Cacao has been shown to help improve mental health because of its ability to lower stress levels and encourage feelings of relaxation. The compound, an amino acid known

as tryptophan, found in cacao is what leads to reduced stress because tryptophan is used by the body to create serotonin, one of the “feel good” chemicals in the brain.

Tryptophan can also improve sleep in some, which positively affects mood disorders.
