Living Libations Chocolate Bar - Bliss Like This Ecstatic (4oz / 114g)

Why a raw chocolate Beauty Bar with medicinal herbs?

The chocolate bean has been seen as both sinner and saint; but, a regular candy bar – this ain’t. “Let food be thy medicine”, the wise Hippocrates once said, and the pure “uncooked” chocolate bean is actually a nourishing plant food. Indigenous cultures of the rainforest have thrived on this food. The cacao bean is an amazing superfood rich in minerals (one of the highest sources of magnesium) and protein. This special food also combines synergistically with other potent botanical herbs for a highly energizing, nourishing bar that reaches every cell of your body. 

Does it contain caffeine?

Only theobromine, which is an immune enhancing aspect of the chocolate bean. Regularly manufactured chocolate contains a caffeine additive. Feel the energy without the edge! 

Isn’t chocolate a “guilty pleasure”?

This chocolate is a smart, healthy food choice as it is free of milk solids, dairy, sugar, roasted cocoa fats, corn syrup. Thus the chocolate is absolutely digestible and rich in magnesium, creating a slimming aspect. Again because it is free of processed food substances and is digestible, rich in anti-oxidants it contributes to radiant health and skin. 

Why is this chocolate a “Beauty Bar”?

Because this chocolate is un-roasted and combined with nutritive herbs, one receives all of the rich magnesium, calcium, protein, polyphenols and anti-oxidants, making this a supreme energy food that generates glowing beauty.

Is the Living Libations Bar a “smart food”?

Or, get your hair done and go out on the town, this bar releases the bliss molecules from your crown. 

What does Pure Source Chocolate mean?

This means the bean is “clean”: ethically harvested, organic, forest-shade grown (instead of clear cutting agriculture), and fair trade. 

Details on the Medicinal Herbs: 

Camu Camu Berries – Highest Source of Vitamin C

These are bush-berries that grow in swampy and flooded areas of the Amazon (much like the cranberry). Camu is the highest natural source of vitamin C, rich in iron, niacin, anti-oxidants, phosphorus, potassium, riboflavin, beta carotene, minerals and amino acids including serine, valine, and leucine. The terpenes alpha-pinene and d-limonene are also found in these dynamic berries. Our Camu is ecologically wildcrafted in the Peruvian Amazon where it is pulped, macerated and dehydrated. This process preserves the phytonutrient content of the berries producing by far the finest product available, with a vitamin C content of 13–16%!

Goji berries - Rich in Beta Carotene, Vitamin C and Amino Acids These berries are a traditional longevity enhancer, countless stories dating back nearly 2000 years concern its miraculous ability to prolong and improve life. An incredibly happy herbal berry containing 18 amino acids, up to 21 important trace minerals such as germanium, zinc, calcium, iron, copper, selenium… each berry is packed full of beta-carotene, in fact goji berries are said to be the richest carotenoid source of any known food plant! One of the more concentrated sources for vitamin C. Rich in vitamins B1, B2, B6 and E. These wonder berries also contain immune strengthening polysaccharides. One polysaccharide in the berries has been found to induce secretion of rejuvenative growth hormone by the pituitary gland. As a food it is said to enhance cheerfulness, vitality and clarity.

Maca Root – Very High in Protein, Over 22 Amino Acids and Minerals This root is an ancient Andean food-medicine plant cultivated for at least 4,000 years.

Clinical research demonstrates it to be a powerful fertility/libido enhancer for both men and women. Nourishes the endocrine system and being hailed as a supreme longevity herb and treatment for the biochemical imbalances.

Yacon Root – Natural Non-Glycemic Sweetener. Yacon is a sunflower relative with edible tubers grown throughout the Andean region. Yacon roots contain important quantities of potassium and antioxidants. Unlike many other roots and tubers, yacon does not store its carbohydrates as starch, but as fructooligosaccharide (FOS) this yields a very sweet syrup that the body does not react to like sugar.

Purple Corn – Amazing Antioxidant. Maize morado, has been grown in Peru as a food and medicine since antiquity.

Anthocyanins are known to be anticarcinogenic, antimutagenic, antimicrobial, antiviral; they are found to reduce cholesterol, promote connective tissue regeneration, stimulate collagen formation, improve circulation, enhance vision, boost immune function and reduce inflammation. This ancient variety is gaining popularity as a anti-aging herb and a immune-tonic. We find it has a calming effect on the body and mind, promoting a tranquil state.

A powerful antioxidant and immunomodulator to balance liver, heart health, thyroid, stimulate gastric juices and reduce inflammation. The main active constituents in Seabuckthorn are considered the flavonoids quercitin, isorhamnetin, myricetin and kaempferol, laboratory studies suggest they have adaptogenic properties, promote production of red blood cells, reduce allergies, protect against carcinogenesis, decrease cholesterol and improve heart function.

Ecstatic Chocolate Bar 
Taste: Hawaiian Jasmine flowers exhale bliss, with a citrus squeeze of lemon zest.
This Chocolate Bar is made with organic raw cacao beans, maca root, hemp seeds, herbs of iporuru and chuchuhuasi, vanilla beans, raw honey, flowers of jasmine, ylang, pink lotus and a dash of virgin coconut creme.

Some say they were picking golden berries, while others are sure Ron and Nadine were picnicking in a poppy field. Either way, it was an enchanting day; hummingbirds were tickling the vanilla orchids and the honeybees were faithful to the flowers... when suddenly, his chocolate syrup spilled into her Jasmine juice and gold lightening burst loose. The blue lotus sky supernova-ed into a brilliant pink, the soil became ground Cacao and Hemp seeds sprouted and spread across the valley. Then, the entire packed picnic unfurled and began to dance: Yacon started to pour, Iporuru dipped into the fondue, Chuchuhuasi swirled a hula hue, Ylang began kissing everyone on the cheek, while Macaroot chanted the back beat. Laughter chimed, and they shouted: 'more, more!' with glee. It was from this day forward that they forever abandoned to play.

And so the adventure began. Bliss. Like This.
