About the product.
What's in it, why the dose matters, where it's made.
01 What is Harmony MD Cacao Cellular Complex?
A physician-formulated cacao powder delivering 1,200 mg of cacao flavanols and 600 mg of standardized (–)-epicatechin per scoop. It's the exact studied dose from the landmark COSMOS trial published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition (2022).
02 What is CCV-3® and why does it matter?
CCV-3® is our internal quality standard. Every batch is made to deliver exactly 1,200 mg of cacao flavanols with 600 mg of standardized epicatechin — the specific dose and compound the COSMOS researchers measured. Most shelf cacao products deliver 80–150 mg. We're built around the dose the trial actually used.
03 What's actually in the jar?
Five whole-food ingredients. Premium cacaoian natural cacao powder, cold-pressed cacao butter, vanilla bean vanilla bean, lucuma powder, and untreated mineral pink salt. No fillers, no proprietary blends, no artificial sweeteners, no preservatives. The label is the recipe.
04 Is it allergen-free?
The formula is vegan, non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, and contains no artificial sweeteners, fillers, or preservatives. Disclosure: manufactured in a facility that also processes tree nuts, milk, and soy.
05 Where is it made and how is it tested?
Every batch is made to the CCV-3® standard — 1,200 mg of cacao flavanols and 600 mg of standardized epicatechin — what's printed on the jar is exactly what's inside.
06 Does it have caffeine?
Each scoop contains approximately 12 mg of naturally occurring caffeine — about a quarter of what's in a standard cup of coffee. Caffeine is present in cacao itself and cannot be removed without destroying the heat-sensitive flavanols the formula is built around.
About results.
What to expect on day 1, day 30, and over years of consistent use.
01 How long until I notice subjective results?
Most users report steadier energy, sharper focus, and warmer circulation within 7 to 14 days of consistent daily use. The subjective lift typically arrives before any measurable cardiovascular change — that's normal and expected with cacao flavanols.
02 What can I expect the very first day?
Cacao flavanols increase plasma nitric oxide markers within 60 to 120 minutes of ingestion (Schroeter et al. PNAS 2006). Some people notice a warm, calm clarity in that window; others feel nothing acutely and only notice the cumulative steady-state after a week. Both patterns are normal — keep taking it daily.
03 What's the long-term cardiovascular outcome you're built around?
The COSMOS trial randomized 21,442 adults to daily cacao flavanols for 3.6 years and reported a 27% reduction in cardiovascular death as a pre-specified secondary endpoint (Sesso et al. Am J Clin Nutr 2022). That outcome is cumulative — it's the result of years of consistent daily intake, not a one-time effect.
04 Can I take Harmony with my medications?
Consult your physician before adding any supplement to your regimen, particularly if you take blood thinners, statins, or blood pressure medication. The COSMOS trial included participants on a wide range of cardiovascular medications with no adverse interactions reported, but your individual situation deserves a real conversation with your doctor.
