High Concentration of Antioxidants\u003c\/strong\u003e: Organic cacao powder contains more flavonoids, a type of antioxidant, than any other food.

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.
