The Testosterone for Life (T4L) Congress is back in Amsterdam, The Netherlands, from 7th – 8th November 2025.

Over two days, experts from around the world will share the latest findings and explore new ways to understand and manage men’s health.

Now in its second year, this event offers a fantastic opportunity for healthcare professionals to explore fresh ideas and continue advancing their medical education.

We’ll be following the conversations and adding our voice to discussions about the future of men’s health. Please note that this congress is for healthcare professionals only.

Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), around 1 in 6 people experience fertility challenges during their lifetime? ¹

As more people start families later in life, it’s important to remember that factors beyond age – such as lifestyle and hormone health in both women and men – can also affect fertility.²,³

World Fertility Day exists to start these conversations early by making sure people feel informed about their reproductive health, whatever their life plans are.

If you are concerned about your fertility, we encourage you to speak to your healthcare provider for further help. What’s one thing you wish you’d known about fertility sooner?

Share your thoughts and be part of the conversation to help raise awareness this World Fertility Day.

Did you know osteoporosis can weaken your bones, without obvious signs, until a fracture happens? ¹,²

Osteoporosis is a condition that weakens bones, making them more likely to break. These fractures can cause pain, physical disability and impaired quality of life.¹

Hormones like oestrogen and testosterone play an important role in keeping bones strong. As their levels change with age, bones can become weaker and the risk of fracture increases.³,⁴

The good news is there are simple ways to help protect your bones – including eating a diet rich in calcium and vitamin D, staying active and having regular bone health checks with your healthcare professional.¹

This World Osteoporosis Day, let’s raise awareness and take steps to keep bones strong for the future.

Did you know that approximately 25 million women go through the menopause transition each year?¹

This World Menopause Day, it’s the perfect time to raise awareness about this transition that can be challenging for many women. Despite its impact, menopause remains one of the least talked about and taught topics – with 90% of women never learning about it at school.²

This lack of knowledge leaves many turning to unreliable sources and can affect how women experience symptoms and seek care.³ Attitudes also differ worldwide, shaping the way the menopause transition is lived and understood.⁴

Menopause happens once, but the transition leading up to it can last years. Support and knowledge matter every step of the way.

So, let’s talk about it. Share this post, start a conversation with someone you care about, or ask your doctor the questions you’ve been putting off.

The more we talk, the more we learn — and the better the support for every woman.

Hot flushes, night sweats and mood changes are often what we associate with the menopause transition.

But as Professor Dr Rossella Nappi points out, this transition can also bring changes that are less talked about – including reduced sexual desire, altered arousal, lower sensitivity and decreased sexual satisfaction.

Many women may not realise these changes are linked to the menopause transition. Sometimes quick fixes like lubricants or moisturisers are tried, without understanding the bigger picture.

That’s why it can be beneficial when healthcare professionals open up these conversations – and why it’s important for women to feel confident asking questions too.
By talking about these symptoms, women can prioritise both quality of life and their relationships. These changes are common but often go unspoken.

Have you noticed them in your own experience – personally or in your practice?

Every year, around 2.3 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer, making it one of the most common cancers globally.¹,²

Thanks to the advancements in treatments over recent years, more women are living for longer after their breast cancer diagnosis.³
But life after treatment isn’t always easy, and many women still face challenges with their bodies, emotions and daily routines.²,⁴

While some women often feel tired, others notice changes in their bodies or find it hard to cope with work, family life or relationships.
These experiences can have a big impact on how someone feels day to day.²,⁴

Being aware of changes in your body early on can help you to take action sooner. That's why regular self-checks matter. Knowing what's normal for your body makes it easier to notice any changes.

This Pink October, make self-checks part of your routine. If you spot anything different, reach out to your healthcare provider - they can guide you from there.

And let’s keep supporting those women who are living with or recovering from breast cancer, because care doesn’t stop when treatment ends.

As the season ends and routines shift, it’s common to feel a little out of sync.

Sometimes, your body’s internal rhythms are also adjusting.

Hormones can play an important part of overall health during times of change, such as perimenopause and menopause.¹

Getting back into a steady routine can help support hormone health,² and if symptoms continue, speaking with a healthcare professional can make all the difference.

This month marks two years since the opening of our Muel factory – an important step in our continued global focus on high standards, progress and patient wellbeing.

In that time, the site has reached several significant milestones and is now entering a new phase of growth.

As we expand our operations, our priorities remain the same: to support the health and wellbeing of patients, uphold the highest standards in everything we do, and minimise our impact on the environment.
