Discover How You Gain The Health Advantages of Antioxidants With A Small Daily Portion of This Delicious Innovative Chocolate

Enjoy just 9gm (2 small pieces) of this unique chocolate to get your recommended daily intake of health-supporting antioxidants…

Dear health-seeker,

Did you know that scientific research has discovered antioxidants help protect against cardiovascular disease, early ageing, certain cancers and the development of diabetes type 2?  And also help to improve brain function and our immune system?

And, if you enjoy chocolate, the good news is dark high-cocoa content, chocolate is a good source. So tell me... 

Do you like chocolate?

Do you savour the smooth, melt-in-your-mouth texture of Belgian chocolate?

Then I've got even more exciting news for you...

ACTICOA™ is a brand new, innovative, cocoa bean fermenting process.  It creates delicious, all-natural ingredients, dark and milk Belgian chocolate, which contains extremely high levels of antioxidants

Twice as much as ordinary chocolate; dark or milk. Higher levels even than the equivalent weight of blueberries, walnuts or apples

In fact more than you'd get by sipping red wine or drinking green tea.

Let me share the insider knowledge with you...

A startling fact...
Health beneficial antioxidants...
High cocoa content...

A Startling Fact...

The most effective way of getting the necessary daily quotient of antioxidants, recommended by scientists and nutritionists, is by eating the foods that naturally contain high levels of antioxidant; they've been give the term 'superfoods'.

Superfoods include blueberries, apples, red wine, green and black tea. 

But the most startling fact to emerge is that the  cocoa bean also contains high levels of naturally occurring cocoa polyphenols, which is a very powerful antioxidant.  It means chocolate, eaten in moderation, delivers more health benefits that previously thought. 

The ancient Mayan and Aztec cultures knew this all along.  The base ingredient of chocolate; the cocoa bean, is actually choc-ful of health delivering benefits.  It's these healthier components; polyphenols (a more powerful antioxidant), that made cocoa and chocolate so popular with them. 

Antioxidants present at higher levels in Delvaux ACTICOA chocolate than the ordinary chocolate, red wine or green tea levels of antioxidantsThis newly developed fermenting process, which produces the main ingredient of our Delvaux ACTICOA™ chocolate, delivers even higher levels of antioxidants than standard chocolate and even some of the superfoods - as I'll explain in a moment.  But first, in the chart just compare the polyphenol (antioxidant) levels of these popular drinks consumed by people who want to stay healthy.

The good news... now this innovative Delvaux ACTICOA™ chocolate is the easiest way to get your daily quota of antioxidantsin a small amount of dark or milk chocolate because both contain twice the antioxidants found in ordinary chocolate. Let me explain…

The real problem with our modern chocolate is the way it is manufactured; the way the cocoa bean is harvested and processed and all the extra ingredients, like sugar, that are added.

Retaining Health Beneficial Antioxidants…

You see, the cocoa bean is healthy because it contains procyanid flavonoids.  These are high-level cocoa-polyphenols which are antioxidants.  But, although the cocoa bean naturally contains high levels of these beneficial antioxidants, in the normal chocolate preparation process up to 70% of the cocoa polyphenols are lost.  Which is why the ACTICOA™ process was developed.  By taking the cocoa beans through this more gentle process, which does take longer to complete, the polyphenol loss is reduced to just 20%.

A full 80% of the health-promoting cocoa-polyphenols - antioxidants - are kept

Lower Chocolate Consumption - Higher Intake of Antioxidants 

Blueberries, Apples, Walnuts and Red Wine, all have less antioxidants per gram weight than Delvaux ACTICOA chocolate

This picture shows some of the so-called superfoods we are told are good for us because they contain antioxidants. But interestingly, to get your full daily quota of antioxidants, the amount you would have to consume of each food/drink is quite different. 

For example, the picture shows 2 Kg of apples - you would need to eat 10 times this amount every day (that's 20kg ) to reach the recommended daily intake of antioxidants.

Blueberries are recommended as a good source of antioxidants; but you need 167g per day (that's effectively 2 of our 5 daily fruit & veg portions). 

Red wine is offered as a way of getting the antioxidants you need; two standard glasses (175ml each) every day does the trick.  Of course they also contain 4 units of alcohol ... perhaps not the best solution if you're driving or, for the ladies, if you are pregnant.

So what about chocolate?

Because such a high proportion of the cocoa polyphenols are retained with this new process, it means that 9g of Delvaux-ACTICOA™ dark chocolate; just 2 small pieces , delivers a little over the recommended daily allowance (RDA) of antioxidants

Actually, you need far less of this dark healthier chocolate to get your antioxidants compared to the amount you would need to consume of these so-called superfoods; red wine, green tea or blueberries - as you can see in the comparison chart below.  You only need 9g of Delvaux Acticoa dark chocolate to get your RDA of antioxidants, compared to 167g of blueberries 

What's more, this chocolate contains twice as many (203.4%) antioxidants as standard dark chocolate. (The thing is, the Delvaux-ACTICOA™ milk chocolate contains almost as many antioxidants as standard dark chocolate!!  And 2.5 times (258%) the amount of antioxidants found in standard milk chocolate).

Plus High Cocoa Content

You've probably heard, or read, that chocolate with high cocoa content is a healthier option for you.

This is true.  But the main reason you're advised to go for dark chocolate with higher cocoa content is to make sure you get as many as possible of the 200 health contributing components the cocoa bean contains, including antioxidants.

The good news is with Delvaux ACTICOA™ chocolates you get all these additional benefits because the cocoa content is a healthy 64% in the dark chocolate and an impressive 40% in the milk chocolate. Display Delvaux ACTICOA Milk Chocolate Product Details

Tastes Good Too…

What's more, the secret skill brought to bear in the manufacture of this healthier chocolate removes the bitter taste often associated with standard dark, cocoa-rich, chocolate. 

The Delvaux-ACTICOA™ dark chocolate has a smooth, velvety rich flavour without any of the bitter after-taste.  And the Delvaux-ACTICOA™ milk chocolate has the gloriously, silky-smooth texture you expect from a luxurious high-quality, all-natural ingredients Belgian chocolate.  You enjoy the glorious taste whilst knowing you are consuming more antioxidants than in normal chocolate or some of the other superfoods.

Hey, if you want to give your body a fighting chance against cancer, heart disease, strokes, mental deficiency or avoid developing diabetes type 2 , then getting your daily quota of antioxidants is the way to go.  And you might as well do it in the easiest and most enjoyable way with just a few small pieces of antioxidant-rich chocolate that fits nicely with your healthy lifestyle.
