Cacao is one of the highest antioxidant foods in the world. Its slight bitterness indicates its detoxifying properties, particularly of the liver, and release of emotions. Cacao can also replenish vital minerals such as magnesium, chromium, copper, calcium, manganese, zinc, sulphur and phosphorous. Cacao contains norepinephrine (the joy molecule), serotonin, dopamine, anandamide (the bliss molecule), theobromine (a cardiac stimulator that relaxes your blood vessels and produces a 30-40% higher blood circulation allowing higher absorption of all the superfoods that cacao contains) and much much more.

Mama Cacao is a deeply heart-opening plant medicine and plant spirit that gently enables you to release disempowering feelings and emotions, trauma and anything else that doesn't serve you anymore. Drinking this centuries-old sacred beverage also empowers you to reconnect to your deepest purpose and pave a way to increased self-love, trust, connection, intuition, gratitude and the beauty of life.

Health Benefits

In either form, there are nutritional agents that both products carry however cacao is much higher in antioxidants and is a great source of fibre. Cacao also offers a good level of protein. While there are nutritional benefits of the cocao products, it is best to reach for cacao if looking for a nutritional boost.

Severe Health Problems

Cacao cannot cure or treat severe health problems, but some of the nutrients in the raw form are beneficial to the body. In its raw form, the plant has a lot of magnesium. A person should get a good amount of magnesium to have less of a risk of diabetes, help maintain a healthy blood pressure, have stronger bones, have a lessened risk of having cardiovascular problems, and maintain nervous system activity that is healthy.

There are so many health problems that can be deterred, with the help of other factors, by having enough magnesium in the body. While it will not reverse the effects of other health factors cacao can help provide the body with more magnesium.

Inflammation and Heart Problems

There is a class of antioxidants that are called flavonoids. These antioxidants help to reduce inflammation throughout the body. The presence of flavonoids in the body has shown to help maintain levels of the “good” HDL cholesterol which can aid in better cardiovascular health. Both cacao and cocoa have flavonoids that can help in these areas.
