Right now, your eyes are focusing as you read. Your fingers may be using your computer mouse or keyboard. You are breathing. None of these events can occur without proper blood circulation.
Why is Healthy Circulation Important?
The circulatory system is made up of the heart, a complex network of blood vessels (arteries, veins and capillaries) and blood. This amazing transportation system carries blood wherever it's needed, whenever it's needed. Nutrients and oxygen are delivered and waste is carried away.
It's the biological equivalent of a highway system. The goal is to keep traffic moving at the right speed, keep the roads open and avoid pile-ups!
Healthy circulation allows tissues to get the oxygen and nutrients they need to function at their best. Poor circulation, in turn, can have unwanted consequences.
The Flavanol Connection
An average adult has about 40 billion blood vessels. The function and health of all of the body's organs, including the heart, the brain, skeletal muscles and skin are all dependent on circulation. Imagine the importance of naturally supporting these precious blood vessels.
Enter cocoa flavanols.
There is a growing body of research on cocoa flavanols and their role in supporting circulatory health. This research suggests that these compounds support healthy blood circulation in a number of different ways including by promoting blood vessel dilation and healthy blood platelet function. Using the highway analogy, cocoa flavanols appear to serve as an invisible maintenance crew that helps to widen the roads keeping the cars from getting too close to each other.
CocoaVia™ Circulation has a minimum of 200 milligrams of cocoa flavanols—a level that research suggests may support healthy blood vessel function and circulation. Including CocoaVia™ Circulation as part of a healthy diet is a simple and effective way to help promote circulatory health.
