Best Cacao!

I learned of the health benefits of cacao many years ago, but until recently didn’t know how important the quality was. I thought I had it right buying organic on Amazon, but this “ceremonial grade” is on another level! The taste is so much richer and delicious, and I never really felt much from other brands, whereas with Alma Cacao it’s a noticeable energy/mood boost. Cacao used to be just another of my many supplements, but it is now my favorite supplement!

Beyond the Coffee to Cacao (Neuroscientist Honest Review)

Honestly, I was skeptical,

I'm a two-cup coffee person—always have been. Coffee is very science-backed, which, as a scientist, always has my double vote of confidence. So when this product manifested itself in my life, it had a hell of a competition with past patterns and research.

Four months later.

It's replaced my morning coffee.

It's become a slow, naturally caffeinated, delicious start to my day.

I sprinkle a little salt on my tongue before drinking and throw some coconut milk inside.

Knowing what I know about the brain and certain chemicals, the polyphenol profile on cacao is fantastic.
CacaoVER "What about the mold?"... Cacao is known as cacao, and I've stopped many cacao products because they've made me stuffy and mentally slow.

This product hasn't done that, nor has it stopped my progress for morning time fasting.

I highly recommend it.

Pure cacao

When I started taking Alma Cacao I began to feel that my mood and energy were changing, I really felt the change and the taste was that of real cocoa. The presentation it comes in is beautiful. You can say that it is the perfect product. I recommend it 100%

It’s amazing

This is the best cacao
So warm and heart opening and when I say the packaging is perfection… I mean PERFECT

Well done team- excited to order more

SPIRIT OF CACAO

Havard COSMOS Studies

(Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study)

A study published in Neurology suggests that cacao consumption can improve memory and thinking, as well as neurovascular coupling. Neurovascular coupling, which is the change in blood flow in response to brain activity, is crucial in Alzheimer's disease.

Harvard's COSMOS study, published in March 2022 in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, showed that consuming 500 mg of cacao flavanols per day significantly reduced deaths from cardiovascular disease by 27% compared to a placebo.

The study included 21,443 men and women across the U.S., with 12,666 women aged 65 or older and 8,776 men aged 60 or older, followed for 3.6 years.

Cacao has an incredible ability to influence our mental state positively, acting as anatural mood enhancer and anxiety reducer. It boosts levels of specific neuromodulators in the brain and their reuptake inhibitors, extending their positive effects beyond a brief moment.

Regular consumption of cacao can lead to lasting beneficial changes in brain function by reinforcing neural pathways associated with joy, love, presence, and connection. Given the brain's neuroplasticity, these changes can have a long-term impact on dominant neural pathways.

For further details, please refer to the Harvard Gazette article and the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.

THE SUPER COMPOUNDS IN ALMA CACAO

Phenylethylamine (PEA) Called “The Hormone of Love”

Often referred to as the "love hormone" due to its association with mood elevation and feelings of well-being and open-heartedness, phenylethylamine (PEA) is a natural compound found in cacao and chocolate. It acts as a stimulant in the brain, releasing norepinephrine and dopamine, neurotransmitters related to pleasure and motivation.

Phenolic antioxidants - Flavanoids

Alma Cacao has twice the phenolic antioxidants of wine and three times than green tea. This is due toour direct grinding and handcrafted process, which preserves the maximum amount of flavonoids. These powerful antioxidants protect cells, reduce inflammation, and improve heart health.

Arginine ”Natural Aphrodisiac"

”Cacao contains about 1.1 grams of arginine per 100 grams. Arginine is an amino acid that can support cardiovascular health and improve blood flow, which also contributes to its aphrodisiac properties. This combination of mood-enhancing and circulatory benefits makes cacao a popular choice for boosting feelings of love and connection.

Theobromine - Cacao alkaloid

Similar to caffeine but milder. It relaxes muscles, stimulates the heart, and dilates blood vessels, improving blood flow and lowering blood pressure. Key benefits include mood enhancement, cardiovascular support, and improved cognitive function without caffeine's jitters. It also aids respiratory health byrelaxing lung muscles and acts as a diuretic to reduce fluid retention.
