Potential Health Benefits
Elevating Mood and Well-being:
It’s the undeniable delicious taste of our cacao powder packed full of many nutritional benefits (Wickramasuriya et al, 7) that makes it a hit with moms and kids alike. Cacao is known for its potential health benefits throughout the body (Reis De Araujo et al, 8) and as a complex source of minerals, vitamins, and nutrients, but raw cacao also contains Omega fatty acids and phenethylamine, which is commonly known as PEA, or the feel good neurotransmitter responsible for the feeling of love (Borah et al, 9). Therefore, eating raw cacao powder could possibly raise levels of natural serotonin, which may improve mood and help to fight depression (Herraiz, 10), and may help deliver tryptophan (Jenny et al, 11), which is essential to humans. And since the body cannot synthesize it – tryptophan must be obtained through diet.
Cognitive Benefits of Cacao:
Cacao is also full of protein, fiber, and other essential amino acids that may directly benefit mental well-being (Román et al, 12), may help stimulate the cardiovascular system (Davinelli et al, 13) and could improve circulation to the brain (Sokolov et al, 14). Also, daily cacao powder may help in impacting cognitive function (Sumiyoshi et al, 15).
Additionally, Incaliving’s raw organic Cacao offers some of the highest plant sources of iron available by containing about 7mg or 39% of your recommended daily iron intake (Yokoi et al, 16).
Yellow Maca’s Morning Boost: Energy and Alertness
Organic yellow maca offers a variety of benefits. For instance, yellow maca is known to possibly help with maintaining energy levels and alertness in the morning (Gonzalez’s al, 17).
Radiant Defense: Maca’s Shield Against UV Rays
Next, research has also demonstrated that consistent usage may increase the body’s natural ability to fight harmful UV rays (Gonzales-Castañeda et al, 18). Maca also may possibly help with healthier skin (Gonzales-Castañeda et al, 19) to where it is being researched as an additive for cosmetics (Li et al, 20).
Maca’s Role in Emotional Well-being & Hormonal Balance:
Yellow Maca may also be beneficial in helping to improve mood and alleviating stress (Brooks et al, 21). Also, it may potentially act as a natural antidepressant according to studies (Rubio et al, 22) because it may be linked to hormonal balance, especially for women in menopause (Lee, 23) or those woman possibly suffering from female sexual dysfunction (Dording et al, 24). Additionally, woman may benefit from the potential linked to fertility (Ruiz-Luna et al, 25)
Maca’s Impact on Men’s Health
For men, maca may act like an aphrodisiac (Gonzalez et al, 26) and it may help men experience improved sexual desire (Gonzalez et al, 27). Additionally, it may increase the production of sperm (Sanchez-Salazar et al, 28) and may help in the aid against erectile dysfunction (Shin et al, 29).
Glucose Control & Stamina Increase
Another potential benefit of Maca is that it may help control blood glucose levels (Vecera et al, 30). It may be connected to an increase of stamina in athletes like cyclists (Stone et al, 31) and has plenty of protein (Wu et at, 32) and amino acids that may help in muscle building—making it great for before or after workouts.
