Sold only at trylevena.com. If you see Levena on Amazon, it isn't ours.
Per 2 capsules (one bottle = 60 capsules = 30 days):
Other ingredients: gelatin (capsule), brown rice flour, magnesium stearate. Manufactured in the USA using globally sourced ingredients. Gluten-free, lactose-free, non-GMO. Contains bovine ingredients: not vegetarian.
Many women tell us they notice it the same evening, on the first rich dinner. For others it takes about two weeks. Run the Greasy-Meal Test on the same meal before and after, give it 30 days, and judge it on your own plate. You have 90.
Do not take Levena if you have known gallstones or a blocked bile duct, unless your doctor agrees. Not for pregnancy or breastfeeding. Contains artichoke and Sphaeranthus (daisy family): avoid if you are allergic to daisies, ragweed or artichoke. If you take a bile-acid binder, take Levena at least 1 hour before it or 4-6 hours after it, and ask your doctor. Loose, urgent stools most days? Take the quiz first. See a doctor, not a supplement, for unexplained weight loss, blood in your stool, fever, yellow skin or eyes, or pain that lasts for hours.

You cook the meal. You sit down with everyone. Four bites in, it starts.
By the time the plates are cleared, you feel stuffed and heavy, like you're six months pregnant at 52 after a roast chicken dinner. You're on the couch by eight. Breakfast was fine. Lunch was fine. It's the rich meal that does it, every time.
Your doctor ran the tests. Normal. "It's your hormones." "It's IBS." "It's your age." So you did what smart women do. You tried things.
One month of the drawer: $113.68. Sunday lunch still sat like a rock.
So it isn't your willpower, and it isn't only your hormones. Your hormones are part of the story, just not the part that happens in the hour after a rich meal. That part has a name, and no scan looks for it. Your own dinner can show you.
Before you believe us, believe your own dinner. Two plates, one difference: the fat.
Plate 1: a green salad with a squeeze of lemon. Plate 2: the same salad, smothered in creamy dressing.
Plate 1: skinless chicken breast and rice. Plate 2: the same chicken with the crispy skin and gravy.
Score the heaviness at 30, 60 and 120 minutes. 0 = light, 5 = a rock.
30 min ☐ · 60 min ☐ · 120 min ☐
If plate 2 sits and plate 1 doesn't, your heaviness follows the fat. That isn't your bacteria, and it isn't only your hormones. Fat has its own step in digestion, and it's the step nobody checked.
If both plates sit, it may not be the fat at all. Our quiz will say so, and so will we.

Here is what happens in the hour after a rich meal.
Fat reaches the bottom of your stomach and pulls a brake. Your stomach relaxes, holds the meal, and waits.
It's waiting for bile, the golden liquid your liver makes and your gallbladder saves for meals. Bile breaks fat into tiny droplets, so your enzymes have something to work on. Enzymes can't do much with one big blob of fat. That's the partner your enzymes were missing.
When bile is slow to arrive, the meal sits. That's the rock. That's the couch by eight. Scans don't measure it, because they look for disease, not for timing.
Slow bile is one reason heavy meals sit. Not the only one. But it's the one your probiotic, your milk thistle and your FODMAP list never touched.
Levena brings bile salts, artichoke leaf and enzymes to the table with your first bites, so the meal isn't kept waiting.
Honest size: a capsule is a top-up, not a new gallbladder. Your liver makes grams of bile every day. Levena adds a little at the moment it matters, and artichoke leaf helps your liver release its own.*
Rich meals slow your stomach down on purpose. In a lab study, fat reaching the gut made the stomach relax and hold more, and volunteers felt full and uncomfortable sooner.¹ That's the heavy feeling.
Try it in your kitchen. Oil and water in a glass stay apart. Add a pinch of bile salts, shake, and the oil breaks into a cloud of tiny droplets. That's the job your dinner is waiting for.
Bile salts · 62.5 mg per capsule. Ox bile at 40 % cholic acid. Breaks fat into tiny droplets so enzymes can reach it.*
Artichoke leaf · 500 mg per serving. Studied for bile flow: in a small crossover study, artichoke extract raised bile output by 127 % at 30 minutes.²*
Digestive enzymes · 50 mg. DigeZyme®, five enzymes with lipase, to work on the droplets bile makes.*
The timing · your first bites. Your body starts moving bile at the first taste of a rich meal.³ The capsule goes in at that moment, not an hour before and not after the plates are cleared.
Artichoke leaf extract. 244 adults with fullness after meals, 6 weeks, placebo-controlled: more relief than placebo.⁴
Artichoke and bile. 20 people, crossover: bile secretion up 127 % at 30 minutes and 151 % at 60.²
DigeZyme® enzymes. 40 adults with indigestion, 60 days, placebo-controlled: better indigestion scores than placebo.⁵

