About Code Red
What is Code Red?
Code Red is Canada's first chocolate for menstrual pain! The supplemented dark chocolate contributes to normal muscle for those with period pain. It is the flagship product of BioSnactive Foods Inc.
How does Code Red work?
The chocolate has 115 mg of magnesium, which contributes to normal muscle function. Research shows that menstrual pain is higher in those with low calcium and vitamin D levels. Code Red includes these bioactive ingredients to improve nutrient deficiencies. Period!
Will Code Red eliminate my menstrual pain?
No, unfortunately! Code Red contributes to normal muscle function and improves nutrient deficiencies during menstruation. Code Red can be used in combination with other pain-relieving remedies, which includes yoga, exercise, using a heating pad, warm baths, and more.
Is Code Red compostable?
Yes, the package is made from 98% certified home compostable materials. Our pouches are made from bio-based, renewable, and non-GMO plant derivatives, meaning they will naturally decompose with the help of heat, moisture, and microbes, to gently re-enter the earth without leaving harmful toxins behind.
Use
How many squares of Code Red can I eat at a time?
Stick to 2 squares per day!
When should I eat Code Red?
Most people have it on the first day (and each day) of menstruation. Research shows you can also start on the 15th day of your cycle.
I don't have period pain now, can I have Code Red?
You don’t need to have menstrual pain to enjoy and benefit from Code Red! Research shows that magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium have a variety of positive health effects. Anyone 14+ years old, who aren't pregnant or breastfeeding, can have the chocolate.
Can I use Code Red for general pain relief?
Research evidence shows that vitamin D could play a role in managing chronic pain. Magnesium shows some potential for general pain treatment, but additional evidence is needed.
Can I have supplements or medication while using Code Red?
Please don’t take magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium supplements the days you use Code Red.
The product contains these bioactive ingredients, so nutrient-drug interactions are possible. If you are unsure, please ask a healthcare professional!
