouldn’t be this hard to find.
