Ever given a try to Cocoa and Kratom combination? Nah? Oh, you should give it a try! I say this from personal experience. Who doesn’t love a bit of chocolate flavor mixed in the Kratom blend? You don’t have to be so rigid about the ways of taking Kratom; you can try new combinations and make it a journey that you enjoy.
It’s not like I am asking you to try a combination of some boosters with Kratom. That is something I’ll never suggest as it can have adverse effects on your health. Let’s have a look at our favorite Cocoa and Kratom combination!
What is Cocoa?
Although I am aware most of you know what cocoa is, I am here to tell you more about what cocoa is composed of. Cocoa is a substance that contains large amounts of antioxidants that are beneficial to the body. They help in fighting oxygen radicals that are harmful to the cell. Thus, antioxidants have a significant role in the anti-aging process.
Cocoa is usually available in the form of cocoa powder. It contains two substances known as theobromine and theophylline, which act as a CNS stimulant. It is present in tea and caffeine too. Along with this, cocoa also raises the levels of serotonin in the body.
Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that improves the mood by eliminating stress. Another component of cocoa is tyramine, a substance that is important in antidepressant drugs.
It also contains certain flavonoids like epicatechin that has antioxidant properties. This is mainly present in dark chocolates. A thorough look at cocoa suggests that it is full of antioxidants and is responsible for improving mood, which can work well with Kratom.
Research studies suggest that Cocoa has a role in protecting heart and reducing the risk of Diabetes Mellitus by reducing weight. It also shows that it has anti-cancer role and thus is very beneficial.
Cocoa and Kratom combination
By now, you have an idea that both Kratom and Cocoa are fantastic antioxidants. Both substances individually fight off any harmful substances present in the body and detoxify drugs. Similarly, Cocoa and Kratom are known for reducing stress by promoting the release of happy neurotransmitters in the body.
They both act as anxiolytics and antidepressants. Thus, we can say that the combination of Kratom and Cocoa is one that we will recommend because both promote good health and well-being.
Apart from this, adding Cocoa to Kratom also prevents you from having an unpleasant after taste.
How can I take Cocoa and Kratom together?
You can have a Kratom Hot Chocolate and have the perfect combination. The recipe for this Hot chocolate is straightforward. You will need the following ingredients;
- Kratom powder: Take 2-3 grams of your favorite strain of Kratom
- Cocoa powder: Choose the brand that you like.
- Brown sugar
- Milk
- Cream
First, take a measured dose of Kratom, around 2-3 grams or as you prefer in a cup, and add one teaspoon of brown sugar along with a teaspoon or two of Cocoa powder. Add some boiling milk into the cup and stir it well. You would want to dissolve the cocoa powder and let the Kratom suspend. The brown sugar helps lift the taste of your hot chocolate, while the cocoa powder masks the taste of Kratom. You can add some cream to the mixture if you like it creamy.
What is Chocolate Kratom?
There is a thing known as Chocolate Kratom in the market, which is a pre-mixed combination of Kratom powder and Cocoa powder. This is something that I wouldn’t recommend you to buy as the flavonoids present in the cocoa diminish the effects of alkaloids when kept for longer duration together. Although the thought of Chocolate Kratom seems exciting, it is more of a marketing technique.
What are the effects of Kratom and Cocoa combination?

- Mood Booster: Cocoa is a substance that boosts the serotonin levels and tyramine in your body, thus enabling you to feel better, contented, and satisfied. You forget your worries and live in the mood. Kratom similarly is known for boosting mood and even causing euphoria at high doses.
- Anxiolytic action: As a person who has been suffering from discomfort for years now, I know how it feels. I know how your throat and mouth feels dry, I know when you can’t sleep at night. All these years, no medication worked for me, and even if it did, it came with so many side effects. I was introduced to Kratom by a friend, and it has been a couple of months that I have had relief from the palpitations, sleepless nights, and hyperventilation. I have tried the Kratom and cocoa combination, and I have loved it. A chocolate and Kratom lover now.
