Cacao contains several minerals including calcium, copper, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium and zinc. All of these minerals are found in greater quantities in cocoa than in cacao butter or cacao liquor. Cocoa solids also contain 230 mg of caffeine and 2057 mg of theobromine per 100g.

The cacao effect refers to the bioactive compounds found in cocoa products. These compounds include flavanols, procyanidins and epicatechin. Collectively, these molecules are called Cacao extract . Though these molecules are not unique to cocoa. The compound epicatechin, for example, is also found in prunes. Procyanidin B2 is found in Grape Seed Extract and Pycnogenol. The cacao extract contains a particularly high level of epicatechin, compared to other plant products.

Cacao extract is a bitter mixture with a chocolate taste, made up of xanthine molecules (theobromine and Caffeine ) and procyanidins. Supplementing cacao extract may provide cardiovascular and cognitive benefits through improved blood flow and antioxidant effects.

Supplementation with dark chocolate or cacao extract is worth a look. Unlike conventional high-dose single-antioxidant supplements such as vitamin C, E, etc., the antioxidant activity of flavanols such as epicatechin found in dark chocolate seem to do all that antioxidant supplements were originally promised to do, without negatively affecting endogenous ROS-signaling pathways.

Eating dark chocolate (50 – 85% cocoa), baker’s chocolate, and semisweet chocolate provides a low dose of epicatechin and results in the same effects as cocoa extract This is about 200 calories of chocolate. The more cocoa chocolate contains, by weight, the less is needed to achieve the same epicatechin dose. White and milk chocolate do not contain enough catechins to provide the health benefits associated with dark chocolate.

Studies show that 5-26g of dark chocolate contains 65-1,095mg of flavanols. The standard dose for cocoa flavanols is 500 – 1,000mg a day, taken with meals. Supplementing cocoa extract can be replaced by dark chocolate consumption. Cocoa extract is a safe supplement that promotes circulation and effective energy production. It has great potential long-term benefits.

Name of ingredient : Kardamon 

Latin names:  

Origin:  India

About:

Cardamom (/ˈkɑːrdəməm/), sometimes cardamon or cardamum,^[1] is a spice made from the seeds of several plants in the genera Elettaria and Amomum in the family Zingiberaceae. Both genera are native to the Indian subcontinent and Indonesia. They are recognized by their small seed pods: triangular in cross-section and spindle-shaped, with a thin, papery outer shell and small, black seeds; Elettaria pods are light green and smaller, while Amomum pods are larger and dark brown.

Species used for cardamom are native throughout tropical and subtropical Asia. The first references to cardamom are found in Sumer, and in the Ayurvedic literatures of India.^[2] Nowadays it is also cultivated in Guatemala, Malaysia, and Tanzania.^[3] The German coffee planter Oscar Majus Klöffer introduced Indian cardamom to cultivation in Guatemala before World War I; by 2000, that country had become the biggest producer and exporter of cardamom in the world, followed by India.^[4]

Name of ingredient :Himalayan salt

Latin names:  

Origin:  Pakistan

About:

Himalayan salt is rock salt (halite) mined from the Punjab region of Pakistan. The salt, which often has a pinkish tint due to trace minerals, is primarily used as a food additive to replace refined table salt but is also used for cooking and food presentation, decorative lamps and spa treatments. The product is often promoted with groundless claims that it has health benefits.

Himalayan salt is a table salt. Analysis of a range of Khewra salt samples showed them to be between 96% and 99% sodium chloride, with varying amounts of trace minerals such as calcium, iron, zinc, chromium, magnesium, and sulfate, all at safe levels below 1%.^{[1][9][10][11]} Some salts mined in Pakistan are not suitable for food or industrial use without purification due to impurities.^[1] Some salt crystals from this region have an off-white to transparent color, while the trace minerals in some veins of salt give it a pink, reddish, or beet-red color.^[12][13]

Nutritionally, Himalayan salt is similar to common table salt,^[11][14] except with regard to the essential mineral iodine. The commercial table salt in many countries is supplemented with iodine, and this has significantly reduced disorders of iodine deficiency.^[15] Himalayan salt lacks these beneficial effects of iodine supplementation.^[16][17]
