The World’s First Youth Boosting ‘Smart’ Chocolate
“Let food be thy medicine, thy medicine shall be thy food.” - Hippocrates
Most people consider chocolate to be an unhealthy treat, something to only consume on
occasion due to its common high calorie count and fat content. However natural cocoa is
healthy and chocolate doesn’t have to be bad.
Over the years, the addition of fat, sugar and dairy has made chocolate an unhealthy
product, one that generates weight gain, insulin spikes and often guilt.
Chocolate is a superfood!
The medicinal effects of cocoa have been known for hundreds of years. Cocoa (high in
concentration in dark chocolate) is full of polyphenols, which is a powerful antioxidant
able to neutralise free radical molecules and reduce inflammation. It is the polyphenols in
dark chocolate that gives it the bitter taste. The healthy way to eat dark chocolate is to
eat bars with at least 90% cocoa solids. However it is often rare to find bars with 90%
cocoa solids and it is not necessarily pleasurable to consume.
It is the benefits of cocoa that have been the focus of work by scientists behind Esthechoc
for over 10 years.
Esthechoc – chocolate that is healthy and good for the skin
“Esthechoc is the most enjoyable way to protect your skin.” - Dr Petyaev, Esthechoc
Inventor
After many years of research and lab experiments, the team at Cambridge Chocolate
Technologies have created what some would term the ‘holy grail’ - chocolate that is
enjoyable, healthy, does not raise insulin levels and has been proven to improve skin
health in just 3 weeks. And the best results come from eating it daily!
How does Esthechoc affect skin?
Esthechoc has been clinically proven to improve the health of the skin with two very
important and powerful antioxidants:
- Astaxanthin - a strong anti-inflammatory substance (6000 times stronger than
vitamin C)
- Cocoa Polyphenolic Epicatechins - increase oxygen transport in plasma and
microcirculation
These ingredients provide antioxidant protection, reduce inflammation, boost
microcirculation to the skin and maintain healthy oxygen levels to the skin, all resulting in
healthy, youthful-looking skin.
Esthechoc contains proprietary technology: standardised formation of Astaxanthin-
Phospholipid Micelles with encapsulated Polyphenol Crystals in a Chocolate Matrix. This
technology is behind Esthechoc’s significantly stronger efficacy both vs. dark chocolate
and Astaxanthin tablet or capsules.
In addition, a unique, patented micellar technology used in the chocolate makes both of
these active substances more bioavailable and useable for skin.
Bioavailability is the measure of what is detected in the blood after consumption. It is
influenced by many factors such as the:
- Format in which one eats the ingredients and the acidity of the stomach
- Absorption in the intestinal tract, as well as its sensitivity
- Liver processing and the composition of the meal accompanying the ingredients.
As a result bioavailability of many substances can be as low as 5% to 10% of what
is eaten
The combination of epicatechins (hydrophilic) and astaxanthin (lipophilic) increases the
bioavailability of both components.
Why is bioavailability important?
Esthechoc is a new type of nutraceutical product. Unlike some supplements or drinks that
are not digested in the gut, this is absorbed like any other food product and therefore
impacts the skin metabolism and effectively reduces the destructive impact of various
external factors that cause skin ageing. The components in Esthechoc are resistant to the
stomach acid and are not degraded straight after absorption. They go directly through
the lymphatic system and the thoracic duct to the venous angle and from there, directly
to the tissues.
“Chocolate when combined with our patented technology has a range of benefits
throughout the body. When combined with Astaxanthin, the active in Esthechoc, there is
a super-additive effect from the polyphenols in the cocoa and the antioxidant so that they
become 10 times more powerful than when ingested alone.” Dr Petyaev
The Clinical Trial
A double blind, four-week trial incorporated 104 participants aged 45 to 70. Within three
weeks, participants observed an improvement in the biomarkers of skin that inform us of
its condition - namely dryness, loss of elasticity, broken capillaries, and wrinkles -
particularly the softening of marionette lines.
“Eating one bar of Esthechoc a day improves oxygen transport in plasma by 85%,
improves oxygen saturation of skin by 59%, reduces oxidative damage related to
inflammation by 72%, and significantly improves capillary condition. The research proved
that both biochemical and metabolic conditions of blood and skin were improved. Better
skin nourishment was noticed thanks to microcirculation improvement and higher
saturation with oxygen.” Dr Petyaev
Why doesn’t eating dark chocolate deliver the same benefits?
Dark chocolate contains epicatechins that are beneficial to the human body. However, the
bioavailability of epicatechins is limited. This is due to a limited available dose of
epicatechins, teamed with a high fat content. One would need a minimum of 60–70g of
90% dark chocolate, which would be approximately 500 calories, to get close to
consuming the amount of epicatechins that are beneficial.
Nature’s strongest antioxidant is Astaxanthin. In addition to its antioxidant properties it is
anti-inflammatory and has been clinically proven to help prevent UV damage. Similarly, to
obtain enough Astaxanthin through diet, one would have to eat 300g of wild Alaskan
salmon a day.
One small bar (7.5g) of Esthechoc a day provides 4mg of bioavailable Astaxanthin and
about 4215 μg (epicatechins) of high bioavailability.
Regular consumption of Esthechoc will keep the skin functioning efficiently and reduce
oxidative damage, which will prevent degregation of skin cells. This in turn will keep
collagen healthy resulting in taut, plump, glowing skin.
For under £2 per day, one can look after their skin from the inside, whilst enjoying
chocolate as part of a healthy diet.
RRP: £42.50 (30 day supply)
Esthechoc is vegan, 100% natural and only 38 kilocalories!
