It is the dried and fermented seed of the fruit that is made from the combination of cocoa liquor with cocoa butter and sugar. Cocoa is high in flavonoid content - these are bioactive antioxidants found in plants and are responsible for its bitter taste of. The main flavonoids you'll find in cocoa are epicatechin, catechin and procyanidinsepicatechin. The higher the cocoa solids of the food, the higher the flavonoid content. Aiming for 70% or higher solids will limit the amount of added sugar and ensure that you've maximized the antioxidant content. This sweet treat is a good source of both zinc and magnesium, both of which have been shown to boost testosterone. Whilst it doesn't contain enough of these nutrients to spark massive hormone increases it does contribute significantly. Cocoa has also been shown to reduce cortisol - the body's stress hormone that can play havoc with your T levels. Even so, this is not a free licence to eat as much cocoa as you want - more is not necessarily better. This treat has a high fat content so can push you into a positive energy balance is you are not monitoring your diet carefully. So be aware and eat sparingly, or at best, on a semi-regular basis aiming for 1-2 servings per week.
