Ever heard of Ceremonial Cacao before? Cacao ceremonies have been popping up a lot more recently and I will admit, they are a lot of fun. Not just for the atmosphere, but also for the amazing properties cacao has. The difference between ceremonial grade cacao and regular cacao is that ceremonial grade cacao is 100% pure cacao bean paste. This means it contains a much higher level of the active compounds found in cacao.
Ceremonial grade cacao is also made from high quality Criollo cacao beans. Cacao trees come in two species; Criollo and Forastero. The Criollo species is a wild strain and contains much higher levels of the health restoring compounds that produce consciousness altering and body warming sensations. Another amazing benefit of ceremonial grade cacao is its production process. It has to be made in a very specific way, where it is minimally processed, ensuring the active compounds within the cacao are not processed out.
The reason Stress Less contains ceremonial grade cacao is for the amazing mood elevation properties. Ceremonial Cacao will increase your blood flow and elevate your mood.
It contains theobromine, serotonin, proanthocyanin, anadamine, methylxanthines, tryptophan, phenlethylamine and many other active compounds, that not only stimulate your cardiac system but also produce a warm sensation throughout the body. Theobromine is similar to caffeine, except about 25% as strong, meaning it affects the body softer and longer than caffeine would. It also relaxes blood vessels, producing up to a 40% higher blood circulation. This also improves the absorption of other nutrients, improving the effects of the adaptogens in this mixture.
