CACAO IS NOT FOR EVERYONE

IS IT FOR YOU? 

​Like coffee, cacao is not for everyone. Ceremonial grade cacao is served at it highest dosage, and at this concentration, it is not recommended for you if you have a serious heart condition, if you are taking antidepressants, or if you are pregnant.

That said if you read the introductory guide you will learn a little more about the effects of cacao and can decide if it is for you or not. Click here to learn more >

 

It is also not recommended to mix with alcohol or other stimulants.
