FOOD-AS-MEDICINE NUGGET: As well as stopping you from feeling stressed, cacao also actively makes you feel happier! Cacao Powder contains a powerful mix of beneficial natural compounds, including: endorphins, phenylethylamine (a compound humans have been shown to produce when in love), tryptophan and anandamide, all of which have been shown to enhance mood and create feelings of euphoria.
