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.

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.
