The Master Ingredient: Astaxanthin
Astaxanthin has been studied over 1000 times and has been studied to reduce inflammation, improve metabolism, and improve your bodies ability to utilize fat during exercise- improving athletic endurance. Astaxanthin's main benefits are designed around the brain, heart, reducing fatigue and reducing inflammation in the joints. It is the most powerful antioxidant measured by ORAC and will have instrumentally more impact on your health than most other supplements when you are trying to reduce inflammation and cortisol.

Well...Why is this Better?
The long story short. We just destroyed "mushroom coffee". The ORAC (Antioxidant Potency) of Astaxanthin dwarfs anything regular mushroom coffee has to offer. In their blends, their Beta-Glucans, Cordycepin, or Hericenones are never standardized with their mushrooms and they use "stock cacao" never monitored for flavanol content. There is not much value in cacao when you high temperature roast it and add it in for flavor. The dosages of the mushrooms in their blends are usually under dosed as well, ours are based on science :). Plus no other blends are using Astaxanthin, a red microalgae extract or Magnesium Acetyl Taurate.
You will see that category is a "nothing burger" that tastes like dirt, which is why they have to mask the flavor by adding it to something else.
As you can see, we ran in the opposite direction with all of our ingredients, which is why you will feel the difference. How do we source such high quality ingredients while keeping price reasonable? We're an incredibly lean organization.
What Can I Expect?
Astaxanthin takes 30-60 days to accumulate in the body, so we recommend starting with 2 bags. If you don't like it or don't feel any improved steady energy levels, join flexibility, or athletic endurance, we're happy to give you your money back. PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE NOT MAKING ANY MEDICAL CLAIMS WITH THIS PRODUCT AND WE ARE NOT CLAIMING THIS WILL HAVE ANY HEALTH IMPACT. THE STATEMENTS HAVE NOT BEEN REVIEWED BY THE FDA.
What are the ingredients in this mix proven to provide for the body? Improved blood flow, stamina, heart health, and brain health. How can you use it? 2.5tsp in 1-4oz of hot water and use a frother or blender!
Quality and Transparency:
Feel free to ask for a COA on these ingredients at any time. It's very important that our customers feel safe consuming this product and understand how seriously we take our sourcing and how we choose our ingredients. We truly believe this mix accomplishes exactly what it is designed for, and that we take our sourcing more seriously than the majority of health product companies on the market.
Organic Cocoa Powder
We intentionally source from farms that use organic, regenerative, growing practices, without chemicals in use. We test for pesticides, herbicides, and GMOs, and all our test reports come back negative. We are personally on the ground in Ecuador working with farmers and manufacturers to produce this Flavanol Rich Chocolate mix.
Flavanol Rich Cocoa Powder- 50% Fat
At the heart of this mix is "Ceremonial Cacao Powder", that is incredibly difficult to produce because of the high fat content. However, we believe this vegan non oxidized cacao butter in the powder, will provide sustainable energy and assist in nutrient absorption. Usually people remove the fat and sell it a higher price but we kept it in the powder. A lot of people said this 50% Fat Powder Could not be done!! Now, finally we present our Flavanol Rich Chocolate Powder to the world.
Cocoa Flavanols are vital because they are a powerful antioxidant. The Purple Hue in the Pure Cacao is a specific type of cocoa flavanol called an Anthocyanin. This is the same nutrient that is found in Purple Cabbage and Sweet Potatoes. Specific types of Cacao naturally have this color at the time of harvest and we preserve this nutrient by immediately removing moisture at the time of harvest and preventing oxidation, thus retaining it's color. That is why Vital Purple is technically a purple cocoa, and why it's color should be recognized as a sign that it is very nutrient dense. The Anthocyanins are what give it this purple cocoa powder it's purple hue, and they're an incredibly powerful antioxidant.
Is this expensive?
This is still cheaper than a cup of coffee and with our efficacy being 2-3x better on certain ingredients vs our "competitors", this is very well priced compared to what's on the market for this level of efficacy for these ingredients. With the dosages of mushrooms and antioxidant levels of other mushroom mixes, you would probably need to drink 4 cups(that taste terrible) compared to what we are giving you here. There is not a more unique product inside this category.
