From the Theobroma cacao tree, raw cacao nibs bring forth potent mood-enhancing compounds like flavonoids and phenylethylamine (PEA). Flavonoids, rich in antioxidant properties, significantly contribute to overall wellness, enhancing mood improvement and cognitive function. On the other hand, phenylethylamine (PEA), often termed the 'love compound', elevates mood naturally and has antidepressant like effects. This compound promotes the release of two mood-regulating hormones intricately linked with happiness, excitement, and love.

The cacao nibs are also a natural source of theobromine, a stimulant providing a gentle, slow-release energy boost. Unlike caffeine, theobromine doesn't cause jitters or a crash, making it ideal for sustained motivation and excitement. Coupled with their inherent mood-stimulating and aphrodisiac-like properties, raw cacao nibs can stimulate sexual arousal. When combined with other botanicals, the diverse bioactivities of cacao become significant contributors and amplifiers to feel-good and passionate experiences.
