Benefits of Chocolate
What are the Health Benefits of Our Favorite Superfood - Dark Chocolate?
- 1. Great For Your Heart
-
Naturally occurring antioxidants in our chocolate, called flavonoids, produce nitric oxide, relaxing your arteries and improving the blood flow to your heart. Decreasing your blood pressure and the risk of a heart attack and stroke.
- 2. Helps with Brain Fog
-
The increased blood flow in the heart also applies to the brain. Chocolate supports the blood vessels to open, and allowing nutrient-rich blood to reach the brain. Helping to keep you mentally alert and on your game.
- 3. Makes You Mellow
-
Chocolate lessens the level of cortisol, the stress hormone in your body. Which is why people crave chocolate on a hard day.
- 4. Boosts Your Glowing Skin
-
Our chocolate's antioxidants help protect skin from UV damage and the bioactive compounds increase blood flow and hydration.
- 5. Yes, It's Nutritious.

Dark chocolate contains soluble fiber and minerals, including magnesium, potassium, selenium, and iron. Studies prove that eating dark chocolate twice a week results in a lower BMI (body mass index).
