Another favourite for winter, packed full of Medicinal Mushroom madness from our Mushroom Complex, which has equal amounts of the Organic Reishi, Raw Chaga and Cordyceps a powerstack for your immune system as well as all the nootropic benefits that each brings to the party. Mushrooms and cacao have been used together throughout history (the Aztec sign for chocolate and mushrooms is a circle within a circle), and as we have said previously, Cacao aids the immune system and mood, so when we combine the mushrooms with Cacao Powder, you not only have a delicious, heavenly chocolate concoction, but your inside love you at the same time.
