Enjoy the support of 100% organic cacao—cold and creamy, or hot and frothed—and your protective microbes will flood you with anti-inflammatory compounds. Organic, defatted, and naturally sugar-free cacao powder is genuinely microbiome-supportive. Protective polyphenols, specifically flavanols, are in chocolate and are similar to those in tea, grapes, pomegranates, cranberries, blueberries, and blackberries; they act as prebiotics, feeding our beneficial resident microbes. The flavonols eicatechin, catechin, and phocyanidins found in cacao are not absorbed without polyphenol-dependent microscopic Akkermansia converting them into bioactive metabolites within us. The metabolites they provide reduce inflammation to support metabolism, regulate the cell cycle, inhibit tumor cell proliferation, promote apoptosis (programmed cell death), and support immune function. With a Protective Diet and lifestyle we feed and foster health-promoting microscopic life within us because we depend on them to efficiently metabolize protective ingredients and maximize their antioxidant capacity to block oxidative stress, reverse disease, prevent disease, and eliminate obesity.
