Products

Range

Epycure offers personalized supplementation based on responses to an online questionnaire. The brand also offers chewable gummies designed to meet various needs such as hair, sun care, detox, stress, and sleep. 

It also markets a complex of probiotics and prebiotics, products to boost immunity (vitamin D3, lozenges made with acerola, zinc, and selenium).

Lastly, among the products, there is a slimming powder made with guarana, mate, spirulina, and pumpkin seed proteins. 

Focus on Personalized Regimen

I completed an online questionnaire to receive my personalized diagnosis. I provide my first name, whether or not I usually take dietary supplements, my gender, and my main goals.

I selected :

• “have stronger hair and nails, clearer skin”
• “improve my sports performance”
• “enhance my concentration”

Then I answer a series of questions about my lifestyle, my diet, my intake of fruits, vegetables, and dairy, my exercise routines, my sleep pattern, etc. Finally, I must specify any intolerances, allergies, or dietary restrictions.

Then with one click, I receive my personalized recommendation. It’s a blend of active ingredients including vitamins and trace elements.

My formulation will be contained in two capsules to be taken daily throughout the regimen.

Our Test

Product: ★★★★☆

Personalized Regimen

I tested Epycure’s personalized regimen, the hair gummies, stress gummies, as well as the probiotic & prebiotic complex. 

Upon opening my package, I discovered a lovely backdrop in the brand’s colors. I find the packaging of the probiotic and prebiotic complex very appealing with its recyclable glass jar.

The labels are clear and precise, indicating the list of ingredients, dosage, and storage recommendations.

In terms of smell, the capsules have a neutral odor. I had no difficulty swallowing them. No aftertaste noted. 

The bottles of the personalized regimen (one for home and one for travel) feature my initials.

The advantage of the personalized regimen is that I only have two pills to take per day, unlike the competitor Cuure which requires taking more capsules, for example.

They contain a mix of all the active ingredients recommended for me according to my needs and lifestyle.

Sun Gummies

The gummies are colorful, resembling candies. They are orange-flavored, which is reflected in their smell and taste. They are easy to chew.

I found messages tinted with humor under the gummy sachets that made me smile.

I did a comparative analysis of the composition of these gummies with those of two competitors.

Composition	Epycure	Lashilé Beauty	Les Miraculeux
Copper content *	0.8 mg	0.15 mg	0.5 mg
Beta-carotene content *	7 mg	4.8 mg	1.2 mg

Epycure gummies have more active ingredients (8 in total) than those from Lashilé and Les Miraculeux. Regarding copper and beta-carotene content, they are more concentrated.

Price: ★★★☆☆

The personalized 1-month course costs €29. For a three-month commitment, the treatment costs €27 per month and for a six-month commitment, the monthly cost is €25.

I did a price comparison of the personalized course and solar gummies with those offered by several of Epycure’s competitors.

Personalized Regimen

Rounded price, April. 2021	Epycure	Cuure
1-month personalized course (+ shipping costs)	€33.90	€27

The personalized course is more expensive at Epycure. There is a noted price difference due to shipping fees (free at Cuure from €20).

The formulations and active ingredients offered are not identical between the two brands, which also explains the price difference.

Sun Gummies

Rounded price, April. 2021	Epycure	Lashilé Beauty	Les Miraculeux
Copper content *	0.8 mg	0.15 mg	0.5 mg
Beta-carotene content *	7 mg	4.8 mg	1.2 mg
Price per gummy	€0.42	€0.42	€0.47

* for 2 gummies

The price per solar gummy is the same at Epycure as at Lashilé and more affordable than at Les Miraculeux. Composition-wise, Epycure gummies contain 8 active ingredients versus 6 and 4 respectively at Lashilé and Les Miraculeux.

Delivery is free for purchases over €100, otherwise, the shipping cost is €4.90. Delivery is available in France and Belgium. The delivery time is 2 to 3 working days.

Transparency: ★★★★☆

Epycure does not systematically specify the origin of the ingredients in their dietary supplements. The green tea extract in stress gummies comes from China, for example. The holy basil leaf extract comes from Asia. However, the origin of the spirulina powder in detox gummies is not mentioned.

The brand does not specify its raw material suppliers. Product analysis certificates are not available in the product sheets.

Epycure was founded in 2019 by Angélique d’Esclaibes and Paul-Etienne Jacob. Before Epycure, Angélique launched Amalone which sold men’s swimwear. She studied at ESSEC. Paul-Etienne graduated from ESCP. He is the founder of Massage Chouette, a company massage therapy service. 

Epycure recently raised €2.5 million to accelerate R&D and expand in Europe. Its main investor is Founders Future, a startup studio created by Marc Ménasé.

Expertise: ★★★☆☆

The list of ingredients used in the formulations is clearly presented on the site. Each sheet details what the ingredient is, its benefits, and provides usage advice. Scientific references are sometimes mentioned.

On Epycure’s blog, the wellness gazette, you can find articles about wellness, nutrition, recipes, and expert advice.

They are written by nutritionists, naturopaths, and the brand’s co-founder among others. Some articles are accompanied by scientific references.

Note that the co-founder has recently left the company.

The company collaborates with health experts:

• Hélène Blum, Formula Development Engineer, develops and improves Epycure products.
• Philippe-Hadrien Bouron, Doctor of Pharmacy, is involved in formula composition. 
• Emilie Steinbach, neuroscientist, works on the “feel good” aspect of content to help “epiYcuriens” improve their lifestyle.
• Mélissa Parrain is a naturopath. She creates health-oriented articles for the blog.
• Andréa Denolle is a Nutritional Therapist. She creates and writes content focused on well-being.

Popularity: ★★★☆☆

I performed an analysis with the Semrush tool to determine the website traffic for Epycure. In March 2021, the number of unique visitors was approximately 17,400.

On social media, the company has more than 3,300 followers on Facebook and over 29,000 followers on Instagram.

On the Trustpilot site, there are more than 30 reviews. The average rating is 3.7 / 5. Positive comments highlight product effectiveness, quick customer service responses, packaging quality, and the innovative nature of personalized treatments. 

The reviews collected on the site using the integrated Yotpo solution total 225. The average rating is 4.5 / 5.

Comments notably highlight delivery speed, being made in France, and personalization.

Trust: ★★★★☆

To contact the customer service, one can fill out an online form or call them by phone. The Epycure team commits to responding within 24 hours.

You can also contact Epycure via Facebook. 

I contacted customer service to ask them these questions:

• At what time of the day is it recommended to take the gummies?
• How much glucose syrup and sugar is in your gummies?
• Can people with diabetes take gummies as a supplement?
• What is the recommended duration for the Hair Gummies treatment?
• What is the optimal storage temperature for the Probiotic & Prebiotic Complex?
• Where does the spirulina powder in the detox gummies come from?

Here are the answers I received:

I quickly (in less than 24 hours) received clear and precise answers to my questions. 

The production of supplements takes place in France. The gummies are made in Saumur in the Loire Valley, and the capsules in Moréac, in Morbihan. The powders are manufactured in Francheville near Lyon. 

The gummies, tablets, and some capsules are certified ISO 9001 (quality management), ISO 22000 (food safety), and ISO 22716 (good manufacturing practices for cosmetics).

Some capsules have also obtained certifications from AFNOR (the French Standardization Association) and HACCP (food safety).
