KEY BENEFITS | 100% CEREMONIAL CACAO
Ceremonial cacao is packed with essential vitamins and minerals such as magnesium, iron, calcium, and antioxidants. These nutrients support overall health, including bone health, cardiovascular function, and immune support.
Cacao contains compounds like theobromine, anandamide, and phenylethylamine, which can improve mood, promote feelings of well-being, and enhance mental clarity. These compounds stimulate the release of endorphins and serotonin, often referred to as “feel-good” hormones.
