We buy it when it goes on sale, due to that fact.

Yeah, I see it on Amazon for 46¢ / capsule and you definitely need three according to the label to get the 750 mg. Too dear for me.

And the best time to take it is before bed

“Why not just eat a little chocolate with over 70% cocoa everyday?”

I do that with 92% cocoa.

Can you get this by drinking cocoa made from cocoa powder?

[ConservativeMind]

You need 4.5 tablespoons of Ghirardelli Chocolate Premium Baking Cocoa — 100% Cocoa to get 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, according to Consumer Lab.

That amount also won't push you above cadmium levels set in California.

Other chocolate powders need fairly more servings and come with a lot more cadmium.

Wow. I drink 1 Tblsp of cocoa every day. Now I’m not sure if it is good or bad. Need to do some research.
