There are several different types of antioxidants. Scientists believe that one group, called flavanol antioxidants, may be particularly effective at ‘neutralising’ the free radicals. Other than grape-seed extract, no food naturally contains more flavanol antioxidants than Dark Choxi+.

Perhaps the most exciting antioxidant of all is epicatechin, which seems to be especially potent. Research at Harvard Medical School is on-going but initial findings have been so positive that it has led to epicatechin being called the ‘cocoa vitamin’. Cocoa beans and Choxi+ are a particularly rich source of this extraordinary substance.

To get the maximum benefit from Choxi+, you should enjoy it as part of a balanced diet. Choxi+ is an excellent source of flavanol antioxidants but that does not mean you should substitute it for one of your five daily portions of fruit and vegetables. Two squares of Dark Choxi+ (a whole day’s worth of antioxidants) contain just over 50 calories – slightly less than a typical apple – so Choxi+ is easy to include in a balanced diet.
