Cocoa Extract

Latin Name: Theobroma cacao L.

Spec: 10% Theobromine

Description

Cocoa extract, though boasting a chocolaty taste, is a bitter mix comprising of xanthine molecules and procyanidins. Cocoa extract comes from, of course, cocoa beans, through a process of crushing or grinding the beans and then eliminating the butter or fat from the cocoa. Those who opt to supplement with cocoa extract have noted a great number of health-related benefits. These include improvements in their cognition, cardiovascular system and, consequently, in blood circulation. These benefits are largely thanks to the antioxidants present in cocoa extract .

Many people assume that there is no difference between the words “cacao” and “cocoa.” However, there is a significant difference. Raw cocoa extract is cacao that has been pressed to eliminate the fat, but is then roasted at high heat. Raw cacao, though, is extracted by way of cold-pressing the unroasted cacao beans to keep living enzymes, while still eliminating the fat.
