Cocoa powder is 100% non-alkalised cocoa bean powder with no sugar or additives. Thanks to gentle processing, it retains a high flavanol content, specifically more than 400 mg in one serving. These are the main bioactive substances in cocoa. It also contains calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, zinc a natural caffeine content (10+ mg per serving). Ideal for coffee, shakes, smoothies and baking.
Cocoa powder is 100% unalkalized cocoa powder without sugar, artificial sweeteners or any additives. Alkalization, i.e. treatment with an alkaline substance, which is used in regular cocoa to reduce acidity for a milder taste and darker colour, reduces the cocoa's flavanol content and its aroma and taste then tend to be flatter. In contrast, unalkalized cocoa retains the full taste and aroma of the beans as well as a high flavanol content. This is measured in a laboratory, specifically using the HPLC method as a fraction with a degree of polymerization of 1 to 10, so you can be sure of its declared amount. In addition, the product is tested by an independent laboratory for heavy metals and microbiological purity. You can easily verify these results yourself using the QR code on the packaging, which takes you directly to the reports.
Flavanols belong to flavonoids, a subgroup of polyphenols, and are the main bioactive component in cocoa. One serving of cocoa provides over 400 mg. Cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood circulation. The beneficial effect is achieved with a daily intake of 200 mg cocoa flavanols, which corresponds to approximately half a serving.
Cocoa powder is also a source of iron. As a result, it supports normal cognitive function and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. Thanks to zinc, it also contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress. It also has a high fibre content, 17,7 g per 100 g. In addition to caffeine, cocoa naturally also contains theobromine, of which there is 119 mg per serving. Clinical studies have examined the effect of cocoa flavanols on attention and thinking speed.¹ Other studies investigated their association with better mood² and lower mental fatigue.³
Cocoa powder is part of Blueprint, Bryan Johnson's daily protocol consisting of foods and dietary supplements with defined dosages. In the protocol, it is used after training: one scoop of 5,65 g mixed into plant-based milk, coffee, a smoothie, or a shake. It is suitable to combine it with Blueprint Longevity Protein.
