Xocai Chocolate?

Xoçai products are a result of a patented "Cold Press Process" in the creation of dark Belgian Chocolate, which keeps ALL the antioxidants, flavonoids and nutrients intact! Xocai chocolate contains no preservatives, bad fats, waxes, fillers, nor bad sugars!


Xoçai chocolate is a combination of the antioxidant benefits of the finest European cocoa powder and the
 Acai berry superfood from the Amazon Rain Forest. The resulting product has a higher antioxidant level of any plant or fruit known to man, with amazing health benefits!  Clinical studies show that the unprocessed (un-heated) cocoa bean is full of flavanoids & other nutrients that can be good for weight-loss, cholesterol levels, blood
pressure, heart disease & much more!


What exactly are antioxidants and
why are they so important?

Antioxidants are substances or nutrients in our foods which can prevent or slow the oxidative damage to our body. When our body cells use oxygen, they naturally produce free radicals (by-products) which can cause damage. Antioxidants act as "free radical scavengers" and hence prevent and repair damage done by these free radicals.  Health problems such as heart disease, macular degeneration, diabetes, cancer etc are all contributed by oxidative damage. Antioxidants may also enhance immune defense and therefore lower the risk of cancer
and infection.


What is an ORAC value?

ORAC stands for Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity. Researchers at the National Institute of Aging developed ORAC testing as a way to measure the level of antioxidant protection capacity of a product or food. If a product has

a high ORAC value, it has the ability to neutralize many free radicals.

The USDA website recommends a Daily Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC. However, recent studies have suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants. Xocai chocolate products

are produced with some of the world’s most powerful super foods – unprocessed cacao powder and the acai berry which contain all the essential levels of natural antioxidants the body needs on a daily basis. The best way to consume large amounts of natural antioxidants is from Xocai's healthy chocolate products.
