What does "hormone-supportive" mean?
When we say hormone-supportive, we are referring to whole foods that help to replenish certain micronutrients we can lose during the ebb and flow of hormones. Studies have shown that as our hormones ebb and flow during our cycle, certain micronutrients are depleted. The depletion of certain nutrients is what causes many of us pain and discomfort (physically and emotionally) throughout our menstrual cycle. By focusing on certain micronutrients and choosing whole foods that help to replenish those nutrients (think cacao, sweet potatoes, honey and oats), we create products and recipes that both support our bodies and satisfy our taste buds.

Are your products and recipes gluten free, vegan or raw?
All of our products are gluten free, dairy free, soy free + naturally sweetened. Some of our products are vegan. Certain recipes in The Moon Cycle Cookbook include dairy and gluten with flexibility to tailor to all dietary preferences. On every mix in our shop, you'll find the ingredients and labels to alert you to any food categories it falls into. So, whether you’re a menstruator, pregnant, postpartum, identify as male or a child (our toddler loves our treats!) — we’ve got you covered.
-
Are your ingredients organic?
Some of our ingredients are organic while some aren’t, but we always source from high-quality businesses who value integrity in both their process and product.

Can I gift these to my friend? I think they’d make an awesome birthday/new baby/I love you gift!
Yes! Moon Cycle Bakery started with the notion (and act) of how healing giving is and that we all deserved to be acknowledged and seen during a vulnerable and sometimes challenging time of the month. You can order any mixes and non-food mercantile to be shipped directly to your friend’s house with a gift message attached.
