Our Organic Cacao powder has a rich chocolate flavour, and is packed with antioxidants and vital minerals.
Ancient cultures used cacao as a ‘carrier’ for medicine as it has the unique ability to better transport nutrients into the body for enhanced nutrient absorption.
That’s why we always recommend combining cacao with potent medicinal plants or other superfoods, to access this beautiful synergy.
Chocolate is one of the highest antioxidant foods known, a rich source of magnesium and mood-enhancing brain chemicals, including PEA (phenylethylamine), anandamide, serotonin and dopamine.
The benefits of cacao are said to be:
Heart Support – contains high levels of magnesium to keep your heart healthy

Slows Ageing – super rich in antioxidant, anti-ageing flavanols
Mental Clarity – PEA (phenylethylamine) improves cognitive function
