Endothelial cells are crucial to maintaining a healthy arterial system. Endothelial cells are damaged by after-meal surges of glucose-fats and by the age-related depletion of nitric oxide.

Cocoa polyphenols and beta-glucans have shown distinct positive benefits with regard to the risk factors associated with vascular problems such as endothelial dysfunction, metabolic abnormalities, and the processes that damage ageing arteries.

Cocoa polyphenols increase the production of nitric oxide, a key factor in improving blood vessel dilation and blood flow. Cocoa polyphenols also have a beneficial effect on the lipid profile by boosting healthy lipids in the body as well as protecting against platelet over-activation, a dangerous culprit in vascular damage. By keeping the inner lining of blood vessels healthy, cocoa polyphenols therefore help to maintain a healthy cardiovascular system.*

Beta-glucans work in synergy with cocoa polyphenols by helping to maintain healthy cholesterol levels for those already within normal range and a good glycemic response. Beta-glucans not only provide lipid-promoting benefits, they also help to prevent the dangerous after-meal surge in blood glucose. Beta-glucans are also an excellent source of low-glycemic carbohydrates. Low-glycemic foods have a slower and more sustained effect on blood sugar and energy levels than high-glycemic foods, as well as curbing appetite.

For those who want to drink their cocoa polyphenols, CocoaGold™ with Beta-Glucan is a neutral tasting, unsweetened beta-glucan complex that blends the healthy benefits of oats and fibre along with cocoa polyphenols in each serving.

CocoaGold™ with Beta-Glucan provides a neutral tasting, unsweetened beta-glucan complex that has been developed to provide the healthy-lipid-promoting benefits of oats along with cocoa polyphenols in each serving. CocoaGold™ with Beta-Glucan blends fibre with potent cocoa polyphenols in a dual approach to provide nutrients that help promote healthy endothelial function, metabolic conditions, and cardiovascular fitness.

Cocoa polyphenols are potent antioxidants that can increase nitric oxide production to help improve blood vessel dilation and blood flow.These processes can help maintain healthy blood pressure for those already within normal range. The enhanced circulatory benefits of cocoa have also been shown to improve brain function. Nutrim® oat bran beta-glucan also assists in the maintenance of already healthy blood sugar levels within normal ranges.

Research also supports the use of these nutrients to help maintain post-prandial (after meal) endothelial function.* Using CocoaGold™ with Beta Glucan can help maintain already healthy blood sugar levels and offer the cardiovascular benefits associated with high intake of polyphenols.

Just mix two scoops with your favorite beverage (best in coffee or other hot beverages) or blend with food to provide 1875 mg of oat beta-glucan extract along with 100 mg of standardized cocoa polyphenols.
