Key Ingredients
Pure Cacao | Theobroma cacao
Traditionally used to tonify and stimulate the nervous system, and regulate healthy mood balance, cacao has boundless benefits for the modern-world. Cacao contains up to 40x more antioxidants than blueberries, a potent dose to help combat the negative effects of stress from toxins in our environment to daily demands. It is the richest plant source of magnesium, a mineral that many of us need to be continually topping up, and boosts the production of neurotransmitters that enhance mood and motivation. Its nutrient, mineral and phytochemical profile is the perfect addition to minimise flatness and fatigue and promote feeling of wellbeing, happiness, and contentment.
Maca Root | Lepihum meyenii
Think promoting strength, resilience, balance, and combating stress and fatigue. Maca is what offers the malty, caramel flavour in this decadent hot cacao. Maca for Women powder combines yellow, red, and black Maca root in the perfect balance to support women's hormonal health; throughout the menstrual cycle, fertility, and menopause! It is safe during pregnancy and breast-feeding and can help restore resilience in women with postpartum energy and mood imbalances. This potent powder helps to promote the mind and body's natural healing processes and balance.
Bone Broth Protein Powder
Gut health goes hand in hand with hormone health. Bone broth helps to heal and seal the gut lining, ensuring you properly digest and absorb the nutrients and minerals necessary for hormone production. Digestive issues of any kind are a form of stress to the body and increased stress hormone production can compromise sex hormone production. Bone Broth is packed full of amino acids, for example glycine and proline, which are not only essential for the production of hormones but also the detoxification required to clear out any excess hormones to maintain healthy balance.
