What are SuperCocoa™ Blood Flow Capsules?
Two heart health ingredients, dual-action. 1,200 mg of cocoa flavanols and flavonoids, to support nitric oxide production and blood vessel function, plus 10,800 FU of nattokinase, to support healthy fibrin and circulation.* It’s a new product. It sits beside our original Supercharged Cocoa, which isn’t going anywhere.
What’s in the 1,200 mg?
Cocoa flavanols and flavonoids. Cocoa flavanols, (-)-epicatechin among them, are the compounds the blood vessel studies measure. Flavonoids are the wider plant-compound family they belong to.
What does 10,800 FU mean?
FU means fibrinolytic units, the standard measure of nattokinase activity. The best-known randomized studies, including a three-year trial at the University of Southern California, used 2,000 FU, and most bottles stop there. One study followed 1,062 people taking 10,800 FU a day for a year. That’s the amount in every serving of ours.
Why cocoa and nattokinase in one bottle?
Because your circulation depends on two things your checkup doesn’t measure. Your arteries have to open wide, and your blood has to flow freely. Cocoa flavanols support nitric oxide production, the signal that tells your arteries to relax. Nattokinase supports your body’s natural ability to break down fibrin. Each one has its own research, and each one has its own amount on the label.*
What did the cocoa flavanol research find?
Better blood vessel function within hours. In 2017 a University of Düsseldorf team ran four randomized studies on 47 healthy volunteers. Two hours after a serving of cocoa flavanols, arteries widened more easily and were less stiff, and the effect grew when cocoa’s own theobromine and caffeine came with it.*
What did the nattokinase research find?
More of the body’s own fibrin breakdown, within hours. In 2015 a team at Ritsumeikan University in Japan gave 12 healthy young men a single 2,000 FU dose and, on another day, a placebo. Over the next eight hours the markers that show fibrin being broken down rose, and every value stayed inside the normal range.*
How do I take it?
Three capsules a day, with water, or as your health care professional recommends. Nothing to mix, nothing to taste.
What else is in the capsule?
Two things, both on the label: a vegetable capsule (hypromellose) and magnesium stearate from a vegetable source. It’s non-GMO and vegan, made in the USA with US and global ingredients in a GMP facility.
Is this replacing your Supercharged Cocoa?
No. SuperCocoa™ Blood Flow Capsules are a new product. The original Supercharged Cocoa stays exactly as it is, for anyone who wants the cocoa on its own.
Who should talk to a doctor first?
Do not use if you take anticoagulant (blood-thinning) or antiplatelet medication, including daily aspirin, or take NSAID pain relievers regularly; if you have a bleeding disorder; if you are pregnant or nursing; or within two weeks before or after surgery or dental work, unless your doctor advises it. Talk to your doctor first if you’re under 18 or take blood pressure or diabetes medication. Stop use and talk to your doctor if you notice unusual bruising or bleeding, or any other reaction. Keep out of reach of children.
Can I take it with my other Black Forest products?
Mostly yes, with one exception: other nattokinase. SuperCocoa™ Blood Flow Capsules already carry 10,800 FU. If you take another product with nattokinase in it, talk to your doctor before adding a second one. Our team can walk you through any other stacking question.
