Why is cocoa a stimulant?

Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid found in cocoa and chocolate. Theobromine is considered to have a similar influence on the human nervous system as caffeine, but the stimulant level is drastically lower than that of caffeine. Theobromine acts as a diuretic. It is a stimulant that helps open up blood vessels.

What is the side effect of cocoa?

Eating large amounts might cause caffeine-related side effects such as nervousness, increased urination, sleeplessness, and a fast heartbeat. Cocoa can cause allergic skin reactions, constipation, and might trigger migraine headaches.

Does cocoa powder give you energy?
