Ashwagandha, an adaptogenic herb, is best known for its ability to reduce stress. It naturally supports the second half of the menstrual cycle (days 15 - 28), when cortisol (stress hormone) levels are elevated. Numerous studies have shown that ashwagandha may help to lower cortisol levels and therefore can reduce stress as well as anxiety, improve sleep quality, memory, concentration and general well-being.

Cacao butter is a natural fat extracted from cacao beans. It gives Moonchy bars the creamy, smooth and melt-in-the-mouth consistency. Moonchy uses a raw cacao butter that has been cold pressed from the finest Ecuadorian cacao variety - Arriba Nacional. Cacao butter is full of healthy fatty acids, such as oleic acid, palmitic acid & stearic acid. We, women, need a dietary fat to maintain a healthy hormone balance. Without enough fat in the diet, our bodies don't work properly, and all our systems such as endocrine and immune system are affected. Cacao butter is also incredible for a vibrant and healthy-looking skin. The polyphenol antioxidants, phytochemicals and vitamin E contained in cocoa butter have been proven to improve blood flow to the skin, slow skin aging, soothe sensitive skin and to protect it from free-radical damage. 

In place of milk powder, Moonchy uses tiger nuts which give the bars a sweet nutty flavour. Despite their name, tiger nuts aren’t actually nuts but tubers (like e.g. potatoes). They’re rich in a variety of nutrients, including magnesium, potassium, iron and antioxidants. They are also loaded with insoluble fibre, resistant starch and amino acid arginine which promote a healthy digestion, help feed the friendly bacteria in the large intestine and contribute to lower blood sugar levels. In some cultures, tiger nuts are also used as a natural aphrodisiac. 

Moonchy sweetens its bars with a pinch of coconut blossom sugar. It gives the bars a caramel flavour with a hint of a fruity aroma. Moonchy uses minimally processed coconut blossom sugar from smallholder cooperatives in Indonesia – it is just dehydrated juice of the blossom of the coconut palm. The minimal processing preserves the nutrients found in the coconut blossom juice (iron, zinc, calcium, potassium, antioxidants). Coconut blossom sugar also has a significantly lower glycemic index than refined sugar because it contains fibre called inulin which helps slow glucose absorption. 

Piedmont hazelnuts are often considered the best hazelnuts in the world. Sourced from the Piedmont region in Northern Italy, these premium hazelnuts have a very rich flavour and a creamy, satisfying consistency. They are a perfect addition to Moonchy bars. Hazelnuts have a great nutritional profile. They are loaded with nutrients, including vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and healthy fats.They are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids (oleic acid), vitamin E, phytosterols and phenolic compounds —which help lower LDL cholesterol levels, reduce fasting blood sugar and insulin levels, decrease inflammation and the risk of certain cancers.
