Whey protein powder must be mixed with liquid before it can be consumed. Mix it with water or milk; the amount of liquid you use depends on personal preference.

To determine your RDA for protein, you can multiply your weight in pounds by 0.36.

When it comes to selecting whey protein, there are three main types you should know about: concentrate (WPC), isolate (WPI) and hydrolysate (WPH).

A 2013 study published in the journal \u003cem\u003eHypertension\u003c\/em\u003e found that drinking beet root juice lowered systolic blood pressure (BP) in patients for 24 hours after consuming the juice.

Findings from a 2010 study published in the journal \u003cem\u003eNitric Oxide\u003c\/em\u003e demonstrated that consuming a high nitrate diet increased blood flow to the frontal lobe in older adults. The frontal lobe is important for cognitive function, and is usually at risk in elderly patients who are susceptible to cognitive decline.

Unlike other plants, matcha is protected from sunlight for most of its life, in order to develop its rich amino acid profile and unique flavor. As such, it requires fertilizers for energy to grow. The fertilizers used to grow our matcha are high-quality, natural fertilizers, although they are not certified organic.

Improved Heart Health\u003c\/strong\u003e: According to researchers,  regular cacao intake may reduce blood pressure by thinning blood and relaxing blood vessels.

Mood Booster\u003c\/strong\u003e: There's scientific research that explains why we reach for chocolate when we're feeling down.  Cacao stimulates the release of endorphins and serotonin, the two chemicals that naturally boost our happiness levels. The presence of the lipid anandamide, also known as the 'bliss chemical,' further contributes to a euphoric feeling, and, unlike caffeine, is not addictive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4.

Magnesium and more\u003c\/strong\u003e: Cacao is one of the richest food sources of magnesium. Although magnesium gets less spotlight than calcium, a proper balance of the two minerals is essential to support healthy bones and teeth. Magnesium also plays an important role in over 300 chemical reactions in the body, protects the heart, maintains healthy blood pressure, increases energy, and controls blood sugar levels. Organic cacao powder is also a natural source of calcium, iron, zinc, potassium, and other nutrients.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"allergen-information\"\u003eAllergen Information\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMay Contain:\u003c\/strong\u003e Milk, Soy.\n\u003cstrong\u003eThis product is certified Kosher Pareve.