The maker lists the 300 mg blend as proprietary, so its split isn't on the label: we've asked for it and will print it here.
What's not inside: no milk thistle (a different job: liver cells, not meals) · no TUDCA · no 1,000 mg megadose · no senna or cascara · no stimulants.
Straight answers: the bile is bovine, from cattle, and food-grade. Ox bile extract is listed as safe in US food law. The capsule is gelatin. So Levena is not vegetarian, vegan, kosher or halal. A BSE-free statement is on file. We'd rather you know before you buy.
No new diet, no timer, no shaker bottle. Just the meals you already eat.
Never on an empty stomach. Bile with no meal to work on is how people end up with heartburn or a dash to the bathroom.

Take your vitamins A, D, E and K (and fish oil) with the same meal. Bile is how your body absorbs them from food.

Most people do fine without a gallbladder. This is for the ones who don't. And only one of the two types should take bile.
The rock. Rich food sits for hours: heavy, full, bloated, often with slow or greasy stools. Your gallbladder used to drop bile on the meal. Now bile drips all day and is missing when the fat arrives. This is the type Levena is made for: bile timed to your first bites.
The runs. You're in the bathroom within the hour of eating, or first thing in the morning, most days. That's often too much bile reaching the colon, not too little. More bile is the last thing you need. So we'll tell you not to buy, and give you the questions to ask your doctor.
Had yours out 20 years ago and you're fine? Good. Most people are. This is for the steak you've been skipping since.

I'm the one who cooks. For years I'd eat half a plate and go lie down. Scans normal, "it's hormones." I take one with the first bites now and I'm at the table till everyone leaves.

Gallbladder out in 2017. A 1,000 mg ox bile bottle sent me running. With Levena I took one with dinner for four days, then two. Ribeye on Saturday, fine on Sunday.

My daughter's wedding: a three-course dinner, then the dance floor. Two years ago I'd have been sitting by the cake table wishing I'd skipped the sauce.

