Health Benefits of this Mocha Truffles are:

#1. Brain and Energy Boost

Cacao is one of those magical natural ingredients that not only tastes delicious but puts you in a blissful mood. Research has shown that cacao directly impacts the release of neurotransmitters that can lead to positive emotions of euphoria and happiness. Just another reason why chocolate is always a great gift for your spouse [*][*].

Dark chocolate is rich with flavonoids which deliver powerful fuel to your brain. It supports mental clarity and focus, and studies have shown that it can improve the conditions of those suffering from various cognitive complications [*][*][*].

Our Perfect Keto Instant Coffee Mocha combines coffee and MCT oil powder that gives you the boost you need. The MCTs deliver fast-acting, sustainable brain fuel, enabling you to apply sharper concentration and mental focus on the task at hand.

#2. Supports Heart and Blood Health

Cacao delivers a powerful punch of antioxidants to your body which is great for your heart health and blood flow. Research has shown how cacao can help improve blood pressure and cardiovascular function [*].

Similarly, dark chocolate is rich with antioxidants and flavonoids that greatly benefit your blood health. Multiple studies have shown the positive effects that dark chocolate has on heart health including reduction in blood pressure, improving the lining of the arteries, and overall decrease in risks of cardiovascular complications [*][*][*][*][*].

Coconut cream is an excellent source of fatty acids that improve heart health.

#3. Improves Digestion

Dark chocolate and Cacao provides a solid dose of polyphenols which have been shown improve digestive function and intestinal health. Specifically, these essential properties found within cacao have been linked to aiding in the alleviation of diarrhea [*][*].
