As an RN, I will answer your question in a professional manner. During menstruation, your body experiences a drop in magnesium and serotonin levels. Chocolate is high in magnesium; hence, the craving. In the case of serotonin, a decrease in this chemical will cause fatigue and insomnia. Chocolate also contains tryptophan, a chemical found in turkey, that allows the body to rest and achieve the REM cycle of sleep. In addition, chocolate contains phenylethylamine, theobromine, and anandamide which enhances the mood when depression nearly always seems to accompany menstruation. I find it interesting how the body seeks out specific foods to compensate
for a loss of certain chemicals the body needs to maintain balance, don't you?

It may stimulate the release of endorphins release, especially dark chocolate.
