BENEFITS

RAW ORGANIC CACAO

Energy: Magnesium. 

Cacao is one of the best food sources of magnesium, which helps turn glucose into energy making it essential for a healthy brain, nervous system, and strong muscles and bones. 

Oxygen: Iron. 

Cacao helps build blood and transport oxygen throughout the body. 

Heart Health: Flavonoids. 

Cacao has antioxidant properties and has been linked with heart health benefits such as increasing the formation of good cholesterol (HDL) which helps to lower blood pressure.

Mood: Happiness.

Cacao is also a great source of serotonin, tryptophan, tyrosine, and phenylethylamine. These neurotransmitters are associated with cozy feelings of wellbeing, happiness, and may also help alleviate depression.

ORGANIC MCT POWDER

Instant energy: MCTs effortlessly enter your cells without being broken down and can be used as an immediate source of energy.

Seniors: There has been initial research on the benefits of healthy fats, particularly MCTs, on Alzheimer’s disease. While these studies are still new, there is some evidence that MCTs might help to improve brain and memory problems, including Alzheimer’s, in seniors.

Improved cognitive function: Your brain is made up primarily of fatty acids. Given the role of ketones (in MCT) in providing energy to the brain, MCTs can be very beneficial for cognitive function.

Superior absorption: MCT in powder form absorbs quickly and easily within your body, making it easier to digest than MCT in oil form. MCT powder also dissolves completely in beverages and does not leave an oil slick on top of your drink.
