Northumberland brand offers patented game-changing solution to tackle obesity, heart disease and Alzheimer's

It's long been said that everything in moderation is good for you, yet nutritional-grade cocoa brand, Recocoa, is here to challenge that misconception and to set out how getting more of the best products can dramatically improve your health outlook. Consumers have been aware of the link between diet, nutrition and chronic heart disease for some years, with many making the change from a stodgy diet, high in unsaturated fats and simple carbohydrates to a nutritious plant-led diet. There is also a growing awareness of the link between the gut and the brain and neuro degenerative diseases, like Alzheimer's. It is clear that we really are what we eat.

The Recocoa brand is bringing to market a new range of products that has been scientifically designed and tested to offer consumers a way to eat themselves healthier. Cacao's most progressive health benefits lie in cacao's flavanols. Recocoa's patented process means that their products will target a range of cardio vascular, neurodegenerative and digestive problems that we're experiencing as a result of modern living.

With Recocoa products now available via Amazon, the brand is clearing up common misconceptions around the health benefits of raw cocoa and setting out just how revolutionary their product is.

What sets Recooca products apart from the rest?

Recocoa has developed a pure cacao ingredient, called 'Flavanola', which it adds to its products.  Flavanola has powerful components that promote healthy circulation by keeping arteries flexible and ensure a good flow of oxygen to organs, muscles and tissues. The flavanols in cacao have also been found to promote a healthy mind, boosting dopamine and serotonin production, however studies have found it can also reduce memory loss too.

Colin Francis, Founder and Chair of Recocoa, said, “Raw cocoa is very powerful, but so often its capacity is negated by the process used to turn it into products, such as chocolate and cocoa powder. Recocoa's patented process means that we can produce products that deliver all the health benefits of raw cocoa in easily consumable, delicious products. We've worked hard to technologically engineer the production process to ensure that the health benefits are retained. We've been able to do this to such a level that we're able to make substantial health claims about our products. We think that's worth sharing.”

Recocoa's products have been developed to meet the following brand-led stipulations:

• Products are natural, organic and powered by plants with no animal inputs or synthetic additives
• Gluten and Diary free
• Natural levels of Magnesium, Chromium, Potassium, Zinc, Iron and Probiotics maintained throughout processing
• Satisfies the EFSA claim with supportive data and evidence
• Has neuro protective benefits
• Excellent source of dietary fibre and protein
