What goes into the blend?
Three ingredient groups in a single serving — theobromine energy, polyphenols, and prebiotic fibre.
Theobromine vs caffeine — a difference you'll feel
Like coffee, cacao gives you a lift. But while caffeine brings a sharp spike followed by a rapid drop, theobromine works gently and sustainably — no jitters, no crash.
Polyphenols — how much you actually get in one serving
Polyphenols are the plant compounds cacao is known for. What matters is the serving, not a percentage in a table. One 10 g serving of Upgraded High Energy Cacao gives you 648 mg of polyphenols, including 169 mg of flavanols and 79 mg of epicatechin.1–2
Values in mg of polyphenols per serving. Cocoa, wine and tea: Lee KW et al., J Agric Food Chem 2003;51:7292–7295 (gallic acid equivalents). The figure for Upgraded High Energy Cacao comes from raw-material analysis — the analytical methods differ, so the chart is an indicative comparison.

The science behind the Upgraded line
I created the Powerlogy Upgraded premium line for the most discerning customers, who demand the highest quality and efficacy. Upgraded products are enhanced with innovative ingredients such as MCT oil, prebiotic fibre, adaptogens and bioactive compounds.
I develop the formulas based on the latest scientific findings. I combine the effects of various ingredients to provide energy and support an active, demanding lifestyle. I consult on the functional benefits with the scientific advisory board that we work closely with at Powerlogy.
I recommend Upgraded products as the solution for people who want a reliable source of energy and nutrition every day.

Frequently asked questions
Both are natural stimulants, but they work differently. Caffeine acts quickly and briefly (peak at 1 hour, crash after 4–5 hours). Theobromine kicks in slowly, peaks at 3–4 hours, and its effects last 6–8 hours — with no jitteriness and no energy crash.
Chuncho is a rare Peruvian cacao variety from the Cusco region, prized for its full, gently fruity flavour. Non-alkalised processing preserves the polyphenols — one 10 g serving contains 648 mg of them, including 169 mg of flavanols and 79 mg of epicatechin.
Yes. It pairs perfectly with C8 MCT oil (energy + better absorption), collagen in a morning shake, or Powerlogy protein in a smoothie. Theobromine does not interfere with the effects of other ingredients.
It depends on individual sensitivity to theobromine. It is milder than caffeine, but in more sensitive individuals it may affect sleep. The ideal time to consume it is in the morning or early afternoon. For the classic "hot chocolate before bed," we recommend using half a serving.
Once opened, consume within 6 months. Store in a dry, dark place — moisture may cause clumping (this is not a defect).
