Does ACTICOA chocolate taste different?
The flavor of ACTICOA chocolate is authentic and identical to the indulgent, rich and varied flavors we all love in traditional, regular chocolate. This is because ACTICOA chocolate is not made with any other additional nutrient not naturally present in chocolate. In order to satisfy the taste preferences of consumers, ACTICOA chocolate is available in dark and milk varieties.
Is there a maximum intake? Is there any danger of taking in too much ACTICOA chocolate?
There is no restriction in the intake of natural cocoa flavanols; clinical studies have shown that naturally present flavanol excesses are excreted by the human body in an entirely natural way. However, as any chocolate, ACTICOA chocolate should be consumed as part of a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle.
Where does the name ACTICOA come from?
We coined the word ACTICOA to emphasize the fact that the most active natural components in the cocoa bean are preserved with our special, gentle chocolate making process.
Are there any products equivalent to ACTICOA chocolate?
While there are many fruits, vegetables, nuts and some prepared foods and drinks that contain antioxidants, none can equal the cocoa bean for the amount and type of flavanols, natural antioxidants present.
How long do you have to take ACTICOA before it starts to work?
Research indicates that two hours after the consumption of ACTICOA chocolate our body starts to absorb the cocoa flavanols. The intake of the cocoa flavanols helps to restore the balance between free radicals and antioxidants. ACTICOA chocolate may be consumed daily in order to achieve long-term health benefits as part of a varied and balanced diet and healthy lifestyle..
Has milk an influence on the bioavailability of the cocoa flavanols in our human body ?
The combination of milk with cocoa has no effect on the bioavailability of cocoa flavanols and their effect inside the body. In a bioavailability study, the blood flavanol concentration of people having consumed a milk chocolate drink were compared with that of people having consumed a milk-free chocolate drink. Both drinks contained the same amount of cocoa flavanols. The results were very clear: no difference were detected in blood cocoa flavanol concentration between the two groups.
