Cacao
Theobroma cacao is a tropical evergreen tree, which produces the cocoa bean in large pods.
Made from roasted cocoa beans, cacao is the purest, most natural form of chocolate
For thousands of years this small bean has been prized for its remarkable health benefits, as well as its delicious yet delicate taste.
Cacao contains natural compounds known to reduce anxiety and lift our moods.
This ingredient includes many antioxidants, helping defend the body against aging.
Coconut sugar
This is derived from the coconut fruit of the coconut palm tree. Botanically known as Cocos nucifera, this tree grows in a variety of regions in the world, particularly in Asia and tropical areas.
This type of natural sugar is extracted from the sap of cut flower buds of the coconut palm.
Nutritionally coconut can be viewed as a super food:
Boosts blood circulation, hence helping with ailments such as Reynauds syndrome
Prevents oxidative stress, polyphenolic compounds and phytonutrients in this sugar act as antioxidants in the body. This will lower the impact of free radicals and prevent oxidative stress, hence reducing the risk of chronic diseases and chronic inflammation.
Regulates blood pressure, the amount of potassium in this sugar may be minimal but it is enough to affect blood pressure.
Potassium acts as a vasodilator in the body, relieving tension in the blood vessels and arteries and preventing strain on the cardiovascular system, including lowering your risk for heart attacks and strokes.
Reduces anxiety
Some studies have found the regular, moderate use of this sugar can aid in hormone and neurotransmitter levels, which will reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety, and can lead to more stable moods.
Mushroom
As with all mushrooms, p.cubensis high in vitamin D, being one of a select few natural sources other than direct sunlight.
Vitamin D is supports the immune system, contributes to the health of our bones and may help protect against cancer.
This mushroom also contains beta-glucan compounds.
Beta-glucan compounds support neuroplasticity by optimising Nerve Growth Factor (NGF), a neurotrophic factor and neuropeptide primarily involved in the regulation of growth, maintenance, proliferation, and survival of certain target neurons.
In practice, the active ingredient enables the rewiring of the brain's nerve cells, to unblock blockages, relieving depression and its associated ailments.
Its proven mental health benefits include the release from addictions and depression.
Under guidance, PTSD and its associated ailments, have been show to be resolved and healed.
Dosage & Protocols
The key is to start low and go slow.
Though the protocols are many and varied, we recommend you do your own research and analyically appraise which amounts and how often works best for you.
The body builds a tolerance to the active ingredients quickly but also drops it quickly: the active ingredients exit our bodies usually within 24 hours.
Hence the two day breaks in many microdosing protocols.
Microdosing
Best taken in the morning with a light breakfast or snack.
Two popular microdosing protocols include:
- 1 day on / 2 days off, reference Dr James Fadiman
- 5 days on (Mon~Fri) / 2 days off (Sat~Sun), Mister Paul Stamet
One bar equals 1 to 3 months supply depending on which dosage and protocol you chose to follow.
Macrodosing
Best eaten on an empty stomach.
Consensus would suggest a macro dose is from 1gm upward.
Having an intent, a question to which you're looking for the answer to, will help focus the journey.
