* ORAC - Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity is a method of measuring antioxidant capacities in
biological samples. An antioxidant is a food that helps neutralize the harmful effect of chemicals that take the place of oxygen in the body chemistry. It is believed that foods that are high in ORAC value play an important positive role in preventing pre-mature aging.

Flavanol-rich chocolate supports heart health by helping to maintain optimal blood flow. It is beneficial for vascular function as it helps increase nitric oxide bioavailability and decrease oxidative stress.2 Our Healthy Chocolates are high in flavanols and purity, made with 70% organic cocoa.
Another study concluded that regular intake of flavanols, including those found in cocoa, contribute to endothelial blood flow by supporting a healthy population of circulating angiogenic cells (CACs).3
Glucose Management
We offer the only chocolate manufactured with Xylitol. It is completely sugar-free and all-natural. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol with a chemical composition that is very close to glucose. It does not load the liver, like other sugar alcohols. It also helps retard tooth decay (which is why you see it used in some of the popular sugarless chewing gums).
Xylitol is able to penetrate the cell membrane without the use of insulin. It does not increase blood sugar levels, but is converted to glucose within the cells and used as energy. Because of this action, it can be consumed by people with insulin resistant disorders such as diabetes, metabolic disorder and hypo-glycemic individuals.
Healthy Chocolate has a patent pending for its unique process of making chocolate with Xylitol.
