  • Why we love Cacao + Collagen - a tasty way to help stop you getting hungry on an intermittent fasting plan. I find my blood sugar is more balanced and I eat better for the rest of the day after Cacao + Collagen and my weight is stable

    Victoria Woodhall Editor of Get the Gloss
  • There is something so decadent and indulgent about Ancient + Brave's Cacao + Collagen, but it’s much more than a sumptuous treat. I find that some other brands of collagen drinks can taste strange but this is completely pure, odourless and tasteless so the taste is all about the chocolate flavour. Chocolate that is good for? Yes, yes, yes

Ingredients explained

Raw Cacao Raw Cacao

Raw cacao is made from unprocessed and unroasted cacao powder.

Raw cacao not only offers a smooth chocolate flavour but is also rich in antioxidants, particularly flavonoids, which may help combat oxidative stress and nourish the skin. It contains essential minerals such as magnesium, promoting heart health and supporting mood. Additionally, raw cacao is a good source of healthy fats and fibre, supporting digestive health.

Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides

Sustainably sourced from grass-fed herds in the EU.

Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and acts like a structural scaffold, maintaining strength, suppleness and health

Collagen is a vital component of our connective tissues. It is also found throughout other areas of the body - skin, ligaments, bones, tendons, joints, cartilage, gut lining, blood vessels and even our hair, nails and teeth.

Our hydrolysed collagen peptides are a specific size (under 5000DAs) for maximum absorption and bioavailability.

Beetroot Beetroot

Vibrant deep pink and packed with earthy flavors, beetroot has long been one of our favorite ingredients. It’s rich in nutrients like folate, vitamin C, manganese, potassium, and fiber, plus powerful plant compounds such as betanin, an antioxidant.

Beetroot also contains inorganic nitrates, which may help support healthy blood pressure by converting to nitric oxide.

Our organic beetroot powder adds a rich, velvety depth, enhancing both its flavour and nutrient profile.

Cinnamon Cinnamon

Cinnamon, a cherished culinary spice and Ayurvedic remedy for centuries, is known for its ability to support healthy blood sugar balance. Its natural sweetness helps reduce the need for added sugars, while its warm, comforting flavour and aroma make it a beloved ingredient.

Cinnamon is also rich in antioxidants and has anti-inflammatory properties, potentially benefiting heart health and brain function. We've added our organic cinnamon to Cacao + Collagen to enhance both flavour and health benefits.

Ashwagandha Ashwagandha

Ashwagandha is a potent botanical herb, used for thousands of years in traditional Ayurvedic medicine, due to its well known ability to help the body adapt to stress. As a renowned adaptogen, it is valued for its unique compounds, particularly withanolides, which are thought to drive its diverse range of benefits. This includes grounding the mind and body, helping to regulate stress hormones and enhancing immune resilience.

Baobab Baobab

Native to Africa, Baobab is a remarkable fruit that naturally dehydrates on the branch, preserving its nutrients without the need for heat or pasteurisation. As a result, baobab powder is exceptionally nutrient-dense, often boasting three times more vitamin C than an orange and nearly 50% fibre.

Our organic baobab has a subtle, sweet-tangy flavour and adds a creamy texture to our Cacao + Collagen.

Pink Himalayan Salt Pink Himalayan Salt

Protected by snow and ice, Himalayan pink salt remains untouched by modern pollution, making it one of the purest salts on Earth. More than just sodium, it contains essential electrolyte minerals like calcium, magnesium, and potassium, along with an impressive array of trace minerals.

A pinch of this pristine pink salt enhances both the flavour and nutritional value, delivering a subtle yet impactful touch.

A closer look

  • Cacao's ancient history

    Cacao, the seed of Theobroma cacao or 'Food of the Gods' originates from the Amazon and was cultivated by the Aztecs and Mayans. Historically, it was consumed as a bitter drink and used in spiritual ceremonies, celebrated for its unique, almost mystical qualities.

  • Ashwagandha - stress support

    Ashwagandha’s benefits extend well beyond stress resilience. Known for enhancing stamina and endurance by supporting heart and lung capacity, it also aids in energy and blood sugar balance. Additionally, Ashwagandha contains active compounds that are being studied for their potential to support brain health, making it a versatile herb for overall vitality.

  • Mineral rich botanicals

    Together, ingredients Raw Cacao, Cocoa, Beetroot, Cinnamon, Carob and Baobab provide a spectrum of essential minerals such as magnesium, iron and potassium which are beneficial for various bodily functions including energy production, bone health, muscle function and immune support.

  • Benefits of beetroot

    This earthy powerhouse is rich in inorganic nitrates, which convert to nitric oxide, promoting blood vessel dilation and smoother circulation to support overall cardiovascular health. This benefit may be especially valuable post-menopause, as reduced oestrogen lowers nitric oxide levels, increasing heart disease risk.

  • Mindful 'me' time

    With grounding ingredients and a rich, chocolatey aroma, this nourishing brew invites you to pause for a mindful moment. Taking the time to step away, breathe and savour your drink helps to calm the mind and body, creating a ripple effect of balance and positivity throughout your day.

FAQs

HOW DOES CACAO + COLLAGEN SUPPORT FASTING?

Some people find that the last few hours of their fasting window, which is typically the first few hours of their day, tend to be the most challenging. This is where Cacao + Collagen comes in as it contains a natural source of caffeine to help kick start your morning, and hydrolysed collagen peptides (units of protein) for nutritional sustenance to help you extend your fast to the finish line. It contains botanical adaptogens which help build stress resilience offering up support during busy and demanding mornings. Adding a teaspoon of True MCT oil to Cacao + Collagen provides a source of fat that helps you feel fuller for longer and which cells can readily convert into energy and ketones.

What are the benefits of adding True MCT oil to my cacao + collagen’?

By blending True MCT into either of our blends you add another layer of fuel to your day. You gain all the nourishing benefits of the hydrolysed collagen with the additional boost of fuel from the MCT.

IS THE CACAO + COLLAGEN SAFE FOR KIDS?

Cacao naturally contains caffeine, so this is the first thing to consider when asking if the products are suitable for children. There is very little advice or official guidelines in the UK for the age at which it’s appropriate for children to start to drink caffeine, this tends to be down to the parent to decide. However, many children are very familiar with the natural levels of caffeine found in cacao from hot chocolate. Collagen is an important structural component of bones, connective tissue and skin required by the body during times of rapid growth and development. These products do also contain adaptogens which may not be suited to children of young ages. 

When is the best time of day to enjoy Cacao + Collagen?

This beautiful blend can be enjoyed any time of your day. However, we believe it is the perfect addition to your rest ritual. Due to the calming benefits of ashwagandha, we recommend taking a mindful moment to enjoy a warming cup of Cacao + Collagen before bed, to help you drift off into a restful night sleep.
