chocolate as nootropic? Nootropics Depot's Chocamine product?

I have tried a variety of dark chocolates but prefer the darker % wise; 70-100%. I have tried unsweet 100% chocolate, no other ingredient but chocolate liquor.
People here have talked about caffeine as nootropic; chocolate has it too so I'm here to talk about it. The neurotransmitter "Anandamide" is said to be found in/isolated from chocolates but just couldn't be put in "form" for it to cross the blood brain barrier for it to be effective (from what I understand).
One person from another forum have said that a mix of chocolate, fish oil, and arachidonic acid (from peanuts) can produce that "joy or bliss" associated with Anandamide, but who's to know what the true effect of Anandamide really is when it isn't yet produced in such a form AFAIK. Could Anandamide based drugs replace the ineffective SSRIs?
Who has tried Chocamine? I'd like to read some reviews of it.

I've read that raw chocolate has toxins (which are eliminated through the roasting process) and is quite unhealthy if eaten daily. Do you know if the extract took the unhealthy elements of raw chocolate into account and was able to eliminate them?

Are you talking about the mycotoxins that Dave Asprey constantly talks about? The Chocamine extract is tested for mycotoxins. So you don't have to worry about that. Mycotoxins are from improperly stored coffee beans, which grow mold.
