Scientific proof
Accumulating evidence from the past 10 years demonstrates that moderate consumption of flavanol-rich dark chocolate or cocoa-related products may play an important role in supporting our health and well-being.
Clinical studies
Since 2003, more than 50 human clinical studies have been performed using cocoa or chocolate and new publications are still appearing every day. Many of these human trials have been performed at renowned universities or institutes and are well designed and of high quality. The positive results of these multiple independent studies has been confirmed through systematic reviews and meta-analyses.
Strong scientific basis
During the last couple of years the continuing efforts of Barry
Callebaut’s innovative scientific policy have been reflected in the
worldwide network of independent expert scientists. Together with
these experts more than 25 human dietary clinical
studies examining the beneficial impact of the ACTICOA
product range on health have been set up.
The results of Barry Callebaut’s own studies, together with the
published documentation, brings further evidence and provide the
scientific basis for messages and claims regarding our ACTICOA
products, for its heart health effect, advantages in
cognitive performance and skin health benefits.
