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!

Do you have any insight on Navitas cacao nibs/powder? What do you make of their response to the question of heavy metals in their products?

I've never heard of them, so it is hard to say. Their response seems okay. The 0.49mcg/g of cadmium might be an issue, depending on how much you consume. The MADL for cadmium is 4.1mcg per day. So that means you can only consume 8.36 grams of their nibs to be under the MADL. I looked at their label, and they are suggesting a serving size of 30 grams, though... This means you are consuming 14.7mcg of cadmium per dose. That's 3.58X times the MADL.
