Benefits of Dark Chocolate


Benefits of Dark chocolate:

The benefits come from the cocoa leaves which contain numerous constituents like:

1) Amino acids: phenylalanine, tryosine, and tryptophan. (Antidepressant effects)

2) Biogenic amines: Neurotransmitter related compounds such as synephrine, tyramine, octopamine, and phenylethylamine. (Conventional receptors effects)

3) Methylxanthines: caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. (Stimulant effects)

4) Minerals: magnesium <high> , copper, calcium, and potassium. (Cardiovascular and functionality effects)

5) Phytonutrients: sterols <low>, fiber <removed when processed>, and flavanoids. (Anti-carcinogenic & cardiovascular effects)

Since dark chocolate, unfortunately, is packed with sugars & fats, you can enjoy its benefits by purchasing a Chocamine supplement, which is basically a brand of cocoa extract found as an ingredient in many consumer health products.

Do not use this post as an excuse to cram chocolate down your throats. Even though dark chocolates nutritional facts aren't the best, in moderation they are still a great source of fuel for your body. Choosing the right kind of dark chocolate is crucial and consuming it in moderate amounts is even more important. Always go for 80%+ brands.

Lesson learned: The combination of the many ingredients found in Chocamine will offer many subtleties and make for a quite unique supplement. If you have cardiovascular or anxiety issues, then you should avoid this supplement because of the stimulating effects.

Is dark chocolate healthy? Yes, in moderation. Recommended doses: ~1gram x3 daily.
