Chocamine from RFI Ingredients is the only patented and self-affirmed GRAS cocoa-based ingredient for cognitive function, mood, and energy. The company says that it delivers not only the powerful sensory benefits of chocolate, such as aroma, flavor, and texture, but it also increases energy, improves focus, enhances mood, and satisfies cravings. Chocamine can be used in many applications, from beverages, bars, and confections to dietary supplements and powdered drinks. At SupplySide West, the company will showcase Chocamine’s unique non-caffeinated energy boost in a great-tasting chocolate milk beverage.
