Mayan Moon — Cacao Blend

Mayan Moon is a rich, velvety hot chocolate reimagined for nighttime recovery. Deep, smooth, lightly spiced — it transforms your evening protein into a grounding, indulgent ritual without the sugar, caffeine, or stimulants of traditional cocoa.

Crafted with organic natural cacao, Dutch-processed cocoa, cinnamon, vanilla, sea salt, and a measured pinch of cayenne, the flavor is dark and resonant — familiar like a quality hot cocoa, but designed for the end of the day. The cayenne is a whisper, not a punch — just enough to warm the cup and round out the chocolate.

Cacao has been used as a ceremonial drink in Mesoamerica for over three thousand years — long before sugar joined the recipe. Mayan Moon brings cacao back to its original purpose: a slow, ritualized cup taken at the end of the day, paired with the actual functional ingredients sleep needs.

Combined with 20g of slow-digesting micellar casein, glycine, magnesium bisglycinate, L-theanine, and apigenin, Mayan Moon helps your body relax, recover, and rebuild while you sleep.

Deep, rich, grounding — like a ceremonial hot chocolate made for the quiet moments of the evening.

The Science: Designed to work overnight

6–8hr: Slow-release amino acid delivery from micellar casein — the slowest-digesting protein available, matched to your sleep cycle.

40%: More muscle protein synthesis during sleep with pre-bed casein vs no nighttime protein. (Res et al., Maastricht University)

200mg: L-theanine per serving for calm focus and improved sleep quality — without grogginess the next morning.

50mg: Apigenin — the flavonoid in chamomile that supports GABA pathways for deeper rest. (A cup of chamomile tea has 0.4mg.)

Cacao Blend · Inside This Scoop

Every ingredient earns its place. Six active ingredients chosen for one job: help your body recover overnight — without melatonin or stimulants.

Micellar Casein

20g of slow-digesting protein for 6–8 hours of overnight muscle support.

Magnesium

Bisglycinate + taurate — two highly bioavailable forms shown to support deep sleep, parasympathetic nervous system activation, and muscle recovery.

Glycine

500mg — the dose used in published sleep research. Lowers core body temperature 0.3°C to help you fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer.

L-Theanine

200mg for calm focus and improved sleep quality — same molecule as the focus compound in matcha, different context.

Apigenin

50mg — the actual sleep compound in chamomile. Studies use 50mg. We use 50mg.

Mayan Cacao Blend

Organic natural cacao and Dutch-processed cocoa for chocolate depth, cinnamon for warmth, vanilla for roundness, sea salt to sharpen the chocolate, and a measured pinch of cayenne — the traditional Mesoamerican finish that warms the cup without the heat.

Why "Standard Protein" Fails Overnight

Most protein powders are designed for the wrong time of day. Whey digests in 90 minutes — useful post-workout, useless during the 8-hour fast that is sleep. And most "sleep" supplements are just melatonin in a bag, with nothing for the body's actual rebuild work.

Moon Milk is the first protein engineered for overnight recovery: slow-digesting casein paired with the four-ingredient Sleep Stack — glycine, magnesium, L-theanine, apigenin — at doses backed by published sleep research. No melatonin. No proprietary blend. Every milligram disclosed.

Muscle isn't built in the gym. It's built while you sleep.
