Disclaimer: Human clinical trials have been completed and reviewed by independent clinicians as well as the above. At present, regulatory authorities mandate that only prescription drugs should make their clinical evidence available to the general public. As we are not regulated as a prescription drug, we do not make our studies available publicly, so we can stay compliant with regulations. If you are a researcher and you'd like to review our data, please contact our customer care team and we'll send you a data pack.

Daye's dedication to pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoid excellence

Pharmaceutical-grade cannabinoids

The lack of regulation in the cannabinoid industry means that poor quality products have become the market standard. At Daye, we’re changing that and only use cannabinoids produced to pharmaceutical-grade standards. This means:

CO2 extraction method ensuring clean, safe and chemical-free period products

CO2 extraction

An extraction method which removes the need for solvents, which in turn ensures the end product is free from chemical residues.

The Daye Gold Standard

We're committed to raising the standards in gynae health products and innovation by investing in research and development.

Daye is ISO certified ISO13485

ISO13485 is the global auditing framework for the quality of medical devices and pharmaceuticals, issued by independent bodies that inspect our clinical data, batch testing, and factory operations.

Daye has the CE mark

The CE mark is the European quality standard for the design, manufacture, and clinical validation of medical devices.

Daye is GMP Certified for good manufacturing practice

GMP confirms that the company’s production and quality standards fall in line with regulations for medical devices after an independent audit.

Daye tampons are manufactured in accordance with medical device standards, including ISO13485 and GMP. In order for a diagnosis to be confirmed, test results from the Diagnostic Tampon should be considered by a licensed healthcare provider alongside a patient's symptoms and medical history. Like every other diagnostic test, lab results are not sufficient for a diagnosis. Daye offers customers the option to connect with independent CQC-regulated healthcare providers virtually and in-person for a confirmed diagnosis. All prescriptions and treatments provided through the Daye platform are issued by third-party, independent pharmacists, who are also regulated under CQC and GPhC.
