Put This Under Your Tongue for 30 Seconds… Here's What Happens | Dr. Mandell

The Cacao Method00:00:02

A simple health habit involves placing about 1/4 teaspoon of pure, raw, unsweetened cacao powder under the tongue for 30 seconds before swallowing to allow for efficient absorption through the sublingual capillaries.

Health Benefits of Cacao00:00:44

Raw cacao is rich in flavanols that boost nitric oxide production, which helps relax blood vessels, improves circulation, and supports insulin sensitivity. It also provides magnesium, which aids in muscle relaxation and glucose metabolism.

Practical Usage and Precautions00:01:45

The habit is meant to support the body at a cellular level rather than act as a stimulant. It is recommended to use it once daily, preferably in the morning. Those who are pregnant, sensitive to stimulants, or on blood pressure/blood sugar medication should consult a healthcare provider first.
