The Product
COR Pure Cacao Powder
A single ingredient, treated with the respect it has earned over three thousand years. Raw. Non-alkalized. Whole. This is cacao before the industry got to it.
The Science
Cacao was never meant to be processed.
Most cocoa on the shelf is alkalized — bathed in potassium carbonate in a process called Dutching. Companies do it for three reasons, and none of them are about you: it darkens the color for a richer look, it smooths the bitter edge into something uniform, and it extends shelf life.
The problem is what alkalizing takes with it. Studies have measured losses of up to 60–90% of cacao's flavanols — the very antioxidants behind its benefits for circulation, focus and mood. You are left with the color of cacao and almost none of the substance.
COR does the opposite. We ferment and sun-dry at origin, then cold-mill the raw bean into powder. No alkali. No high-heat roast. No compromise. The bitterness you taste is the benefit, intact.
What You Get
The full breakdown.
Focus Without the Crash
Theobromine is cacao's gentler cousin to caffeine. It stimulates without overdriving the nervous system, releasing slowly so energy stays level for hours — no spike, no 3pm collapse, no racing heart.
A Better Baseline Mood
Cacao contains compounds that support the body's own serotonin and dopamine pathways, alongside small amounts of naturally occurring mood-active molecules. The result people describe is subtle but real: a lift, not a high.
Magnesium for Recovery
Raw cacao is one of the most magnesium-dense foods available — a mineral most people are short on. It underpins muscle contraction, nerve function, deep sleep and recovery between training days.
Antioxidants, Undamaged
Because COR is never alkalized, its flavanol content stays close to the raw bean. Gram for gram that places it among the richest antioxidant sources on earth — ahead of blueberries, green tea and red wine.
Circulation & Heart
Cacao flavanols are among the most studied compounds in nutrition for supporting healthy blood flow and vascular function. Keeping them intact is the entire point of not Dutching the powder.
Nothing You Didn't Ask For
