Cocoa, a gift from the cacao tree rooted in Latin America, reveals its extraordinary story in its name - Theobroma cacao, meaning ""food of the gods"" in Greek, coined by Carl Linnaeus. It was the Mayans who introduced cocoa into their culture, later adopted by the Aztecs as a part of their rituals and religious ceremonies, believing in its divine properties to enhance endurance and drive away fatigue.

The main components of cocoa seeds are fats, predominantly stearic and palmitic acids, along with monounsaturated fatty acids and a wealth of sterols and fiber. However, the most valuable for health are flavonoids, offering antioxidant, hypotensive, and anti-aggregative effects, backed by numerous scientific studies highlighting their therapeutic potential.

Equally interesting are the psychoactive substances found in cocoa, such as caffeine, theobromine, and anandamide, which, though in small amounts, have a positive impact on mood and well-being, making cocoa a perceived natural relaxant.

The heart of this product lies in the extract from the root of ashwagandha, Withania somnifera. This plant, belonging to the nightshade family, grows as an evergreen shrub mainly in India and the Middle East. Recognized as an adaptogen, it is valued in stress-relieving preparations for over three thousand years. Its main properties include stress reduction, anxiety relief, cognitive function improvement, fertility and sexual function support, as well as enhancing the body's resilience and regenerative capacity.

Particularly noteworthy is its ability to alleviate anxiety, through its influence on the GABA receptor system, although precise mechanisms of action remain subject to further research. Ashwagandha also shows promising results in treating insomnia, offering an alternative for those seeking gentler options than conventional drugs, which may lead to dependence.

Nutrioza®, an innovative corn dextrin serving as the base of this supplement, introduces a new quality in nutrition, offering a lower glycemic response and acting prebiotically, resulting in a beneficial effect on gut microbiota and overall well-being.

Such a unique combination of nutrioza®, ashwagandha, and cocoa makes this supplement not only support physical health but also have a positive impact on mental balance. It's more than a product - it's a revolution in the approach to a healthy lifestyle.
