Cocoa Butter"},"content":{"rendered":"\n
Cacao and cocoa are vastly different in structure and health benefits. It is very common for people to use cacao and cocoa interchangeably, but they are not one in the same. IN fact, the mispronunciation and misunderstanding of cacao butter vs. cocoa butter is more common than one would think. Clarification is necessary because they are two completely different products with different performance levels, even though they may look the same and originate from the same tree.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Both cacao butter and cocoa butter come from Theobroma cacao <\/em>beans by means of grinding them into a powder. Cacao butter is raw and unrefined. Cocoa butter undergoes refinement at high temperatures, ultimately changing the DNA of the original source. In doing so, the heating destroys much of the molecular structural properties, removing some of the health benefits. Cacao is essentially the raw version of cocoa, meaning that it retains many of the antioxidants, fiber, and lipids present in the original source.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cacao butter contains polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that work to protect the body from free radicals. In fact, cacao butter is one of the richest sources of polyphenols (up to 87%), and contains more flavonoids than many other foods. Polyphenols are extremely beneficial for heart health and blood flow, two things that you need to thwart erectile dysfunction<\/a>. While cacao butter is edible, it is not very palatable because of the high astringency and bitterness from the raw cacao.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Cacao butter is rich in vitamins K, E, B1, B2, B3, folate, calcium, omega-3s, and other fatty acids called palmitic, stearic, lauric, and myristic acids. Roughly 35% of the fat in cacao butter is monounsaturated fat (oleic acid), and 1% polyunsaturated fat (linoleic acid). It also contains L-arginine and eight of the nine essential amino acids. Cacao butter is also high in vitamin D2 and potassium, which helps in lowering blood pressure. It also contains zinc, which is integral for supporting immune health and sperm reproduction, and magnesium for supporting muscle and nerve health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the many invigorating attributes in Sword Vitality\u2019s XXL Xtreme cream<\/a> is the presence of L-arginine in the cacao butter. According to several studies, topical application of L-arginine triggers the production of nitric oxide (NO), which is overwhelmingly responsible for increasing blood flow to the penis<\/a>. It does this by helping the muscles in the penis relax, which ultimately allows the penis to fill with blood and become erect.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Researchers continue to discover how ancient civilizations utilized natural health remedies to treat numerous health conditions. Remembering the universal axiom, \u201cyour food is your medicine,\u201d you won\u2019t go wrong by taking the natural route. But don\u2019t let the word “natural” confuse you. The \u201cnatural\u201d that we are speaking of references a holistic approach to remedying the body. Unfortunately, \u201cnatural\u201d is an eye-catching word tossed around loosely. Natural does not always translate to healthy or good. It\u2019s still possible for many toxins or harmful chemicals to be disguised in terms like \u201cnatural flavors\u201d or \u201cfragrances.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n An example of history\u2019s most prodigious uses of the cacao bean comes from the ancient Aztec men. As it was in Africa, Jamaica, and other Caribbean territories, cacao was reserved for the wealthy nobles, lords, and kings. The only other exception of sharing cacao was with soldiers just before battle because it made them more virile and aggressive in battles. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bloody practices of the ancient Aztec men aside, they also regularly indulged in these exotic beans predominately to prepare themselves for love making. In fact, it is well known that Montezuma, the Aztec emperor, ingested many goblets of a cacao infused drink so that he would be at his most virile state when walking into his harem. <\/p>\n\n\n\nNutrients In Cacao Butter<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
