Important information

🍫 Cacao is toxic to many animals.

🍫 High levels of cacao can cause palpitations, please use carefully if you have a 
heart condition.

🍫 High levels of cacao can interfere with MAOI’s anti-depressants please start 
with a lower dose to check tolerance.

🍫 Cacao can be used in all stages of pregnancy but we suggest lower amounts 
especially in the final trimester.

🍫 Cacao is not a psychedelic and is perfectly legal to use. It creates a natural 
blissful high due to the release of the “love molecule” on drinking.

🍫 Cacao does not contain the same kind of caffeine as coffee. It stimulates the 
cardiovascular system and boosts circulation. This can cause an uplifting effect
and it may not be advisable to drink late in the evening depending on your
routine. Cacao affects everyone differently.

🍫 We suggest a maximum dosage of 60g in a day otherwise you may experience 
nausea and a laxative effect.

🍫 Best taken on an empty stomach for maximum potency. Please drink plenty of 
water before and after cacao.
