Ceremonial Cacao Shot - 30ml

What is a ceremonial cacao shot?

A ceremonial cacao shot is a concentrated drink made from raw, minimally processed cacao (Theobroma cacao) from Peru. This shot contains 6000mg cacao per 30ml and is intended as a companion for magic truffle sessions. Unlike regular chocolate, ceremonial cacao retains all natural active compounds.

What active compounds does this cacao shot contain?

The main active compound is theobromine, a natural stimulant that works more gently than caffeine. Additionally, raw cacao contains phenylethylamine (PEA), anandamide and flavonoids. The shot is enriched with 250mg vitamin C and 200mg citric acid for better absorption and taste.

How do I use the ceremonial cacao shot?

Drink the shot chilled, 15-30 minutes before or during your truffle session. Shake the bottle well before use. The full flavour of cacao helps soften the bitter taste of magic truffles.

What is the recommended dosage?

• Standard dosage: 1 shot (30ml) per session
• Maximum: 1 shot per 24 hours
• Do not exceed recommended amount

What are the effects of ceremonial cacao?

Users report a warm, focused feeling and mild energy that comes on gradually. The theobromine in cacao works slower than caffeine and does not cause a nervous or jittery feeling. Ceremonial cacao is traditionally associated with heart opening and mental clarity.

Is this cacao shot legal?

Yes, ceremonial cacao is a completely legal food product in the Netherlands and the rest of the EU. Cacao is not covered by drug legislation and can be freely sold and consumed.

What is the difference between raw cacao and regular cacao?
