So what are the benefits of coca wine? To put it bluntly, traditionally, coca leaf wine was a semi-dry Bordeaux red wine with low alcohol content. It was infused with just the right dose of coca leaf extract and other exotic spices. Prepared this way, coca wine acts as an invigorating tonic that energizes the mind, and yet, relaxes the body. It’s pleasant to taste and produces a pleasant, euphoric feeling.
Coca Leaf Extract
Furthermore, the actual coca leaf extract in coca wine binds together it’s active elements and health benefits. Coca leaf extract is packed with vitamins, minerals, amino acids and natural alkaloids. These minerals include phosphorus, calcium, and iron, as well as vitamin A and vitamin B complex. The produced coca wine is also tannin-rich, packed with flavonoids, methyl salicylate (winter green oil) and lots of other amino acids which are all beneficial to our health.
Here are just some of the benefits of Coca Wine:
– It’s a natural energy-boosting tonic
– Stops tiredness and relieves stress
– Boosts well-being and improves the mood
– Strengthens the heart and boosts circulation
– It aids weight-loss and helps to burn fat
– Tastes pleasantly nice and refreshing
As you can see, there are many benefits of coca wine.
Amounts of Coca Alkaloids
If you want to know how much alkaloids are present in the traditional coca wine then you will be surprised to know that its levels are slightly higher than those found in average coca tea. However, when wine is combined with the coca leaf extract, the end product creates a synergy of unique taste and fascinating results. As witnessed in Peru and Bolivia, when coca leaves are consumed several times a week as coca teas or the traditional coca chewing, there is no addiction or other side effects.
When used and drunk in small portions and treated as medicine, coca leaf wine will boost our health and invigorate the mind and body. The combination of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and alkaloids found naturally in coca leaves and wine will strengthen our health further.
To get the full benefits of coca wine, it’s been recommended to drink one or two small-sized glasses a day. This can be served before of after a meal. It’s been noted as a great appetizer and would go down really well in formal gatherings, meetings and other social functions. Similar to coffee and cognac, coca wine is great for relieving stress, stopping fatigue and boosting energy. Many people experience mild euphoria after drinking coca wine.
Coca wine is safe to consume in small amounts (as like with all other wines and liquors) for adults and the elderly.
Here at Coca Tea Express, we are looking at starting to produce a limited amount of coca wine (Vin Mariani) in United States and Australia.
These coca wines would only be available locally for the time being. We are looking at eventually offering coca leaf wine as a global product along the rest of our coca tea powders, tea bags and extracts.
To your health and success,
