GNOSIS OVERVIEW

Made with respect for the origins of cacao, the well-being of our society, and Earth's natural majesty, Gnosis products celebrate health and integrity.  To ethically sourced cacao, we add low glycemic sweeteners and high nutrition superfoods - resulting in an exquisite balance of flavor and function.  Elegantly packaged with only the most sustainable of materials, Gnosis is an indulgence to delight both palate and conscience.

Gnosis was founded by Vanessa Barg, a Board Certified Holistic Health Counselor.  Vanessa began making chocolate to help her clients towards a healthy, satisfying diet they could truly enjoy.  Her background in nutrition and the culinary arts motivated her creation of recipes with superfoods and medicinal herbs from around the globe.  Vanessa works directly with farmers and cooperatives at origin to develop organic agriculture initiatives and fair labor practices.

LOVE-IGNITING CHOCOLATE!

The ways in which cacao inspires Love are countless. Magnesium relaxes smooth muscle tissue and aids the heart. Arginine plays an important role in cell division, and release of hormones. Phenylethylamine (PEA) is a Love Chemical produced when we fall in Love and during the Big O.  Anandamide is a cannabinoid neurotransmitter and is known an "the bliss chemical". Tryptophan eases anxiety. Theobromine stimulates the cardiovascular system and is a vasodialator to help the delivery of all phenomenal nutrients and medicinal herbs.
You'll find all these ingredients in Gnosis’ Passion Collection; the blessed, chocolatey universe where Love in all its forms exist in harmonious balance, providing sweets for all the world’s sweethearts.  

Passion (Aphrodisia) Chocolate Bars

Gnosis created the Passion Bar to model, in chocolate, how all Love may be deliciously embraced.  Aphrodisiacs are not just about sex and libido - they are about empowering passion, awakening compassion, strengthening your sense of connection with people and your own life's path.  Your openness and kindness is reflected in Passion’s sweet flavor, touched by tart raspberries, caramelly palm nectar, and heart-opening cacao.  Here are how this special bar’s medicinal herbs and superfoods work together to stir your passion and energy:  

Horny Goat Weed - prescribed by healers to restore passion, boost erectile function, alleviate fatigue, and soothe menopausal discomfort; addresses disorders of the liver, joints, and kidneys

Maca - builds stamina, energy, and sexual potency; reportedly taken by Incan warriors in battle to increase their strength and endurance

Dong Quai - used in China, Korea, and Japan for over a thousand years as a spice, tonic, and medicine to help with women’s reproductive problems (cramps, irregular menstrual cycles, PMS, menopausal symptoms)

Fo Ti - a longevity tonic, used to promote hair growth, restore pigment to greying hair, combat premature aging, weakness, vaginal discharge, and erectile dysfunction. Additionally, fo-ti is reputed to restore energy and strength and act as a beneficial digestive aid.
