Cocoa Calm

We’re excited to offer a NEW type of “super food” with our Cocoa Calm.  We combine all-natural, non-alkalized, antioxidant-rich cocoa powder with three key adaptogens (ashwagandha root, rhodiola root, and eleuthero root).

These adaptogens help you deal with the daily stresses of life (there’s no Western medicine/allopathic equivalent to adaptogens, but they are very important to promote overall health!).  Ashwagandha root is anti-inflammatory and great for stress reduction and adrenal support.  Rhodiola is excellent for brain health, adrenal support, and heart health.  Eleuthero is great for immune support and stress reduction.

Cocoa is also a natural prebiotic, helping to feed those good bacteria in your gut and promoting overall gut health!  It also balances blood sugar levels.  Cocoa Calm helps to promote total body wellness in a delicious, fun way.

Cacao is considered a “super fruit” because of its extremely high antioxidant, polyphenol, and flavanol content.  These constituents are responsible for cacao’s many health benefits!

We’ve specifically chosen “natural” cocoa, not alkalized, because it has 3x as many antioxidants.  It’s been shown to reduce inflammation, balance blood sugar, improve heart health, lower blood pressure, and improve immune function. Cocoa powder is also a prebiotic, and promotes gut health! It may also protect and improve brain health, and reduce allergic reactions.  Some of these benefits are canceled out when eating chocolate in the form of candy, due to the high sugar content – but this powder, without added sugar, preserves them all!

Ashwagandha is a super food in its own right!  It has been shown to reduce anxiety, lower inflammation, and improve resistance to stress.  It’s also great for men’s health, improving testosterone levels and increasing strength and muscle mass.

Rhodiola is known for its ability to protect against stress, promote heart health, fight aging, lower inflammation, and may even protect against cancer!  It also protects brain health, and aids in learning and memory.

Eleuthero has a long history of use as an adaptogen, especially for athletes.  It helps reduce stress and improve recovery time, as well as supporting the immune system. It’s beneficial to help with temporary sleep deprivation as well.

FAQ

Q: Why is this bitter?  It doesn’t taste like hot chocolate!
A: We don’t add any sugar to this product, so it will be bitter.  Feel free to add raw honey, maple syrup, or date sugar (or your preferred sweetener) to your recipe when using this product.

Q: How do I use this?

A: Many people mix it into milk, a smoothie, or their morning coffee.  You can also bake with it in place of regular cocoa powder.  Try our Calming Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups!

Q: Should I use this in the morning or at night?

A: It’s up to you!  Some people use it in the morning for a calm start to their day.  Others use it in the evening to calm down before sleep.

Q: It’s not dissolving well — what’s wrong?

A: The added herbs are whole powdered roots, so they won’t dissolve.  We recommend mixing it into a thicker drink or baking with it.  Consider using a frother to blend well in a drink.
