Feeling the pressure of a busy day? Take a break, de-stress & re-fuel with our Stress-Reducing Chunky Pecan-Mucuna Mash-Up.

Healthy fats, rich chocolate-pecan flavor & the adaptogenic power of Mucuna pruriens ~ all melded together with a base of Colostrum and grass-fed butter.

Mucuna is a widely studied herbal medicine that has been shown to decrease anxiety and stress (and boost libido!).

"All parts of the Mucuna plant possess medicinal properties (Sathiyanarayanan and Arulmozhi, 2007). In vitro and in vivo studies on M. pruriens extracts have revealed the presence of substances that exhibit a wide variety of pharmacological effects, including anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, neuroprotective and anti-oxidant properties, probably due to the presence of L-dopa, a precursor of the neurotransmitter dopamine (Misra and Wagner, 2007)."
