What is Theobromine?

Theobromine is a bitter alkaloid belonging to the methylxanthine class, the same family as caffei and theophylline. Its chemical name is 3,7-dimethylxanthine.

It is most famously found in the cacao bean (from which chocolate is made) and, consequently, in all cocoa and chocolate products. The name comes from the genus of the cacao tree, Theobroma, which means "food of the gods" in Greek.

Theobromine is the primary methylxanthine in chocolate, responsible for many of its subtle physiological effects—like mild mood elevation, vasodilation, and diuresis. It's the reason chocolate is mildly stimulating yet rarely causes the jitters associated with coffee. While a delightful and mostly benign compound for humans, its toxicity to pets is its most critical safety consideration.
