Chocamine® is a cocoa plant extract that embodies the health benefits of dark chocolate but without the sugar or fat. It contains beneficial antioxidants, increases energy, suppresses appetite, promotes fat burning, improves mood, improves concentration, increases alertness, and improves physical performance.
Chocolate is the number one craved food in North America - and with good reason. Researchers have found that certain compounds in chocolate cause the brain to release endorphins, chemicals that make us feel good. Other compounds help normalize appetite, increase energy, improve cognitive function and suppress cravings. As the amount of scientific data supporting chocolate's health benefits continues to grow, the corresponding media attention is driving consumer's interest in chocolate's unique and healthy benefits, which in turn is driving the market for chocolate-based bioactives.
Chocamine® is a patented cocoa extract (US patent 7,048,941) containing the compounds associated with these health benefits, but without the calories, fat or dairy found in chocolate candy. In addition to the hedonic ingredients thought to cause chocolate cravings, Chocamine® is standardized for several other important phytochemicals. These include proven, safe and natural non-ephedra thermogenic compounds, as well as mood and cognitive performance-enhancing substances. The beneficial effects of chocolate come from more than one component and Chocamine® is the only cocoa extract that combines the sensory benefits of chocolate with several of the bioactive compounds in a unique and synergistic blend.
