FAQ's About CocoaVia, Cocoa Flavanols, & More

How much caffeine is in CocoaVia™ products?

All CocoaVia™ supplement products are made with our proprietary Cocoapro™ cocoa extract. As the product is made from cocoa, our products naturally contain some caffeine.

If I want cardio and memory benefits, do I need to take both 750mg and 500mg products together?

The short answer is no.

To support cardiovascular health, try our 500mg products made with the same Cocoapro™ extract and flavanol levels clinically proven in COSMOS.

750mg products contain 135mg of (-)-epicatechin per serving. (-)-Epicatechin is the active molecule in cocoa flavanol compounds. In addition to cognitive benefits, the level of (-)-epicatechin in memory products support cardiovascular performance. For consumers interested in both cognitive and cardiovascular performance we recommend our memory products.

One of the benefits of the (-)-epicatechin in our proprietary cocoa extract is that it is plant-based. Additionally, we’re one of the few companies that can trace our ingredient back to the farms where our cocoa is produced. Lastly, there are few other plant-based supplements on the market that can guarantee (or will even state) how much (-)-epicatechin is in their product. So ultimately, you may not be able to tell what you’re actually getting in other supplements.
