Vitals Cacaoflavanols hf
Vitals Cocoa Flavanols-HF contains a high dose of cocoa flavanols. This product uses the high-quality, standardized cocoa bean extract CocoActiv™, which has also been used in several scientific studies.
Many people love chocolate for its flavor. Dark chocolate is also associated with health benefits, but the nutritional composition varies greatly from product to product. In many chocolate products, the cocoa content is relatively low, and the majority consists of sugar and fat. As a result, the phytonutrients from cocoa constitute a negligible part of the product, overshadowed by the unhealthy ingredients.
The Cacaoflavanols-HF product offers a way to get the valuable components of cocoa, without the disadvantages of sugar, saturated fat and unnecessary calories.
Cocoa: food of the gods
The cacao tree (Theobroma cacao) originated in Central and South America and was highly prized by the Mayans and Aztecs. The name Theobroma literally means "food of the gods."
Although cocoa is best known today as an ingredient in chocolate, the cocoa bean itself is a natural source of various bioactive plant compounds.
Flavanols: plant substances from cocoa
Flavanols belong to the polyphenol family: plant compounds that occur naturally in cocoa and are responsible for its characteristic bitter taste. The flavanol content of cocoa varies greatly depending on its origin and processing. During fermentation, roasting, and further processing, a large portion of these delicate plant compounds is lost. Therefore, in practice, cocoa and chocolate products often contain varying and relatively low amounts of flavanols. To obtain the same amount of these bioactive polyphenols as in a single capsule of Cocoa Flavanols-HF would require an excessive amount of dark chocolate.
CocoActiv™: high-quality cocoa bean extract
CocoActiv™ is a carefully produced cocoa bean extract. It uses cocoa beans that have not been fermented or roasted. This is a deliberate choice because these common processing methods reduce the natural content of bioactive polyphenols in cocoa. The fat fraction is then largely removed, and the flavanols are concentrated through a patented extraction process. This results in an extract rich in cocoa flavanols, while preserving their natural profile. The cocoa bean extract is standardized, meaning it contains a reproducible amount of flavanols per serving.
Cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood circulation*.
*the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of flavanols from cocoa.
