Frequently asked questions

From what age can this cocoa be given?

This cocoa comes from the Aura Care KIDS line, intended for children. Check the age limit on the packaging, and discuss the first administration with a pediatrician, especially if the child is taking medications or other supplements. The pediatrician will also help determine the serving from the range of 6 g to 12 g of powder, as the amount of lion’s mane extract increases with the serving.

How many servings are in the package?

The manufacturer states 30 servings in a 180 g package, which corresponds to a serving of 6 g of powder. If you prepare a drink with 12 g of powder, there will be half as many servings. Regardless of the chosen serving, serve one daily and tightly close the package after each use to prevent the powder from absorbing moisture.

What sweetens this cocoa?

The sweetness comes from xylitol, listed in the ingredients as a sweetening substance, and the manufacturer labels the cocoa as no added sugar. The ingredient list has three items: cocoa, xylitol, and lion’s mane extract. Xylitol consumed in excess can have a laxative effect, so stick to one serving daily and do not combine it with other sweets containing xylitol.

What should the drink be prepared with?

You dissolve the serving in 150-200 ml of warm milk, water, or a plant drink. If you are on a dairy-free diet, choose water or a plant drink, as the powder itself consists of cocoa, xylitol, and mushroom extract. Does the child have a food allergy? You can confirm the full declaration of allergens on the packaging before the first administration.
