Is Chocamine more potent than normal cacao powder?

Planning to do a cannabinoid altering experiment on myself soon.
I have in my cart Palmitoylethanolamide, Oleamide, Pterostilbene for the FAAH inhibiting effect.
Now I'm just wondering if Chocamine is a better of anandamide and FAAH inhibitors compare to raw cacao powder?
Any anecdote is appreciated!

Jesus has come for us.
I appreciated the info, though, how would vouch for Chocamine in comparison to, for instance, a high quality cacao product? What I'm looking for in Chocamine is not Theobromine but Anandamide or similar components that can impact the endo-cannabinoid system, would you still recommend Chocamine for that purpose?
Thank you!

That's a tougher answer, as I am not sure we have tested the anandamide content of Chocamine. We do have a new piece of equipment on our GC in the lab that should allow us to, though. I can speak to my lab director about it. Chocamine is does a very good job of keeping all the compounds in cacao intact, though. So it probably would be good. It just also has a lot of theobromine.
If you are interested in FAAH inhibition specifically, I would suggest taking our Rephyll with our Ginkgo. Both the β-caryophyllene in the Rephyll and the kaempferol in the Ginkgo are going to inhibit FAAH well.

Taking Rephyll, our Ginkgo, Palmitoylethanolamide, and Oleamide together will give you the effects you are looking for. Adding in 1,000mg of Chocamine should round that out.