FAQ
Fair question; most of them are. Here's the difference you can check: Levena isn't aimed at your bacteria or your liver. It's aimed at one step, the hour after a rich meal when your stomach waits for bile, and you take it at that moment, with food. Every dose is printed on this page, and our quiz tells about 1 in 3 people not to buy. Then judge it on your own dinner with the Greasy-Meal Test: if it doesn't sit lighter, the Clean-Plate Guarantee refunds you.
Per 2 capsules: artichoke leaf extract 500 mg, ox bile 125 mg (62.5 mg per capsule, 40 % cholic acid), DigeZyme® enzymes 50 mg, slippery elm 40 mg, and a 300 mg herbal blend of Terminalia chebula and Sphaeranthus indicus. The trials on artichoke used a higher dose of one specific extract, so we don't sell Levena as a megadose: it's a top-up of bile and artichoke timed to the meal, and the guarantee is how we stand behind it. We've asked our maker for the blend's split and will print it the day we have it.
Usually it's one of three things: too much at once (many bottles are 500-1,000 mg), taken on an empty stomach, or taken by someone whose gut already gets too much bile. Levena is 62.5 mg per capsule, you start with one at the first bites of your biggest meal, and the quiz screens out the "too much bile" type first. If you get loose stools within 48 hours of starting, stop and take the quiz again. And if it still isn't right, you're covered for 90 days.
For some people, yes, and we'll say so. There are two kinds of no-gallbladder gut. If rich food sits for hours, bile is missing when the meal arrives, and a small dose with the first bites is what many people use. If you run to the bathroom within the hour or first thing in the morning, you may already have too much bile, and Levena isn't for you. The 30-second quiz sorts which one you are before you spend a cent.
If it works for you, keep it. Most of those bottles are 500-1,000 mg at once, sold to everyone without a gallbladder, with no word on who shouldn't take them or how to start. Levena is 62.5 mg per capsule with artichoke leaf and enzymes, a quiz that turns the "too much bile" type away, a dose card by meal, and a 90-day refund with nothing to send back. And it's sold only at trylevena.com.
Artichoke helps your liver release bile, which is why it's in Levena, and also why it isn't for everyone. Don't take it with known gallstones or a blocked bile duct unless your doctor agrees, during pregnancy or breastfeeding, or with an allergy to daisies, ragweed or artichoke. Those warnings are printed on the bottle and on this page, and the quiz stops at them first. If none of them apply, start low with food, as the Dose Card shows.
No. Every order is a one-time purchase: no subscription, nothing to cancel, no surprise charge next month. You reorder when you want to, or never. Many women keep it for the rich meals only, and you can stop whenever you like.
No. That's the point. Levena is for the meals you won't give up: Sunday lunch, restaurant nights, the holiday table. The 10-minute walk after dinner helps too, and the Rich-Meal Playbook (free with 3 or 6 bottles) has it with the other habits that do. But nobody should have to live on plain chicken.
Show your doctor. That's what the Doctor Sheet is for: one page with what you've noticed, three questions to ask, every known dose in Levena and the warnings, reviewed by our dietitian. If you take a bile-acid binder, take Levena at least 1 hour before it or 4-6 hours after. Never stop or replace a prescription for Levena.
No. The bile is bovine (from cattle) and the capsule is gelatin, so Levena isn't vegetarian, vegan, kosher or halal. A BSE-free statement is on file for the bovine bile. We'd rather tell you here than in a review.
Many women tell us they notice it the same evening, on the first rich dinner; for others it takes about two weeks of taking it with the right meals. What changes is how the meal feels: lighter, not stuffed, still on your feet at nine. It isn't a flat-stomach pill, and we don't sell it as one. Give it 30 days, judge it with the Greasy-Meal Test, and remember you have 90.
Don't take our word for it. Eat the same rich meal twice, once without Levena and once with it at the first bites, and score the heaviness at 30, 60 and 120 minutes. The Greasy-Meal Test card and a 14-day meal log come free with every order. 6,200 women have taken it.
It shouldn't at the starting dose, and that's why there is one. Loose stools usually mean too much too fast, an empty stomach, or a "too much bile" gut. Start with one capsule with food for the first 4 days. If loose stools show up within 48 hours, stop and take the quiz.
No, and we won't pretend it does. Heartburn is acid; heavy is fat. Levena is for the heavy feeling after a rich meal. Taken on an empty stomach, bile itself can cause heartburn, which is why it always goes in with the first bites. If heartburn is your main problem, that's a conversation for your doctor.
Ask your doctor first and bring the Doctor Sheet. Rich food can feel heavier on both, and many women take Levena with the meals that sit, but your doctor knows your full picture. Levena doesn't interact with your hormones and isn't a substitute for anything you're prescribed.
No. The Clean-Plate Guarantee: take it with your rich meals for up to 90 days. If they don't sit lighter, email hello@trylevena.com and we refund your first order. Nothing to send back, not even empty bottles, and the gifts are yours to keep.

We rotate houses and everyone cooks heavy. I used to pick at the salad and go home early. Now I eat the dip and stay for the gossip.
My surgeon said "eat normally." Nobody said how. The Dose Card is on my fridge. One capsule for a week, then two. Pork chops are back.
I used to plan my whole day around one dinner out. Took two with the meal on Friday, ordered the risotto, slept fine.
Rich dinners are clearly better. My afternoon bloat after bread didn't change. The quiz had warned me it might not be the fat for everything. Fair.
I ordered the 3 bottles for the holiday plan. Practised on two Sunday roasts first. Hosting 14 this year and for once I'm not worried about the gravy.
