Eat
Cacao-rich brownies and oat snacks deliver oral magnesium and slow-release energy.
The science
Food is
the formula.
We make food built around well-studied ingredients that work powerfully to ease menstrual discomfort.
Inside every bite
Six ingredients. One purpose.
Natural anti-inflammatory
Ginger Root
At therapeutic doses, ginger matches the effectiveness of ibuprofen for menstrual cramps, without the side effects.
Curcumin · prostaglandin pathway
Turmeric + Black Pepper
Curcumin inhibits prostaglandin synthesis, the same pathway NSAIDs target, and supports hormonal balance.
Blood sugar + antispasmodic
Cinnamon
Regulates blood sugar spikes that worsen PMS, eases uterine muscle tension and supports healthy blood flow.
Magnesium + mood
Raw Cacao
Rich in magnesium that relaxes uterine muscles and polyphenols that lift serotonin for steadier mood.
Slow energy + zinc
Whole Oats
Stabilises blood sugar and supplies zinc, shown in research to reduce cramp intensity.
Transdermal magnesium
Epsom Salt (Magnesium sulphate)
Soaking in warm water relaxes smooth muscle tissue, stimulates blood flow and rapidly reduces cramp intensity.
The three-pillar ritual
Eat. Sip. Soak.
Each element works independently. Together, they work from three directions at once.
Sip
A cinnamon-ginger-turmeric-black pepper tea, covered and steeped 7–10 min, opens the anti-inflammatory pathway.
Soak
An evening Epsom salt soak relaxes smooth muscle tissue and quietens the nervous system.
