Our Story: Back to Roots, Forward with Purpose

 

At The Hormone Essentials, we believe everyday food can be your first step toward hormonal harmony.
Our journey began with a simple realization — that changing lifestyles, stress, and modern eating habits have disrupted the natural rhythm of our bodies. Instead of chasing quick fixes or artificial supplements, we decided to go back to what truly works — real, wholesome foods.

We craft functional snack bars made from clean, seed-based ingredients that support specific hormonal functions — designed for real people, real lives, and real routines. Our first innovation, Flo Bites, is World’s first period-positive snack created to support daily hormonal balance through simple, tasty, everyday nutrition.

Flo Bites — a period-positive daily snack

 

Modern life stresses your cycle. Flo Bites is World’s first period-positive daily snack bar, crafted with real dates, seeds, and natural fibres to bring balance to your everyday routine.
Made with 100 % vegetarian ingredients, it’s your clean, tasty, on-the-go companion for steady energy and mindful snacking — all month long. 


 

🍃 Why Flo Bites Works for Everyday Balance

Modern life and changing lifestyles can throw your natural rhythm off balance. Flo Bites brings together time-tested Indian pantry staples — dates, pumpkin & flax seeds, sesame, sunflower, black raisins, Ragi, cacao, brown rice syrup and jaggery syrup — in the right combination to support a steady routine, fullness, and satiety.
