The ingredients - The ONLY ingredients

ORGANIC CACAO

Our Organic Cacao is certified Organic by the EU and comes from Peru, in this blend the whole bean is used so you get all the benefits. It's the gift that keeps on giving. Cacao (real chocolate) has the ability to aid health in many ways; mood enhancement, immune support, anti-oxidant and anti-inflammatory, plus with high levels of magnesium which helps improve nerve and muscle health, energy production, and bone health (to name but a few).
Research has shown that the Theobromine in Cacao aids the absorption of the polyphenols (anti-oxidants) in Cacao, because Cacao has this action, it has also been shown to help the absorption of nutrients in other products it's combined with. Making it the perfect base for CHOCELIX.

 

Active Ingredients

Magnesium, Theobromine, Polyphenols (anti-oxidant), Anandamide (bliss chemical), Phenyethylamine (nootropic), Saturated fats.

ORGANIC BEETROOT

Beetroot is well known for its health benefits, although it is not touting such accreditations as Immunomodulation or adaptogenic, we still like to think of them as 'Super-beets' and are a staple in our pantry because Beetroots contain the very important bio-active compound betaine. This is the little compound responsible for most of the wonderful effects Beetroot has to offer, acting as a methyl donor and with science suggesting quite a few benefits; highly effective as an anti-oxidant, anti-inflammatory, immune support, liver support and nourishment, cognitive and physical performance (supported by another bioactive compound found in large quantities in beetroot: nitrates) as beetroot has been directly linked a potential ability to aid aerobic activity, as well as supporting efficiency and oxygenation of muscles.
Beetroot has also been shown to act as a vasodilator, opening up the blood vessels to aid blood flow and nutrient transportation. Combined with the absorption capacity of Cacao, it makes it the perfect sweetener for CHOCELIX.

 

Active Ingredients

Nitrate, Phenolics (Anti-oxidants), Ascorbic Acid (Anti-oxidant), Carotenoids, Betalains, of which one of interest would be; Glycine Betaine (trimethyl glycine).

ORGANIC WILD CHAGA (8:1)

The Grove Wild Chaga (scientifically known as Inonotus obliquus), grows in symbiosis with living silver birch trees, both doing their own natural thing, neither causing the other harm - quite a phenomenal match.
Chaga contains significant amounts of bioactive antioxidants in the form of; polyphenols (flavanoids), polysaccharides (β-glucans) and melanin (responsible for the dark colour), as well as triterpenoids (betulin being one of them). Studies suggest that due to this unique combination of powerful nutrients, Chaga may help; support immune health, reduce inflammation, nourish DNA, act as an anti-viral, balance cholesterol, promote the bodies production of natural killer cells and support brain health — all of which are important when trying to accomplish homeostasis (balance and health in the body) and supporting the immune system. Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) revere Chaga for its ability to promote health and longevity, while maintaining youthfulness, referring to Chaga as a "gift from god". Couple that with the "king of the mushrooms" title as well as all the science, you can't really pass up the opportunity to add this to your daily health arsenal. So, If you're looking to boost your immunity, Chaga is the cheeky little guy that takes the pole position on the Medicinal Mushroom leader board. Making it perfect in our CHOCELIX PROTECT.

Astragalus root has been used for centuries in Traditional Chinese Medicine where it is famed for its use as a Qi (chi, life energy, vital energy) tonic, said to be a protector of the body and to improve energy, metabolism, muscle function, posture with a specific focus on upright Qi (protecting our posture and organs as we age) and last but not least, typically Astragalus is used to improve immune function — allowing us to adapt to stress and change.
Astragalus has been shown via it's various bioactive compounds to help; organ function (the brain (memory), the lungs, the kidneys), as an anti-inflammatory, nerves and when mixed with cinnamon Astragalus may help osteoporosis by stimulating bone growth. Due to its effects on the lungs and energy production, it has made this root a popular tonic among athletes.

ORGANIC SPIRULINA

Spirulina is an Algae, it has a very dark blue-green appearance and grows in very alkaline conditions. Spirulina would appear to be relatively unparalleled in its ability to provide — all in the one place — a plethora of compounds required for health and nutrition. Containing one of natures highest forms of plant based protein (60%), it also contains large quantities of B-complex vitamins, minerals, gamma-linolenic acid as well as anti-oxidants such as beta-carotene and vitamin E. All of which support whole of body physiology and promote complete health.
But research suggests that Spirulina has been shown to contain potent anti-oxidants and has been linked to; helping as an anti-inflammatory, supporting organ health (liver and skin), aiding memory, cognitive performance, eye health, immune support, help circulation (cholesterol balance and blood pressure) and muscular skeletal (arthritis).
What better product to include in our CHOCELIX PROTECT than this green powerhouse who's flavour is masked by the Beetroot and Cacao, while being made more bioavailable.

 

Active Ingredients

Spirulina is literally natures multi-vitamin, with 60% protein being a claim to fame (more than red meat). For a list of all of the active ingredients, research, history and more information check out the product:

ORGANIC CAMU CAMU

Camu Camu's main claim to fame is its high levels of Vitamin C (approx. 4.5%), containing one of the highest concentrations of Vitamin C in the natural world, sometimes higher than the Acerola Cherry or recently discovered Kakadu Plum. Studies into the Vitamin C content of Camu Camu, have found that the concentration is directly related to the location, and where Camu Camu is grown in Peru is paramount to obtaining its high levels of Vitamin C. Research suggests that Camu Camu has an intrinsic effect upon the immune system as well as containing potent anti-oxidative compounds; anthocyanins, flavanols and flavonols. It also synergises well with tonic/Medicinal Mushrooms — by having the potential of making the immune-modulating polysaccharides easier to absorb — Combine these effects with Cacao and Beetroots absorption and transport support, makes it the perfect combination to help nourish the Immune system and a phenomenal little berry to include in our CHOCELIX PROTECT.
