alignment with your body’s natural cycle or the moon. a nutritious and delicious addition to any diet with powerful benefits.
Help! What are the Phases of seed cycling?
The Phases of seed cycling simply divide your menstrual cycle into two two-week phases.
Phase One: Day 1 - 14
As your period starts/the 1st day of the lunar month, flax and pumpkin seeds
are used for their generous offerings as phytoestrogens, helping to regulate
estrogen levels, as well as their anti-inflammatory omega-3 fatty acids, and
plant-based protein.
Flax seeds:

The basic principles offer holistic benefit to regulate estrogen levels in Phase One, and
progesterone in Phase Two.
Simply start your seed cycling journey on Day 1 of a new moon, and follow this cycle.
Chocolate really is good for me?
Yes, dark chocolate most certainly is! Discovered by the Mesoamericans and described as the “drink of the gods”, cacao has been used for its medicinal properties and cultural elevation for millennia.
Cacao is the core ingredient in chocolate, and found abundantly in Moon's 70% dark chocolate products, as well as in the Mmmaca hot drinking powder.
A panacea for various ailments
Loved universally for its rich flavour, cacao (the real MVP!) and subsequently
Moon's 70% dark chocolate adds decadence to your wellness routine as:
• It is loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties
• Fights off free radicals

Magnesium helps to

Tryptophan, an amino acid, can

Flavanols, an antioxidant, can

• Reduce the formation of blood clots
• Enhance brain function and cognitive performance - particularly of your
frontal cortex known to aid in planning and structure (for ease in the luteal
phase!)
I have heard of matcha, but what is Maca Root Powder?
Found in the Andes mountains of Peru, maca root, also known as Peruvian ginseng is ground into a powder and has a malty, nutty, and earthy flavour. Used for centuries to help boost energy, lower blood pressure, and improve fertility and libido in men and women.
I love maca for its flavour profile and the benefits that it brings holistically, and use it in our truffles, and Mmmaca hot drinking powder.
