energy drink with cacao grounds Bean
Over the years, I have developed a healthy degree of skepticism regarding the advertising claims of numerous vitamin and nutrition companies in marketing their multifarious supplements and nutraceuticals. Personal research into the bioavailability of active ingredients, processing standards, and the overall purity of the products sold by such companies has often left me frustrated due to half-truths and in some cases—complete misrepresentations—of what a supplement actually contains and what it can potentially offer a genuine seeker of improved health and longevity. For some companies, profit trumps dedication to quality and integrity of statement, and regrettably, the consumer winds up wasting his or her hard-earned money on a sub-standard product.
Familiar with the health benefits of resveratrol and having taken different resveratrol supplements in pill form, I can attest to the clear and obvious difference between supplemental resveratrol and ChocoNat’s Boost. Boost is an all-natural cocoa powder that is not subjected to the traditional storage and processing practices that standard chocolate companies use to treat their cocoa beans, which results in a substantially higher polyphenol content. Within one week of taking Boost, my energy level increased along with an increase in mental clarity and cognition. The antioxidant properties of Boost are significant, providing consumers with an effective buffer against oxidative stress, increased neuroprotection, and cardiovascular, antidiabetic, immunologic, and anti-aging benefits. One of the nicest things about Boost is that it can easily be added to any beverage—coffee drinkers can add some to their favorite morning brew for an instant mocha. If there is a better excuse for consuming chocolate on a regular basis, I sure would like to know about it.
