The Code Red Story

What if chocolate could actually help you on your period? That’s the idea that turned a student project into Canada’s first functional chocolate for menstrual pain: Code Red.

Hi, I’m Jess — a Master’s graduate in Human Health and Nutritional Sciences who’s lived with menstrual pain for years.

For most of my life, I thought the only option was to push through the cramps and wait it out. But during my studies, I discovered how bioactive ingredients can support our bodies in incredible ways — and I saw an opportunity to make a real difference.

Combining my background in nutrition and food product development with my love of dark chocolate, I created Code Red, a delicious, science-backed chocolate for menstrual pain. Made with magnesium, vitamin D, and calcium, each square contributes to normal muscle function while giving you a moment of indulgence.

At BioSnactive Foods, we’re on a mission to transform the menstrual experience, proving that science, sustainability, and self-care can all live in one sweet bite.

Menstruation can be difficult, but period pain doesn’t have to be anymore with Code Red. Period!
