Cacao

[Takemeaway]

Tried some Cacao today mixed in with Greek yoghurt.

Still waiting for it to kick in

Anyone on here into this stuff or is it the usual next big thing that floats into fashion as quickly as it disappears

I mix it into my overnight oats, gives them a bit more flavour and has health benefits, particularly with lowering blood pressure (I have high blood pressure) not sure if it works but nothing to lose TBH.

I buy the 2.5Kg bags of Callebaut power 80 and nibble a few callets daily.

Whether or not it has any 'effect' I couldn't say, but for it's supposed antioxidant health benefits I'll have a go.

Now I thought that stuff was expensive at £40 a bag. It's cooking chocolate, which is primarily what I use it for.

I think a lot of people will try most things, especially if you start googling stuff and it gets into your algorithms.

I’ve been trying a magnesium tablet every evening for a month and don’t feel any different whatsoever so I’ll be knocking that one on the head

Most supplements don’t ‘kick in’ or make you feel much different short term.

They will take months, and at best a slight incremental improvement will be felt.

Sometimes you won’t feel different, but your body will be slightly healthier. Sometimes your body doesn’t need the supplements so you won’t get any benefits.

There not a magic bullet.
