Benefits of the ancient Mayan drink
Islaverde cacao is a treasure trove of valuable nutrients and health-promoting properties:
- provides a large dose of magnesium, necessary for the proper functioning of the nervous and muscular systems (including the heart), as well as potassium, copper, and polyphenols,
- slows down the aging process of the body and the development of diseases,
- elasticizes blood vessels, improving blood flow,
- regulates blood pressure and cholesterol levels,
- prevents atherosclerosis, heart attack, and stroke,
- supports brain function, improves concentration, memory, and thinking abilities,
- stimulates kidney function and cleansing,
- adds energy, improves mood, and alleviates stress.
Note: Ceremonial cacao is hand-poured, without tempering (crystallization of cocoa butter). The appearance of bloom, discoloration, and various surface textures of the cacao is a natural phenomenon and does not affect the taste or aroma of the product.
