Ergo-Log Excerpt: How cacao helps heart and blood vessels function better
More endurance athletes than you'd think use phenol-rich cacao as an effective performance enhancer. A Japanese animal study, published recently in PLoS One, shows how cacao works. The flavan-3-ols in cacao boost the activity of nitrogen monoxide or NO in the blood vessels, and as a result improve the blood's ability to transport oxygen and nutrients to the muscles. The ergogenic effect of cacao probably reaches its maximum 1-2 hours after intake.

St Johns Wort Excerpt from Ergo-Log: Overweight and depressed? Hypericum perforatum kills two birds with one stone
Excerpt from Ergo-Log
Overweight and depressed? Hypericum perforatum kills two birds with one stone
You are probably familiar with Hypericum perforatum as a herb that has a mild antidepressant effect, but according to researchers at Banaras Hindu University in India it has other potential uses too. When the Indians gave lab animals an extract of the herb they discovered that it also had a slimming effect.
The human equivalent of these doses would be about 1200-2400 mg extract per day.
Conclusion
"Taken together, Hypericum perforatum could be the antidepressant therapy of choice for patients suffering from comorbid diabetes and obesity", the researchers concluded.
