Contraindications

SACRED CACAO

  • All ingredients are vegan. MADE WITH OAT MILK
    Contraindications of cacao: please note at this event, one cup of cacao is considered a small dose
  • If you are on an antidepressant, SSRI, antipsychotic, or any other psychiatric medication please only have one cup of cacao, there will already be a lot of serotonin in your body.
  • If you have a heart condition or are pregnant: Be aware that the theobromine in cacao is a vasodilator: it increases the heart rate and lowers blood pressure, so you may be better off with a smaller dose * If you are on MAOI antidepressants, cacao (& all forms of chocolate) is contraindicated because it contains tyramine.
  • If you are taking 5-htp (5-Hydroxytryptophan) it’s advisable to have a smaller dose of cacao.
  • If you are taking St John’s Wort, please refrain from taking it for a few days before.
  • If you are epileptic a high consumption of cacao could possibly increase the risk of seizures. * some people are allergic or sensitive to theobromine – it can trigger headaches or migraines in some
    people. In some cases, a smaller dose will be fine depending on how sensitive you are.
