The Biology of Connection

Circulation & Connection

Cocoa flavonoids and citrulline are studied in relation to normal nitric-oxide pathways and circulation. Individual experiences vary.

Everyday Wellbeing

Sleep, stress, mood, and relationships all shape how people feel. Maca has been studied in relation to energy, resilience, and the body’s everyday stress response.

Mood & the Brain

Cocoa contains naturally occurring compounds associated with mood and reward pathways. A pleasurable shared ritual can also support relaxation and closeness.
