Code Red is a new, delicious dark chocolate product containing bioactive ingredients, targeted to individuals experiencing menstrual pain! Code Red simultaneously provides the pleasure of eating indulgent dark chocolate, along with addressing muscle function as a form of self-care. The pre-portioned chocolate squares use 3 evidence-based bioactive ingredients without any artificial flavours, preservatives, and additives.
Research shows that menstrual pain is higher in those with low calcium and vitamin D levels, where Code Red includes these bioactive ingredients as a step towards improving nutrient deficiencies. The dark chocolate is an excellent source of magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function. Plus, Code Red is Fairtrade certified and has compostable packaging to reduce its environmental impact. Menstruation can be difficult, but period pain doesn’t have to be anymore with Code Red! Period.
Each package is handcrafted in small batches using quality bioactive ingredients and Fairtrade chocolate at a health-inspected commercial kitchen. Code Red was developed by Jessica Ulbikas, a recent University of Guelph graduate in the Human Health and Nutritional Sciences masters program. She used her nutritional science knowledge and food product development expertise to found the new startup BioSnactive Foods Inc., which focuses on making nutritious treats that do good for you and the planet.
