What are the health benefits of cacao?

Immune Strength

Steady Energy

Digestive Wellness

Mood Balance

Heart Health

Brain Health

Immune Strength

Cacao is rich in polyphenols, which have been shown to support immune system balance by reducing oxidative stress. The flavonoids in cacao may help regulate inflammation and improve the body’s natural defense mechanisms. Research suggests that cacao compounds can positively influence gut microbiota, which plays a critical role in immunity. A study published in Frontiers in Immunology (2019) found that cocoa polyphenols modulate both innate and adaptive immune responses, enhancing overall immune resilience (Martin et al., 2019).

Steady Energy

Cacao provides steady energy without the jitters often linked to coffee because it contains theobromine, a gentler stimulant than caffeine. Theobromine promotes alertness and focus while avoiding sudden spikes and crashes in energy. Cacao is also rich in magnesium, which supports cellular energy production and reduces fatigue. A study in Frontiers in Pharmacology (2017) highlighted that theobromine enhances mood and alertness in a smoother, more sustained way compared to caffeine (Mitchell et al., 2017).

Digestive Wellness

Cacao is naturally high in dietary fiber, which helps support healthy digestion and regularity. Its polyphenols promote the growth of beneficial gut bacteria, creating a more balanced microbiome. This gut balance is closely linked to improved nutrient absorption and reduced inflammation. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2011) found that cocoa flavanols significantly increased beneficial Bifidobacteria and Lactobacilli in the gut, supporting digestive wellness (Tzounis et al., 2011).

Mood Balance

Cacao contains compounds like theobromine and phenylethylamine (PEA), which can naturally enhance mood and promote feelings of well-being. It also boosts serotonin production, supporting emotional balance and reducing stress. Magnesium in cacao further contributes to relaxation and calmer mood regulation. A study in Nutrients (2017) reported that cocoa polyphenols were associated with improved mood and reduced symptoms of anxiety and depression (Socci et al., 2017).

Heart Health

Cacao is packed with flavanols that help improve blood flow and support healthy circulation. These compounds can lower blood pressure, enhance vascular function, and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. The antioxidants in cacao also protect against oxidative stress, a key factor in heart health. A meta-analysis published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2012) found that cocoa flavanol intake significantly improved endothelial function, an important marker of cardiovascular health (Hooper et al., 2012).

Brain Health

Cacao is rich in flavanols, powerful plant compounds that support brain health by improving blood flow, reducing inflammation, and enhancing neuroplasticity. Research shows that cacao polyphenols can make the brain work more efficiently during cognitive tasks (Scholey et al., 2023, PubMed), and systematic reviews confirm that daily flavanol-rich cacao intake can boost memory, attention, and overall cognitive performance across all ages (Socci et al., 2017, PMC).

Each ingredient is mindfully sourced. We work with suppliers directly to ensure only the highest quality ingredients go into our blends. All Daybreak products contain only organic, ethically sourced ingredients.

Monk fruit is often considered better than stevia because it has a cleaner, more sugar-like taste without the bitter aftertaste some people notice with stevia. Unlike stevia, monk fruit extract typically doesn’t require blending with other sweeteners to mask flavor, making it a more natural stand-alone option. It’s also less likely to cause digestive discomfort, which some people experience with certain forms of stevia or stevia blends. Monk fruit contains unique antioxidants called mogrosides, which may have additional anti-inflammatory and anti-cancer benefits beyond sweetness. Finally, both are
zero-calorie and safe for blood sugar, but many find monk fruit more enjoyable
for everyday use, especially in drinks and desserts.
