cacao-nibsSun Star Organics’ raw Cacao Nibs from Venezuela are a richer, dark brown color, and more dense than the Philippine Cacao. It’s flavor is also more intense, with a faint coffee-like flavor in addition to the light chocolate taste.

To fully receive all the nutrional benefits from the Cacao plant, eat Cacao as close to its natural state as possible. Raw Cacao Nibs are rich in a number of essential minerals: magnesium, sulfur, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, potassium, and manganese.

A small evergreen tree native to the deep tropical region of the Americas, the scientific name Theobroma means “food of the gods”. It may increase your focus and alertness and contains nutrients to keep you happy. Chocolate and cacao are often associated with love. All this is due to phenylethylamine contained in the cacao.

In its raw state, it contains a wide array of unique properties, antioxidants and minerals that enhance both physical and mental well-being. It has an incredibly rich supply of magnesium, along with other essential minerals: calcium, zinc, iron, copper and potassium. The majority of antioxidants are water-soluble and when the fat is removed from the cacao bean the ORAC scores almost double.

The lure of chocolate can be overwhelming for some people. Cocoa contains theobromine (a chemical related to caffeine). The sugar in chocolate releases serotonin (a brain chemical related to a positive sense of well-being). Despite its physical properties chocolate is not a physically addictive food, however some people may find themselves psychologically addicted to chocolate. This may not be true for raw cacao.

Ingredients: USDA Certified Organic, Raw Cacao Nibs.

The Benefits of Deer Antler Velvet, Colostrum & Chaga Mushroom

Velvet-FactorsIn combination, Velvet Deer Antler, Colostrum and Chaga Mushroom provide a potent blend of naturally occurring growth factors and antioxidants which are involved in every cellular function in your body.

Concentrated and in combination, the formula will provide a more effective and affordable supplement than taking the three traditionally prepared single supplements separately.

High tech processing

Careful processing of these extraordinary ingredients – Deer Antler Velvet, Colostrum and Chaga Mushroom – is the key to getting maximum benefit.

The raw materials require innovative handling and must be purified, then highly concentrated. Processing with too much heat or alcohol will destroy the delicate matrix of these life-enhancing substances.

Why an acid-resistant capsule?

Because stomach acids are harsh and destructive, it’s critical to protect the fragile colostrum, deer antler and chaga extracts in an acid-resistant capsule. It helps to ensure the growth factors and antioxidants are not destroyed before they are delivered to the smallintestine, where they can help ward off systemic immune diseases and gastrointestinal pathogens.

Deer Antler Velvet Benefits

Deer Antler is acknowledged as one of the most important tonic herbs in China. It contains natural growth factors, which begin to decrease in our bodies between the ages of 20 and 30.

As we age, our bodies become more dependent on the growth factors, although by age 65, our levels have dropped by 70%. Replacing lost growth factors is a way to help the body and mind feel younger and healthier.

Along with neuroproteins, these growth factors have a multitude of benefits. Deer antler’s anti-inflammatory peptides have undergone years of research by William E. Hahn, from the Department of Cellular and Structural Biology at the University of Colorado.

As part of his study of neuroproteins and a substance known as ependymin, he collaborated on the development of a molecule from a natural brain protein which is thought to function in brain development and memory.

This led to animal studies that linked ependymin to a near doubling of lifespan. Hahn found ependymin-like glycoproteins in the regenerative tissue of deer antler.

A meticulously prepared deer antler velvet extract contains high-potency, anti-aging peptides and is one of the few sources of naturally occurring growth factors and co-factors. It provides Insulin Growth Factors (IGF-1 and 2) in oral form, which bypasses the pituitary and liver (unlike Human Growth Hormone “HGH”), dissolves rapidly and shows fast action. Deer antler also contains:

  • Transforming Growth Factors (TGF)
  • Nerve Growth Factor (NGF)
  • Neurotropin-3 (NGF3)
  • Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGF-2) and Vascular Endothelial

Growth Factor (VEGF) which work synergistically with NGF to promote neurite and nerve survival and development. This combination of diverse growth factors, cofactors and neuropeptides are what makes them so effective over a broad range of bodily systems and functions.

Potent and ethically harvested deer antler velvet

It is important to know the origin or the velvet deer antler you take, both from an effectiveness and humane standpoint. The most potent growth factors are contained in the deer antler tips, which can be harvested without harming the animal in any way.

Chaga Mushroom Benefits

Chaga is one of the earth’s most potent natural supplements. A great source of high potency, radiation free Chaga Mushroom herb is from pristine North American sites.

Chaga Mushroom has been shown to boost one of the body’s most powerful natural antioxidant enzymes: superoxide dismutase (SOD). It contains 25 to 50 times more SOD enzymes than any other medicinal mushrooms and nearly seven times higher on the ORAC scale than acai, its closest food comparison.

Chaga Mushroom is known to:

  • Help reduce depression, fatigue, insomnia and irritability
  • Aid in boosting energy levels
  • Act as an immune system modulator and adaptogen, with the highest level of the healing enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD) of any food or herb in the world
