Pregnancy and Breastfeeding.

You can still drink Cacao during pregnancy but in a smaller dose- there is caffeine and can raise blood rate but lower blood pressure. So have half a heart instead of a full size. 

During breastfeeding, because Cacao has a small dose of caffeine in it, it can keep your baby awake for a bit longer so make sure you have it in smaller doses still like half a heart and drink after your baby has gone down for a nap so that it doesn't affect their sleep times.

​

Does cacao have caffeine?

YES it is caffeinated but is slower releasing and at a lower amount than what coffee has. The effect is VERY different to coffee. However it still has caffeine in it.

​

Is there any medications that can cause problems with Cacao?

Anti-depressants have a similar chemical component to Cacao so it is recommended to have a very small dose of Ceremonial Cacao if you are taking this drug. Please speak with your Dr if you are concerned.

​

*WARNING*

 If you have high blood pressure do not drink ceremonial grade cacao unless discussed with Dr.
