Our Story
Introducing Stella: A Hormonal Balance Supplement Inspired by Real Strength and Resilience
Stella is more than just a supplement—it’s a movement, a mission, and a testament to the resilience of Black women. Named after our daughter, Stella, this supplement was inspired by Dorcas's battle with PCOS and fibroids and the countless Black women who face similar challenges with little to no support. Too often, Black women suffer from hormonal imbalances, painful periods, fertility struggles, and dismissive healthcare experiences, all while juggling the demands of everyday life.
We created Stella to change the narrative, to provide Black women with a science-backed solution which is Non-GMO, has No Preservatives, No Artificial Colours, No Fillers and No Binders that supports hormonal balance, reproductive health, energy, and overall well-being. But more than that, Stella is about empowerment, ensuring that no Black woman feels unheard, unsupported, or alone in her hormonal health journey.
Dorcas’s Story: A Journey of Resilience
For Black Women, By a Black Couple
Dorcas, was diagnosed with PCOS in 2018 and multiple fibroids (5) in 2020—a reality that shaped so much of our journey together. From the very beginning, she was met with doubt and discouragement. Many Medical Doctors and health professionals all echoed the same heart-breaking words:
"You will never be able to conceive."
The weight of those words were heavy, but never defined her. Instead, she endured.
For years, crippling pain, excessive bleeding, and relentless fatigue became her norm. Every time she sought help from the NHS, she was handed painkillers, the pill, and tranexamic acid—temporary fixes that masked the symptoms but never addressed the root cause. No real investigations. No real solutions.
We got married in 2021, and when we decided to start a family, the battle only intensified. What should have been an exciting journey was instead filled with fear, frustration, and emergency hospital visits always. Sixteen admissions. Uncontrollable bleeding. Scan after scan, each one leaving us uncertain of what would happen next.
In all this, Archie never missed any antenatal or postnatal appointments. Archie put his life on hold just to be by Dorcas's side. Every hospital trip was a silent prayer, hoping it wouldn’t be the moment things took a turn for the worse. Archie watched —her incredible, resilient wife—break down more times than he could count. Not just from the physical pain, but from the emotional toll of being ignored, dismissed, and repeatedly told she may never become a mother.
But despite the odds, Dorcas carried our daughter, Stella, to 34 weeks before an emergency C-section brought her safely into the world. That moment changed everything.
Determined to find a better way, Archie spent years researching hormonal health for Black women, desperate to understand what could help Dorcas's body function the way it was meant to. And then—everything changed.
For her second pregnancy, Dorcas took the very same nutrients that now form the foundation of Stella Supplement. This time, there were no emergency hospital visits. No terrifying bleeding episodes. No life-altering complications-Pregnancy was smooth, healthy, and full of hope.
From a story of Doctors telling Dorcas she wouldn’t conceive to now—just three years and nine months into our marriage—we have two beautiful children. Dorcas is our success story, and her journey is living proof that hormonal balance is possible.
That’s why we created Stella—because we have seen what works, we have seen what’s possible. And we want every black woman facing these struggles to have the support and solutions they deserve
Stella is more than just a supplement; it’s a testament to the journey of black women, recognizing their unique health challenges and the gaps in care they often encounter. Inspired by Dorcas’s story, our mission is to empower black women with a supplement that understands and supports them, offering a solution that’s both natural and passionately formulated.
With the Stella supplement, we hope to inspire black women everywhere to pursue wellness with confidence, knowing they are supported through every phase of life. Whether it’s managing the frustrating symptoms of hormonal imbalances, enhancing energy, or supporting overall reproductive health, Stella provides the nourishment Black women need to thrive.
