[QUOTE="DragonBits, post: 221045, member: 18023"] Yes, Cacao has 12 mg of caffeine per tablespoon. But I failed to mention, I always put a teaspoon of this along with protein powder in my morning coffee, and I don't drink any after ~12 noon. Also, Cacao has 10 times more Theobromine than caffeine, there are studies on theobromine which indicates it stimulates serotonin and melatonin. I use the cacao powder mainly to help raise HDL, which even before TRT was ~40. TRT didn't drop my HDL, but it certainly didn't help. I am pretty tolerant of caffeine, I can drink a cup of this at 5:AM and go right back to sleep. What I really would like to control is my nocturia, I get up to pee 3-4 times a night. It'seems difficult to raise Antidiuretic hormone (ADH), also called arginine vasopressin (AVP), which controls nighttime urine production. I did try and limit all fluids after 7PM, which lead to being dehydrated. This is not BPH, as when I do get up, I have a normal fairly large quantity of urine, not just a dribble. ADH normally has a circadian rhythm, raising at night to suppress urine production. [/QUOTE]
