Key Ingredients
Organic cocoa powder
Cocoa beans, the seeds of the cacao fruit, like berries and green tea, are rich in phytochemicals called flavonoids, flavanols in particular. The research suggests flavonoids are quickly metabolized into compounds that boost to our natural antioxidant defenses and help balance inflammation. There is also evidence that supplemental cocoa enhances endothelial function, leading to improved blood flow, promoting good cardiovascular health. Cocoa powder is a more concentrated source of cocoa flavanols compared to other chocolate products, such as dark chocolate, and contains no added sugars.
Organic Chaga and Reishi mushroom blend
Mushrooms have immune-supporting properties. Dr. Fuhrman recommends eating mushrooms daily and using powdered mushroom supplements, with different varieties of mushrooms, to complement a healthful diet.
Organic lucuma
Lucuma is a mildly sweet fruit grown in Peru. It is rich in beta-carotene and other carotenoids.
Organic maca
Maca is a root vegetable from Peru that is part of the cruciferous family, which includes broccoli, kale, turnips, radishes, and bok choy.
