How long does breast milk last in the fridge? 

Breastmilk can be stored for up to 4 days in the fridge. Breastmilk can also be stored for up to 6 months. However, once defrosted any remaining breastmilk will need to be discarded. It is also recommended that all stored milk is correctly labelled and dated before freezing. 

Caffeine in Hot Chocolate? 

It is important to understand caffeine occurs naturally in foods, such as coffee, tea, herbs and cacao related products.
However, according to Food Legislation, the only products that have to have a mandatory statement for caffeine are the ones containing guarana or any other type of caffeine extract. Therefore cacao or chocolate related products do not have any caffeine declaration on the label.
Our products with cacao powder will contain residual levels of caffeine, however they have not been measured. It is the same as any other chocolate product (for example chocolate bars)

Can you take collagen when pregnant?

Naturopaths and studies have shown that it is entirely safe to consume collagen during pregnancy. Collagen works to boost the elasticity of your skin, bones, cartilage and much more, allowing you to feel beautiful from the inside out while carrying your baby.

Cacao - Being rich in a type of polyphenol, cacao has multiple benefits:

Antioxidants - Raw organic cacao has an amazing ORAC score of 98,000 per 100g, vs blueberries at a mere 2,400. ORAC scores measure the ability of antioxidants to absorb free radicals. 
Highest Plant-Based Source of Iron - Cacao is the highest plant-based source of iron known to man, at 7.3mg per 100g. This compares to beef and lamb at 2.5mg, and spinach at 3.6mg. Iron deficiency is common in 6 months to 3-year-olds. 
Source of Magnesium - Raw organic cacao is one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium. Magnesium is important for a healthy heart helping convert glucose into energy and enabling your child's brain to work with laser-sharp clarity and focus.  
Tryptophan to help sleep - Tryptophan is the amino acid helping you get to sleep and stay asleep. Combined with low glycemic index carbohydrates it converts to melatonin in the brain. It takes just one hour for tryptophan to teach the brain and trigger sleep.
More Calcium Than Cow’s Milk- Raw Organic Cacao has more calcium than cow’s milk, at 160 mg per 100g vs only 125 mg per 100 ml of milk. 
A Natural Mood Elevator - Cacao contains– serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylethylamine. These neurotransmitters are associated with feelings of well-being, and happiness, and can even alleviate depression.

Brewers Yeast (From Wheat) - It is high in protein, B vitamins, iron, selenium, zinc and potassium. It contains prebiotics like beta-glucan, for gut and immune health. And compounds called nucleotides which have recently been associated with increased energy and endurance. It contains a Glucose Tolerance Factor that assists blood sugar management. Brewers Yeast may also help increase milk production when you are lactating.

Coconut Sugar - This is a natural sugar from the coconut palm. Coconut Sugar has higher levels of zinc, iron and calcium than granulated sugar. It also has trace amounts of phytonutrients and antioxidants and some Inulin - a prebiotic which feeds healthy bacteria and slows glucose absorption.
