Swanson Ultra
Made with Organic Cocoa Polyphenols Extract
Item: SWU965
•Concentrated cocoa polyphenols for a healthy heart and mind
•Enjoy the benefits of dark chocolate without the fat and sugar!
•Standardized to a minimum 10% polyphenols
Now you can enjoy the healthful properties of dark chocolate without all the fat and sugar, with Swanson Ultra Organic Cocoa Polyphenols Extract. Chocolate was once thought of as an indulgent treat, but is now known to have health benefits for both body and mind, thanks to its antioxidant flavonoid content.
A little pricey @ 2 bottles of 30 for $19.99, but less costly than the medications for treatment IF cocoa is truly the preventative it's described to be. Maybe you can check out the 'polyphenols and 3% cocoa flavanols' content to see if those are clinically sufficient, or whether the cocoa powder is the way to go.
I've used Hershey's Natural Unsweetened Cocoa for hot chocolate for years. But I see some possibly better nutritional choices on the web.
You started this! You better finish it with some definitive info. LOL!

Research has shown that antioxidant constituents in cocoa known as catechins support cardiovascular wellness and circulatory function as well as memory and mental function. Unfortunately, most cocoa products combine these healthful catechins with a lot of unwanted fat and sugar. That’s where our Organic Cocoa Polyphenols Extract can help.
Swanson Ultra Organic Cocoa Polyphenols Extract features CocoaNol™, a concentrated extract made exclusively from certified organically grown cocoa beans. Standardized to a minimum 10% polyphenols and 3% cocoa flavanols, CocoaNol has the highest concentration of total catechins of any chocolate product on the market—ten thousand times the concentration found in a standard dark chocolate bar—including the highest concentration of epicatechin, the primary flavonol linked to the observed health benefits of dark chocolate. It’s a convenient way to reap the healthy rewards of chocolate every day.
