Cacao Powder is the ground up form of the raw cacao bean, one of nature’s greatest sources of anti-oxidants and rich in many minerals, particularly iron and zinc. Cacao is well known for its positive affect on the brain, with it containing precursors to special neurotransmitters which help to increase circulation and availability of so-called ‘mood chemicals’, for example, serotonin. Properties within cacao are also known to stimulate the central nervous system, relax smooth muscles, and dilate blood vessels, giving the body a boost of energy.
