Greetings,

Sometimes I don't "feel" like drinking some hot cocoa or rosemary- but I would like to experience these substances effects.
I thought perhaps I should start capping Cocoa (for an afternoon "pick me up") and Rosemary (for neurotransmitter synthesis)

Does anyone here cap Cocoa?

Thanks!

I cap cocoa extract. I like it. Did you have a question about it?

What does cocoa extract do?

I take it because its stimulating but it doesn't make me jittery at all. Its got some caffeine in it, but its mostly theobromine and other xanthines (caffeine analogues), most of which have a longer lasting, more drawn out stimulating effect than caffeine. Its also got tyrosine, phenylalanine, and tyramine to add to the natural energy boost. Its got some antioxidant properties as well. Here's an article about BulkNutrition's specific brand of cocoa extract which they call Chocamine:

Thanks for your response!!!!

Serotonin levels decline around 3:00 PM- a great time to take some Cocoa caps and go on a jog.

I intend to start capping tumeric, cocoa, rosemary, ginger etc...

I want to get some big capsules, should I try a pharmacy?

If I'm just looking for plain capsules I usually just buy the NOW brand from bulk nutrition. If you want more options (colors/flavors/ etc) the best place I've ever found is Capsuline:

I've purchased from them several times and I've always had a good experience. You'll also need a capping machine. The "cap 'em quick" is a cheap and commonly used solution. You can find those at Bulk Nutrition as well, and a number of other places.
