Probiotics in Chocolate

Good News for Chocolate Lovers Who Care About

Their Family Health

Probiotics Now Can Be Found In The ‘Most-Famous-And-Loved’ Food – Chocolate !

The common probiotics foods that can be found in the market are dairy products such as yogurt and cheese. However, the latest initial studies revealed that, compared to dairy products, chocolate is a superior and better carrier for intestinal delivery of probiotics. Probiotics in chocolate ensure the survival of up to four times as many good bacteria as those contained in dairy substrates.

How does probiotics in chocolate works ?

The probiotics added in the chocolate reach and colonize your large intestine, which will also enhance the growth of lactobacillus and bifidobacteria.

Micro-encapsulation Technology

Thanks to the micro-encapsulation technology developed by a large food company, there is now an answer to several stability issues of probiotics in non-dairy food, such as chocolate. This technology is applying a protective shield around probiotics bacteria to ensure their survival in your digestive tract that will optimize the activity in the gut. It enhances the viability and resistance of probiotics to heat, compression and high gastric acidity.

Probiotics in Chocolate

By consuming 13.5 grams of probiotics in chocolate everyday, you will be providing sufficient probiotics for your family to ensure optimal activity on the intestinal microflora.

Adding probiotics in chocolate will have no influence on the taste, texture and mouth-feel of the chocolate.

Other Benefits of Chocolate

Besides probiotics, chocolate has many other benefits for your family health, such as:

Dark Chocolate with 60-85% cocoa contains flavonoids epicatechin and galic acid that are very important for human’s blood circulation. The high flavonoids content in chocolate could help human’s body to fight LDL cholesterol oxidation and reduce heart attack risk.

The high antioxidant contained in chocolate is believed to improve body immune. Catechin, the antioxidant content in chocolate is even 4 times more than the content in green tea.
A cup of hot chocolate that contains lactium is the best medicine to relax you from stress.
The endorphin contained in chocolate can naturally relieve pain. Endorphin can also ‘instruct’ your brain to be more relaxed so that oxygen can circulate better in your blood, which at the end will improve your memory.
Vitamins B1, B2, D, E, and also several minerals such as potassium and magnesium also contained in chocolate, which make chocolate gives you more advantage than disadvantage !
Drink a cup of chocolate milk after having exercise ! Milk that contains protein can help muscle building and more fat burning.

Chocolate & Weight Loss

One of the sources of chocolate taste is fat. However, the melting degree of cocoa/chocolate fat is less that human natural body temperature. When you eat a bite of chocolate, the cocoa fat will melt immediately in your mouth. When melting, a specific, soft, velvet-like taste will appear from the chocolate. However if it melts down onto your carpet, you're going to need a carpet wizzard to do the cleaning.

The fat contained in chocolate cannot absorbed by human body instantly. That’s why eating chocolate won’t have any effect to your weight loss program. However in many chocolate manufacturers, the original chocolate fat is replaced with other component such as sugar, vegetable oil and butter, as chocolate fat is quite expensive.

Now you can provide probiotics for your entire family in many ways and variation.
