Chocamine
As the name suggests, Chocamine is an extract of cocoa. Fortunately, it delivers all the benefits of chocolate without the sugar, fat or guilt. Chocamine contains a number of active ingredients that help curb appetite and speed up metabolism, including caffeine, tyramine, theobromine and phenylethylamine (PEA). In addition to fat loss, this bad boy boosts energy and also improves mood, concentration and alertness. Although no current studies directly support the effect of Chocamine on fat loss, much research supports the effectiveness of the active ingredients.
Dosage
Take 1-2g of Chocamine 1-3 times daily.
