This product uses the high-quality, standardized cocoa bean extract CocoActiv™, which has also been used in several scientific studies.\u003cbr\u003e\r \u003cbr\u003eMany 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The Cacaoflavanols-HF product offers a way to get the valuable components of cocoa, without the disadvantages of sugar, saturated fat and unnecessary calories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cocoa: food of the gods\u003cbr\u003e 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.\"\r \u003cbr\u003eAlthough cocoa is best known today as an ingredient in chocolate, the cocoa bean itself is a natural source of various bioactive plant compounds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Flavanols: plant substances from cocoa\u003cbr\u003e 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e CocoActiv™: high-quality cocoa bean extract\r \u003cbr\u003eCocoActiv™ 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood circulation*.\u003cbr\u003e *the beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of flavanols from cocoa.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eCompound\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComposition per capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCocoa bean extract* (CocoActiv™)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 667 mg \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eOf which cocoa flavanols\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 200 mg \u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" cellpadding=\"1\" cellspacing=\"1\"\u003e\n\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eComposition per 2 capsules\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003eCocoa bean extract* (CocoActiv™)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 1334 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e Of which cocoa flavanols\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\u003ctd\u003e 400 mg\u003c\/td\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e * Naturally contains up to 10 mg caffeine per capsule.\u003cbr\u003e\n CocoActiv™ is a trademark of Givaudan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eIngredients\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Cocoa bean extract (Theobroma cacao, seeds), vegetable capsule (pullulan, from fermented starch), rice starch (Oryza sativa), anti-caking agent (magnesium salts of fatty acids).\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eUsage\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Take 1-2 capsules daily with water during a meal.
