Benefits of Cacao
SUPERFOOD
One of natures most potent superfoods. The high fat content makes it sensual and calms our nervous system as well as its super healing for our hormones
ANTIOXIDANTS
Cacao contains the highest amount of any food – 15x more than blueberries and 20x more than green tea. Antioxidants improve blood flow and protect you from ageing – that’s why cacao is the world’s number one longevity food.
IRON
Cacao is the highest natural source of iron, much more than red meat. Cacao is therefore perfect for a vegan diet which usually lacks in iron. Iron also energises your body, boosts your immune system and helps with concentration.
MAGNESIUM
As one of the highest plant-based sources of magnesium, cacao keeps your heart and brain healthy and gives you clarity and focus.
ZINC
Zinc promotes a healthy nervous and immune system.
PHOSPHORUS
This mineral is perfect for healthy bones and teeth-more than calcium.
COPPER
A mineral required for biological processes such as iron transport, glucose metabolism, infant growth and brain development.
THEOBROMINE
The main active, stimulating compound in cacao.
It's naturally found in cacao and some teas, and it is becoming a popular alternative to caffeine.
Unlike caffeine, theobromine is not a central nervous system stimulant and therefore doesn’t typically make you feel as on edge or jittery. For that same reason, theobromine is non-addictive. The energy from theobromine feels more a “holistic high” by making you feel more focused and uplifted.
Theobromine increases blood flow so there’s more oxygen running to the brain and other parts of the body which is also amazing for our hearth health as well as it acts as an aphrodisiac.
Theobromine naturally lowers blood pressure so that is why people with already low blood pressure should drink moderate doses of cacao.
For everyone else- Cacao. decreases the risk of cardiovascular disease. There's also some evidence theobromine may reduce “bad” cholesterol.
Theobromine and caffeine are similarly constructed types of pharmacologically active chemicals but with noticeably different effects. Theobromine is gentle, mild, has a slow onset, is long lasting and non-addictive whereas caffeine is intense, strong, fast acting, short lived and can be addictive.
Theobromine is an alcaloid – approx. 20% of worlds plants have Alcaloids and it’s a lot of work to extract them. Other examples of more mind altering, psychoactive and not always safe alkaloids are nicotine, caffeine, morphine, cocaine but theobromine is completely safe for most people.
ENERGY

PHENYLETHYLAMINE
The famous love chemical, usually only produced by the brain, gives you the happy-exciting feeling like you hopefully feel when falling in love.
ANANDAMIDE
