  • Cocoa flavanols promote the elasticity of blood and capillary vessels*

  • Contributes to healthy blood circulation*

  • Without caloric load and without side effects

Cardio Care promotes the elasticity of the blood vessels with high doses of cocoa flavanols and thus contributes to a healthy blood flow in all blood and capillary vessels, e.g. arteries, veins, heart and organs. Healthy, elastic blood vessels and normal blood flow are part of a healthy circulation. Only if the blood vessels are not rigid but elastic can they expand and ensure that sufficient nutrients and oxygen reach the smallest branches of our blood vessel system (capillaries) in order to supply the cells there. The cocoa flavanols act directly on the endothelium, i.e. the inner cell wall of the blood vessels, which is responsible for their elasticity.*

Why the blood vessels are so important for blood flow

Healthy blood flow is important so that oxygen and nutrients are distributed throughout the body. Only in this way can all organs, especially our heart and brain, but also our arms and legs, be optimally supplied. Elastic blood vessels are a prerequisite for the blood to flow well through the veins and for a constant blood pressure to be maintained. The famous German doctor Rudolf Virchow put it in a nutshell: "You are as old as your blood vessels." They are crucial for our health because they form the interface between the outside world and cell function. If our body cells are not well taken care of, they begin to age. This aging process is accelerated by numerous substances such as cholesterol, calcium deposits, etc., which accelerate the hardening of our vessels. The endothelium is responsible for the elasticity of the blood vessels. This is the layer of cells that lines our veins from the inside. It regulates the exchange of substances between blood and tissue. One of these substances is nitric oxide (NO), which ensures that the veins can dilate. If the endothelium no longer produces enough NO, the blood vessels cannot dilate and blood circulation is impaired. Especially in the smallest branches of the blood vessel system, the narrow capillaries, the elasticity of the veins is so important so that the blood can flow well here.

How do cocoa flavanols work?

The cocoa flavanols contained in Cardio Care act directly on the endothelium: they cause an increase in NO in the blood, which in turn relaxes the vascular muscles, allowing the vessels to expand and blood flow to improve.* That dark chocolate is very healthy due to its flavanol content , has been known for a long time. Studies show that frequent consumption of products containing cocoa can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. However, the disadvantage is the high calorie content of around 500 kcal per 100 g of chocolate. This negates the positive effects of cocoa again. In addition, the technological processing of the cocoa (fermentation, drying and roasting) reduces the valuable flavanols in the cocoa powder. Therefore, the content in the different chocolates varies greatly depending on the origin. In addition, the effect of the flavanols can be influenced by the simultaneous consumption of other foods. In contrast to drinks containing cocoa or chocolate, 80% of the valuable flavanols in Cardio Care are retained and have not been lost through fermentation, drying and roasting. In addition, the caloric load of Cardio Care is minimal compared to foods containing cocoa. Alternatively, up to one bar of chocolate would have to be consumed per day - with all its fat, sugar and calories. In contrast to drinks containing cocoa or chocolate, 80% of the valuable flavanols in Cardio Care are retained and have not been lost through fermentation, drying and roasting. In addition, the caloric load of Cardio Care is minimal compared to foods containing cocoa. Alternatively, up to one bar of chocolate would have to be consumed per day - with all its fat, sugar and calories. In contrast to drinks containing cocoa or chocolate, 80% of the valuable flavanols in Cardio Care are retained and have not been lost through fermentation, drying and roasting. In addition, the caloric load of Cardio Care is minimal compared to foods containing cocoa. Alternatively, up to one bar of chocolate would have to be consumed per day - with all its fat, sugar and calories.
