This reminds me my wife and I have boxes of Cocovia, also from Mars, that meets this potency. We were taking them consistently, and have fallen off the wagon for awhile.

You can get Cocovia on occasional sales for around 30% off.

Any supplement providing 500 mg of cocoa flavanols a day should provide the same benefit.

The “Take Charge Of Your Health” Ping List

This potentially high volume ping list is for health articles and studies which describe something you or your doctor, when informed, may be able to implement for your benefit.

Now keeping a new list (“Common Issues”) for conditions expected to only concern at least 1% of the population. Ask to be on either the “Common Issues” or “Everything” list.

Please email or private message me if you want on or off of a list and of which list you desire.

Why not just eat a little chocolate with over 70% cocoa everyday?

So this is chocolate without the sugar, milk, and fats?

I get my flavanols, the old fashioned way via good dark chocolate 2x/day.

I’m 83 and heading to being 84.

Very cool! I include 75% dark in my treats regularly- I’ll study about this more.

About nine months ago, I read about CocoaVia’s effect on cognition (here on FR) and gave it a try. I don’t think I’ve noticed any improvements. Mars markets two varieties of CocoaVia — Cardio Health (500 mg) capsules and Memory+ (750 mg) capsules. They recommend three Memory+ capsules per day which I think is 750 mg Cocoa Flavanols per day (but the web site FAQ suggests it is 750 mg per CAPSULE). They need to make their information more self-consistent and accurate.

The stuff is very expensive, about $500 per year!
