Xocai™ Nutritional Chocolate Power Squares

Few natural food products on the market today contain nearly the antioxidant levels of delicious new Xocai™ Nutritional Chocolate!

This amazing new product combines raw, unprocessed cocoa from the Ivory Coast in Africa with the Acai berry from the Amazon Rain Forest, two of the highest-rated antioxidant food sources in the world!

Adding Xocai™ top-quality unprocessed natural cacao to your daily diet can help prevent the "Big Four": Stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes.

Consume three squares daily for best results. Three delicious little squares contain an amazing 10,746 ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) and 2,250 units of flavonoids. That's an unparalleled ORAC Value of 3,582 per 6g Square.

It's not just a tasty snack to cure a sweet tooth like a typical candy; it is a serious health product that optimizes your nutritional benefits based on recommended ORAC intake quantities. The manufacturing process is very tightly controlled, and every product must pass strict quality control.

This amazing delicious chocolate has been credited with relieving arthritis pain and inflammation, reducing blood sugar levels and helping people lose weight. These nutritional chocolates are also considered a heart healthy food.

Word Definitions

What is ORAC?

Scientists use Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity (ORAC) to study the value of food to determine which are the highest in antioxidants. If a product has a high ORAC value, it has the ability to neutralize many dangerous cell-damaging free radicals.

The USDA recommends a minimum intake of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC units per day. Xocai™ chocolates contain far more than the minimum USDA recommended intake, containing an average 9,000 to 11,000 ORAC units per daily serving, as certified by Brunswick Lab, an independent third party national testing laboratory.

What Are Antioxidants?

These nutrients help to improve the body's oxygen radical absorption capacity (ORAC) and are believed to combat oxidative stress. Oxidative stress is a process associated with some neurodegenerative and cardiovascular diseases. Studies also suggest that antioxidants help the body fight cancer.

An antioxidant is a molecule capable of slowing or preventing the oxidation of other molecules. Oxidation reactions can produce harmful free radicals, all around us in our environment, which start chain reactions that damage cells. Antioxidants terminate these chain reactions by removing free radical intermediates, and inhibit other oxidation reactions by being oxidized themselves.

Antioxidants are needed to remove the toxins from our bodies, but our bodies don't make antioxidants, so we must find foods that are high in antioxidant levels to stay healthy.

We can obtain the power of antioxidants by adding products made from unprocessed cacao to our daily diets. It is true that antioxidants can also be found in fruits and vegetables, but the body needs to capture as many different types of catechins as possible, such as those found in Xocai's™ amazing healthy chocolate.

What Is Catechin and Epicatechin?

Catechin is an antioxidant that helps protect the skin from UV radiation-induced damage and tumor formation, is a histamine decarboxylase inhibitor, and reduces atherosclerotic plaques. The health benefits of catechins have been studied extensively in humans and in animal models.

Many studies on health benefits have been linked to the catechin content. According to Norman Hollenberg, professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, epicatechin can reduce the risk of four of the major health problems: stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabetes. He believes that epicatechin should be considered essential to the diet and thus classed as a vitamin!

The XocaiPower Squares contain cacao that is blanched, unfermented, sun-dried, non-roasted and cold-pressed, which means it boasts eight times the levels of epicatechins and catechins, and four times the levels of procyandins than cacao produced with standard processing.

What Are Procyanidins and Proanthocyanidins?

Procyanidins, compounds commonly found in red wine, are good for your blood vessels and are probably one of the factors contributing towards a long life, say researchers from the William Harvey Research Institute, Queen Mary, University of London.

Proanthocyanidins have antioxidant activity and they play a role in the stabilization of collagen and maintenance of elastin, two critical proteins in connective tissue that support organs, joints, blood vessels, and muscle. In preliminary research, proanthocyanidins were reported to have anti-mutagenic activity (i.e., to prevent chromosomal mutations).

Proanthocyanidins work directly to help strengthen all the blood vessels and improve the delivery of oxygen to the cells. Proanthocyanidins also have an affinity for cell membranes, providing nutritional support to reduce capillary permeability and fragility.

What Are Flavonoids?

Flavonoids are widely distributed in plants, fulfilling many functions. Flavonoids have been referred to as "nature's biological response modifiers" because of strong experimental evidence of their inherent ability to modify the body's reaction to allergens, viruses, and carcinogens. They show anti-allergic, anti-inflammatory, anti-microbial and anti-cancer activity.

Recent studies on cacao have concluded that best results were obtained by consuming daily 600-900mg of Total Flavonoids. Xocai™ Power Squares have an astounding 1,008mg of Total Flavonoids per serving (18g).

Flavonoids are the most important pigments for flower coloration producing yellow or red/blue pigmentation in petals. Those colors are a mean to attract pollinator animals. They also protect plants from attacks by microbes and insects.

Consumers and food manufacturers have become interested in flavonoids for their medicinal properties, especially their potential role in the prevention of cancers and cardiovascular disease.

Flavonoids could also induce mechanisms that help kill cancer cells and inhibit tumor invasion. UCLA cancer researchers have found that study participants who ate foods containing certain flavonoids seemed to be protected from developing lung cancer.
