Very good
It keeps me focused and alert throughout the day.
Chocolate is the most craved food in the world, and for good reason. It delivers not only powerful sensory benefits, such as aroma, flavor and texture, but it also delivers mood-related benefits such as increased energy and improved focus along with other health benefits − all in one package. RFI recognized that few products in the food and functional ingredient fields could deliver the same attributes and impact. In the 1990s, our team of researchers dedicated themselves to developing and bringing to market this remarkable solution - Chocamine®.
Chocamine® is a patented cocoa-based extract, comprised of a synergistic blend of substances found in chocolate, and known to promote energy, focus, mood and performance as well as satisfy cravings.* The beneficial effects of chocolate come from more than one component and Chocamine® is standardized to leverage the full symphony. Some of the most notable compounds include xanthine alkaloids (principally theobromine, a mild stimulant and cognitive aid), amino acids, nutritional minerals, biogenic amines, anandamides and polyphenols. It is GRAS, great-tasting, clinically tested and a convincing source of energy.
Participants: 3 healthy adults
Assessment Tool: Audio-Visual Multiprocessing
Test (AVMT)
Dosage: 1000 mg Chocamine®
Results: The data from the AVMT studies show that consuming Chocamine® resulted in improved ability to react quickly to alternating auditory and visual commands and improved ability to ignore interfering auditory commands while remaining focused on a visual task.*
Participants: 40 healthy volunteers
Assessment Tool: IMPACT™ Cognitive Assessment − a prominent neurocognitive research tool used by scientists in the field of neuropsychology, particularly to measure the impact of odor, flavor and the stimulation of other chemical senses.
Dosage: 1000 mg Chocamine®
Results:
• Significant improvement in test assessing short-term memory and visual-motor response speed
• Up to 39% improvement after Chocamine® consumption
• Positive trends in tests assessing reaction time and impulse control/response inhibition
Chocamine® was formulated to provide functionality in several areas, including energy, mood, cognitive function and craving control. Clinical research supports improvement in the ability to focus and in short-term memory. In addition, the following benefits are supported by general research findings and conventional wisdom:
• Energy, endurance & stamina*
• Mental acuity & concentration*
• Mood & outlook*
• Patented & unique formula
• Self-affirmed GRAS
• Not based on caffeine
• Clinically tested
• Aroma and flavor of chocolate − great tasting!

I think ND needs to make it more clear that this has a lot more theobromine than other cocoa extracts. It is hard to find but this has 12X more than normal extracts. Theobromine is what you want and what gives you the good effects. You would have to take a lot more of other cocoa extracts than this for the same effects. Plus ND makes sure there are no heavy metals like you see in other cocoa extracts. It is more expensive for a reason. Do you really want heavy metals in your body?
takes some getting used to. The first 2 tries, its effectiveness for me felt lower than other supplements when used on its own. However, when taken with my typical 200mg caffeine in the morning, I notice the energy sustains twice s long as it usually does. I can imagine a tasty moka if one would pour some of it in their morning cup. The dark powder smells and tastes as good as dark chocolate and dissolves well in cold water (probably hot water too). First I tried mixing it in almond milk, but it doesn't dissolve in it. Dark chocolate bars affect me more than chocamine, but chocamine prolongs my caffeine intake. I've got a nice 125g supply for a while, and I am beginning to enjoy it should last all winter. Its quick and heartwarming. I like to add to the caf-choca-mix the Rhodiola Crenulata supplement found here on Nootropics Depot for synergistic effect. I love the mix when working customer-service. I appreciate ND's quality& variety! This chocamine is good grade
No reason to take more the 1000mg. One of the best supplements to increase cerebral bloodflow/oxygen, more of a long term subtle supplement not intended to feel any acute effects. Any possible acute effects will be subjective differently to all users. The best cocoa extract due to the patent.
It is probably a good product if you are looking to supplement the theobromine or for something to mix into coffee. However, it is far from the effects that raw cacao gives me (positive affect, well-being). It would be really great if there were a reliable cacao source (free from cadmium/lead) though I don't know how economically feasible that is.
This stuff is great! Be careful with your dosage as there are dose dependent positive responses and higher doses actually result in worsening of mood, tension, etc. The 1000-1500 mg is def the sweet spot, feels like all the benefits of drinking a nice hot cacao beverage with none of the mess. It’s perfect to add to Bulletproof coffee or any variation of that. I also have made a tincture of it with distilled water and given it to my staff at work and they all love it. Everyone agrees it puts em in a nice flow state and slightly elevates their mood. Thanks for carrying ND! Glad you guys aren’t closing down like Ceretropic :)
I dont know why ,when im using it i feel extremly tired and sleepy.I tried normal dose , small dose , and huge dose , same effect , and have mild headache .I give 3 stars cause its not work properly for me
I'm not sure yet how I feel about chocamine. I know it is a good product, it is clean, and is supposed to give you a lift, but for me I think whole cocoa powder works more effectively. Maybe I need the fat in the cocoa powder (natural, not dutched, and from a verifiably clean source as many if not most cocoa powders have high levels of some heavy metals) in order to better absorb the good things that are contained in cocoa powder. I'm not sure about this yet, am still using chocamine and comparing with straight cocoa powder. I gave it a four because I have no doubt this is a great product--and it is very easy to travel with! Comes in a great jar with a screw-on top. So I think the only thing I could say is try it yourself and see how it affects you. I do want to thank Nootropics for their outstanding shipping speed. I felt like I had just placed the order when the mailman was at the door with my box! That was very encouraging, especially since I live WAY out in the boonies, far from any major city. I hope Nootropics stays in business and keeps up the great customer service and shipping. I will be a life long customer if they do. Thanks.
when taking this product i seem to be more engaged and enthused for whatever i am working on. When not working, and just relaxing i notice a mood boost and heightened awareness. due to underwhelming effects from cacao powder, i did not expect much from this product. i bought it primarily because i was looking for something to supplement alongside caffeine. but the effects,being noticeable and consistent, exceeded my expectations.
This was outstanding. I found that 500mg on an empty stomach kept my mood elevated for most of the day. I felt extremely bliss using Chocamine. It is super handy to have in the pantry for those days that you need a physical and mental boost that will last beyond 6 hours. Only side effect that I noticed was that it aggravated my GORD/GERD.
