Since our Silicon Gorge competition wrapped up last month, we’ve been spotlighting some of the incredible startups that made it to the semi-finals and investor showcase.
We’ve explored their founder journeys, dug into the problems they’re solving and highlighted the next steps for this year’s cohort. We have been shining a light on the brilliant founders driving innovation across the South West.
Next up we’re featuring: Dr Jenny Cooper, CEO and Co-Founder at FerryX
3. What makes your solution unique?
What sets our solution, Ferrocalm, apart is its unique ability to stay active during gut inflammation – something most probiotics can’t do. Backed by scientific research, it’s formulated to survive the journey through the stomach and small intestine, only breaking down in the large intestine — exactly where it’s needed.
Our customers tell us the difference is life-changing. We’ve seen hundreds of glowing reviews from people who’ve tried “everything else” and finally found what works:
“I have tried numerous gut health supplements over recent years for my diverticular and IBS issues and nothing has worked until I stumbled across this website. I am truly amazed at the transformation. I’ve not had one flare up since I started taking Ferrocalm . I couldn’t recommend taking it highly enough.” – Penny
“I had been experiencing some bloating, acid reflux and stomach pain and I tried some over the counter remedies at my local pharmacy that did not suffice. I decided to try Ferrocalm for the 4 week initial trial and now my symptoms are completely under control. Extremely satisfied with the product. Great value for money.” – Kerran
4. What are you most proud of so far?
We have launched a product which is having a life-changing impact on people. In our trials, 76% of people noticed an improvement to their IBS symptoms within just 8 weeks. Ferrocalm is improving quality of life for our consumers, allowing them to eat foods that were previously off-limits and go about their daily lives without fear of symptoms disturbing plans. Before taking Ferrocalm, 82% of our consumers rated their quality of life in relation to GI symptoms as poor or very poor; after 8 weeks of Ferrocalm, 65% of our consumers said their quality of life was good or very good. Improving quality of life for hundreds of people already is something that we’re incredibly proud of.
