The Beauty of Collagen + Cacao

Why Cacao? A Research Summary
Our partnership with Max Chocolatier is grounded in solid science. Research shows that cacao is much more than a treat. Cacao, which comes from the cacao tree and is the main ingredient in chocolate, is exceptionally rich in polyphenols, especially flavonoids like epicatechin, catechin, and procyanidins.
Research-backed benefits of Cacao include:
- Cardiovascular Benefits: Cacao intake reliably improves blood vessel function, lowers blood pressure, promotes healthy blood lipid profiles, and reduces cardiovascular disease risk, largely via increased nitric oxide production, a key vasodilator for healthier circulation and blood pressure.
- Skin Protection & Anti-Ageing: Cacao helps help protect the skin from sun damage, oxidative stress, and support its natural collagen matrix. Trials show flavanol-rich cacao increases skin hydration, elasticity, and reduces visible wrinkles.
- Brain, Mood & Cognitive Function: Cacao boosts blood flow to the brain, can enhance cognitive performance (especially under stress), and positively affects mood through biologically active compounds such as anandamide (aka bliss molecule) and methylxanthines (theobromine, caffeine).
- Metabolic health: Research links cacao intake to improved blood sugar control, reduced inflammation, and possible support for weight and appetite regulation.
- Circulation & Mitochondrial Function:
Clinical trials show cacao improves capillary density, mitochondrial function in muscle, and walking performance in patients with circulatory concerns - Antioxidant & Anti-Inflammatory Effects:
Cacao flavanols scavenge free radicals, reduce inflammation, and may lower the risks of chronic diseases, including some cancers - Safety note: While some chocolate products may contain varying amounts of heavy metals, the health risks depend on the levels and your overall diet. Managing exposure (for example, by choosing reputable chocolate brands) and lifestyle habits (like promoting excretion through sweat) can help mitigate concerns.
