Why It Supports Your Menstrual & Luteal Phases
Menstrual: Warm, ready in 5 minutes, and easy on digestion when energy is low. The broth adds minerals and fluid, and the cocoa contributes a little iron.
Luteal: It answers chocolate cravings with protein and magnesium, and with far less sugar than a standard hot chocolate. That matters because carb tolerance is lower in this phase.
