Does it work?
- L-theanine is a natural green tea extract that promotes calmer thoughts and eases anxiety.
- Sceletium promotes seratonin which is the feel-good hormone. Used for centuries by the San people who called it kougoed (chew stuff), they even used sceletium to calm their children. Fortunately, we don’t need to chew on a plant to get our dose of sceletium, we get it in delicious chocolate. Sceletium reduces feelings of anxiety, depression and even hunger and thirst, while improving cognition. A study on sceletium showed sceletium works for enhancing positive mood and cognitive function, reducing stress, and inducing calm without sedative effects, and, very importantly, without inducing dependency.
- Cocoa mitigates the effects of anxiety on people. A recent study [1] showed that cocoa lowered blood pressure, which can help you feel more relaxed. The theobromine in dark chocolate can also help focus.
