Q. Is it okay to take a cacao supplement daily?
   A. People consume cacao and chocolate products on a daily basis without apparent problems, so it seems that cacao daily use should be safe. But, it still may be a good idea to take a day or two off a week.

   A. Each person is different but we don't see the need to take more than two capsules a day. If you notice being restless or irritable or anxious, just like having too much caffeine, then take a break from the cacao supplement and resume a couple of days later at a lower dosage.

Q. I understnad cacao supplements have good antioxidants, are they more potent than resveratrol? Which is better?
