Made with raw cacao, “The Food Of The Gods”, a powerful mood-enhancing food in its raw form, where its benefits are not being destroyed by the heat. It contains significant tryptophan, serotonin, and endorphins involved in supporting our state of wellbeing, sense of connectivity and happiness. It also contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any other food, as well as many precious minerals, and vitamin C. Raw cacao is the number one source of the alkaline mineral magnesium, so important for the relaxation of the muscular, nervous and cardiovascular systems.
These yummy balls are also made with spirulina, an alkaline freshwater-growing algae, which had been for the Aztec, their primary source of protein for thousands of years. It contains all 8 essential amino-acids, and 18 in total. It is a super food containing an astounding array of other nutrients, such as chlorophyll, vitamins, major minerals, nucleic acids, essential fatty-acids and antioxidants.
