Why Cocoa Flavanols: What They Do

Scientists at Mars have been studying cocoa flavanols and their effects on our bodies for two decades. To date, Mars has published more than 130 papers on cocoa.

What's been discovered is that cocoa flavanols help the body access its own, natural pool of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide helps blood vessels widen so blood can flow freely, carrying nutrients and oxygen to all parts of the body. Obviously, when nutrients and oxygen can make their way to our cells, our bodies are nourished, ready to help us do the things we want to do in life.

There are probably hundreds of products on the market containing chocolate or cocoa powder, but few could guarantee the 200mg cocoa flavanol content you get in each serving of goodnessKnows® luscious snacksquares.
