Raw Honey: Cacao + Maca + Royal Jelly

Cacao, Maca and Royal Jelly Raw Honey  is a blend of Ecuadorian Nacional Cacao, Peruvian Maca and Royal Jelly from wild hives found in the Altai mountains. The honey base is Altai buckwheat, which is known for its high antioxidant value and abundance of polyphenols.

Ecuadorian Nacional Cacao is amongst the very best grade of raw cacao anywhere in the world. Benefits of cacao include:

• Elevates mood by interacting with neurotransmitter systems that are associated with feelings of wellbeing and happiness.
• Exerts positive effects on the vascular system & cerebral blood flow.
• Antioxidant – ORAC score of approximately 13,000 per 100g.
• Rich in flavonoids - “Epicatechin, the main flavonoid present in cocoa and chocolate improves various aspects of cognition in animals and humans”.
• Contains Anandamide (endocannabinoid, known as “the bliss chemical”).
• Cacao also contains enzyme inhibitors, which inhibit the breakdown of anandamide in the body, thus increasing its uptake and contributing to sensations of ‘bliss’ associated with raw Cacao.
• Contains the stimulating aphrodisiac theobrimine, mood boosting serotonin and tryptophan, a huge amount of phenylethylamine (PEA-aka the ‘love chemical’, due to its ability to increase dopamine).
• Potent food sources of magnesium.
• Contains chemicals called MAO-inhibitors that prevent the removal of the neurotransmitters it also contains, whilst in the body’s digestive tract. This allows more of them to reach the bloodstream, where they also stay for longer without being broken down.
