Performance Benefits

Protein is an essential part of every cell in the body, it is needed to build and repair tissues, support the immune system, produce hormones and transport nutrients. Inadequate intakes of protein can result in loss of lean muscle mass, increased injury risk and negatively affect calcium absorption and bone mineral density.

Health Benefits

The cacao in good quality dark chocolate contains a good source of flavanols and procyanidins which are major classes of antioxidants. The health benefits of these antioxidants include helping to protect the body’s cells from the damaging effects of inflammation and free radicals. Excessive inflammation and free radical production have been linked with a number of lifestyle-related chronic diseases.
