CocoaVia Heart and Brain Supplement, Unsweetened Dark Chocolate Drink Mix, 450 mg of Cocoa Flavanols to Support Heart Health, 30 Servings

I absolutely love the flavor of Cacao, but knowing that most other forms of supplementation (nibs, powder) tend to be rather high in cadmium, I've found CocoaVia to be a safer and extremely tasty alternative. The fact that they offer an unsweetened, dark version is fantastic. It is fairly pricey when you consider the alternative methods, but the lab results on the purity of their product, the great taste, and the convenient packaging, make this a worthwhile product in my books.

My life has changed since taking these amazing packets. I mix half a packet in my oatmeal and the other half in my coffee every morning. Some times I'll put them in a milkshake or smoothie. Took me a bit to notice the benefits and I'm so glad I stuck with it. I first notice a difference in my recovery when working out. I noticed increased stamina and more energy. I then started to feel mentally sharper and my wife was no longer giving me a hard time for not remembering things. Lastly, I have healthy BP and cholesterol levels and am the lightest I've been in 10 years. I've never felt better and healthier. I recommend CocoaVia to all my friends and family.

The best way I know of to imbibe those flavanols without sugar or added fat. Use a knife to clearly swipe off the top (tearing often makes a mess). Fill a large wine glass halfway with almond milk, then add the powder so that it floats on top. Add a swig of raw honey, then swirl to thoroughly mix with a good quality handheld coffee frother. Tastes divine! Also works in raspberry juice cause we all know about that thing between chocolate and raspberry. Wish they remove the maltodextrin though.

I use this in my coffee with a splash of dark chocolate almond milk. I don't like sweet coffee beverages, but I have found that it needs something to cut the bitterness. I can't say whether it has improved my cognitive function, but I enjoy it as a beverage and I have not found it grainy like some of the reviewers have noted. I am still looking for a more cost effective cocoa that is processed in a way to maximize the health benefits and will dissolve in liquid, so if anyone else has tried one please let me know.

This is a wonderful product! Unfortunately, the company does a poor job of shipping it. It comes in a soft mailer, which is often crushed. My last shipment, which was similarly crushed, had cocoa powder burst through the individual packets and throughout the mailer. It was a cocoa mess. I wish the company would ship its product in a box instead of a soft mailer.

I've used this product for several years and constantly encourage friends/family to try it! I have noticed a huge improvement in my energy and overall sense of wellness. I highly suggest that if you are looking to try a supplement with NO SUGAR, NO PRESERVATIVES that will improve your daily functions. Look no further.You can thank me later!

I have throughly enjoyed the individual packets, have had a monthly subscription for them for around two years, this month they have discontinued the individual packets, replacing with a bulk jar & scoop. Not only is the volume of a scoop inconsistent from scoop to scoop, but the product is very different in taste, texture and color. It used to be if I traveled, I could conveniently take as many of the packets as needed, now I have to take the jar and scale to get even dosing, the scoop is a joke. My only hope is if enough folks complain they return to their original formula and packets. I have discontinued my subscription just after trying one scoop.

This is a great value if you want a lot of cocoa flavinols without the cadmium (common to chocolate products) inherent usually (per Consumer Labs independent findings). Besides human health, the company actually appears give a hoot, according to a response I got about where the cocoa beans are sourced: "... Mars Symbioscience, the maker of CocoaVia™ supplement, is one of the few companies that can actually trace its beans back to the Indonesian farmers who grow the cocoa and our Cocoa Trace sytem focuses on ensuring farmers get fair wages while maintaining the highest quality standards in the beans we use." HOORAY!
