Dark Chocolate Health Benefits

Does adrenaline cause or lower stress?

I am doing a paper on dark chocolate, it’s health benefits and how it contains the three amino acids, which two of them contain adrenaline and dopamine. In an article I have read adrenaline is a “stress hormone” so I was wondering if it causes stress then the dopamine reduces the stress, or if it is similar to the dopamine.

Noradrenaline is synthesized (made from) dopamine. Noradrenaline is a stress hormone, it initiates the fight or flight response, while dopamine is the pleasure neurotransmitter.
