St Lucian Cocoa Sticks (Ceremonial Cacao)
Cocoa contains Flavanols which improve Nitric Oxide levels, enhancing Blood Vessel function and reducing Blood Pressure. Boosts Brain Function: Polyphenols in Cocoa increase Blood flow to the Brain, reduces LDL, improving Brain function and reducing the risk of Neurodegenerative diseases, heart attacks and strokes.
The nitric oxide helps relax your arteries and blood vessels, which helps your blood flow better. Cacao also has been shown to lower your LDL, or "bad," cholesterol and reduce inflammation, both of which may lower your chances of having a heart attack or stroke.
