Cocoapro®
Cocoa...Handled with Care
Cocoa flavanols can be easily destroyed during normal chocolate processing. Building off of nearly two decades of research, Mars, Incorporated scientists have perfected a process to reduce the cocoa bean’s exposure to high temperatures, helping to protect the cocoa extract. This proprietary, patented Cocoapro® process guarantees that the cocoa extract in CirkuHealthTM has consistent levels of flavanols.
Percent Cocoa is NOT a Reliable Measure of Flavanols
Despite the popular suggestion that higher percent cacao/cocoa is an indicator of a greater health benefit, the true benefits come from flavanols. A chocolate or cocoa product with a high percentage of cacao/cocoa extract may not retain its flavanol content due to the losses during processing.
That’s why Cocoapro® and CirkuHealth™ are unique – both are a guarantee of a consistent level of flavanols in a cocoa extract.
