You might be wondering, why not just eat dark chocolate or take cocoa supplements?

Many have tried regular chocolate or standard cocoa products, only to continue experiencing the same energy crashes and brain fog that affect their daily lives.

This is because research shows that conventional processing destroys up to 95% of cacao's beneficial compounds, resulting in minimal impact on cognitive function and energy levels.

More Flavanols = Better Brain & Body Support
Cocoa flavanols deliver great cognitive benefits, but levels vary dramatically in cocoa.
Actual Superfoods contains up to 25x more flavanols than regular processed cacao.
The cocoa flavanols in Actual Superfoods deliver cognitive support within 2 hours.

FAQ'S

What makes Actual Superfoods different from regular cacao powder?

25% flavanol content (5x more than leading brands) through cold-processing, and enhance it with 4 clinical adaptogens: Lion's Mane, Ashwagandha, Maca, and Ceylon Cinnamon.

What exactly are flavanols and why do they matter?

Flavanols are powerful plant compounds that support heart health, cognitive function, and blood flow. Most cacao loses 80% during processing - we preserve them at therapeutic levels.

Is this the same as regular cocoa powder?

No. Regular cocoa is Dutch-processed (alkalized), destroying flavanols down to 1-5%. Ours is unroasted, cold-processed Peruvian cacao maintaining 25% flavanols.

What are the ingredients?

Organic Peruvian cacao powder (25% flavanols), Lion's Mane extract, Ashwagandha root, Maca root powder, Ceylon cinnamon. No sugar, fillers, or artificial ingredients.

How does it taste?

Rich, premium dark chocolate flavor with subtle earthy notes. Less bitter than 100% dark chocolate, no medicinal taste. The cinnamon adds natural sweetness.

How do I use it

Mix 1-2 tablespoons into hot water/milk for hot chocolate, add to coffee, smoothies, oatmeal, or baking. Blends instantly without clumping.

When should I take it?

Morning for all-day energy and focus, or afternoon to avoid crashes. Benefits peak 2-4 hours after consumption.

Can I bake with it?

Yes, but heat above 140°F reduces flavanol content. Best consumed raw or in warm (not boiling) beverages for maximum benefits.

Are there any side effects?

Generally well-tolerated. Start with 1 tablespoon if sensitive. Contains 35mg natural theobromine (vs 95mg caffeine in coffee). Consult your doctor if pregnant or on medications.

Is it safe to take daily?

Yes. Designed for daily use. Studies show optimal benefits with consistent daily consumption of 500-750mg flavanols.

Is it organic/vegan/allergen-free?

USDA Organic, vegan, non-GMO. Free from: gluten, dairy, soy, nuts. Made in USA in GMP-certified facility. Contains mushroom extract (Lion's Mane).

Why is it more expensive than regular cacao?

Premium single-origin cacao + specialized cold-processing + 4 clinical-grade adaptogens + third-party testing. You're getting 5x the active compounds of regular cacao.

What's your return policy?

30-day money-back guarantee, even on opened products. If you don't feel the difference, get a full refund.
