Cacao

In this video you'll discover the nootropic benefits of Cacao or dark chocolate. Including why we use Cacao as a nootropic, recommended dosage, side effects and clinical research.

Cacao comes from the bean of the Theobroma cacao tree (Cocao tree) native to Central and South America. Cocao powder is at the base of all things made of chocolate.

Cacao as a nootropic offers a hosts of cognitive benefits. It stimulates the release of phenylethylamine (PEA) which boosts focus and awareness. And anandamide (the bliss molecule) which increases happiness levels.

Cacao is a source of tryptophan which is the precursor to serotonin. And theobromine which boosts blood flow, is a stimulant, and may account for chocolate’s aphrodisiac qualities.

Studies show that consumption of a flavanol-rich cocao drink increases blood flow for up to 2 hours in certain regions of the brain. Improving cognition, memory, and preventing neurodegeneration.

And cacao contains more antioxidants than other “superfoods” including acai, blueberries, tea, and pomegranate. Reducing free radicals that would normally cause oxidative damage in your brain and body.

But cacao and chocolate are NOT the same thing. How cacao is processed makes all the difference in retaining its nootropic benefits.

Cocao nibs and cocao powder are the purest and contain the highest levels of flavanols. But pure cocao tends to be bitter. So look for capsules if you can’t stand the taste of dark chocolate or cocao.

Milk negates the advantage of eating chocolate because it interferes with the absorption of the antioxidants in chocolate. This includes no health benefit from eating milk chocolate.

Recommended dose of Cacao flavanols for cognitive benefit is 500 – 1,000 mg per day.
