About FemLab

Women's health, taken seriously.

We built FemLab so South African women could get real, doctor-led care, without the waiting room, the dismissal or the guesswork.

Why we exist

Too many women are told it's just their age.

Broken sleep. Weight that won't shift. Energy, mood and focus that have quietly changed. For most South African women the options were a long wait for a GP, a rushed appointment, or being told this is simply what happens now.

FemLab started to change that: a discreet, doctor-led way to get properly assessed and, where it's appropriate, properly treated, from your phone, delivered to your door.

Our mission is simple: help women feel like themselves again, through safe, personalised, evidence-based care online.

We focus on hormonal and metabolic health, the areas that quietly shape how a woman feels day to day, and we do it the right way, with a real doctor at the centre of every plan.

How FemLab works

A programme, not a script.

Plenty of places will sell you a box and forget your name. That's not us. FemLab is built to be doctor-led, ongoing and completely discreet.

Doctor-led

A real HPCSA-registered doctor reviews every plan and prescribes only where it's clinically appropriate. Never a vending machine for medicine.

Monthly & ongoing

Care that continues, delivered monthly, with check-ins and dose adjustments over time. We stay with you, not just for the first order.

Discreet by default

Private consultations, plain unbranded packaging and data handled under POPIA. Your business stays your business.

The team & what we stand for

A small team that actually cares.

FemLab is led by our Medical Director, Dr Alistair McAlpine, and a lean team of clinical and support staff who specialise in women's hormonal and metabolic health. You're not a number to us, and the doctor reviewing your care is a real, named person.

✓Safety first. Evidence-based care, real doctor oversight, no shortcuts.
✓Honesty. If treatment isn't right for you, we'll tell you, and refund you.
✓Being believed. Your symptoms are the starting point, not something to talk you out of.
✓Discretion. Private, unbranded, POPIA-protected, always.
✓In it for the long run. We measure success by how you feel months from now, not just today's sale.

Ready to feel like yourself again?

Start with a free, no-commitment check. A doctor reviews it, and you only go ahead if it's right for you.

FemLab provides access to independent medical assessment and healthcare support by HPCSA-registered practitioners. Treatment is prescription-only and provided only where clinically appropriate following a doctor's review; not everyone will qualify. All medicines have potential risks, side effects and contraindications. Figures shown are current as at publication.
