WHAT ARE THE 3 TREATS IN TRIPLE TREAT CHOCOLATE?


Why is the new Youngevity Chocolate a TRIPLE Treat?

1st TREAT FAIR TRADR &KOSHER CERTIFIED

Not only does it taste rich, creamy, and oh so yummy it stimulates endorphin production.
This gives us a feeling of pleasure and satisfaction. Boasting a healthy dose of serotonin (a mood lifter) and theobromide (a natural stimulant), cocoa contains healthy fats which do not impact cholesterol levels in healthy adults. Dark chocolate has many beneficial polyphenolic bioflavanoids that have powerful antioxidant properties which can actually help to protect you from damaging oxidative stress†. Harvard researchers recently found that cocoa flavanols (protective substances that are also abundant in dark chocolate) help improve blood flow to the brain, which could slow the mental decline that occurs as you age


2nd TREAT SUPER ANTIOXIDANT BLUEBERRIES

Wild Blueberries are super-rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants are warriors against free-radicals, the chemical buzz-bombs that compromise our health on a daily basis. Long touted as being an excellent source of dietary fiber, manganese and Vitamin C. Naturally fat-free, Blueberries have also been found to be beneficial in supporting urinary tract health. Although Blueberries are present in Youngevity® Triple Treat Chocolate, the only taste you will detect will be rich, creamy, chocolaty goodness!,


3rd TREAT PROPRIETARY BLEND

What is a probiotic? Probiotics are micro-organisms which are beneficial to the body by providing microbial balance to the intestine. According to the World Health Organization, by definition, a probiotic must be alive, beneficial and safe. Until now, the most common source of probiotics have been dairy products such as active yogurt cultures. Probiotics are beneficial in supporting regularity, healthy cholesterol levels, healthy blood pressure levels, and optimal immune function†. Because our probiotics are suspended in chocolate, 80% of the healthy bacteria will pass through to the intestine, which is exactly where it needs to be to do its job. That’s a much higher pass-through than you will find with most yogurts! There are over 500 million live healthy bacteria for every 8 grams of chocolate at the time of manufacture. The effective level will be maintained at least to the end of the “best by” date on the package.







ALLERGY INFORMATION: Contains: Soy. This product is manufactured on equipment that may also process milk, peanuts and other tree nuts, coconut, eggs and wheat.

The Sweet Truth About Chocolate and Your Heart Have you had your flavonoids today?


"What are flavonoids?
Flavonoids are naturally-occurring compounds found in plant-based foods that offer certain health benefits. "

"Are all types of chocolate healthy?
Before you grab a chocolate candy bar or slice of chocolate cake, it’s important to understand that not all forms of chocolate contain high levels of flavanols.

Cocoa naturally has a very strong, pungent taste, which comes from the flavanols. When cocoa is processed into your favorite chocolate products, it goes through several steps to reduce this taste. The more chocolate is processed (through things like fermentation, alkalizing, roasting, etc.), the more flavanols are lost. Most commercial chocolates are highly processed. Although it was once believed that dark chocolate contained the highest levels flavanols, recent research indicates that, depending on how the dark chocolate was processed, this may not be true. The good news is that most major chocolate manufacturers are looking for ways to keep the flavanols in their processed chocolates. But for now, your best choices are likely dark chocolate over milk chocolate (especially milk chocolate that is loaded with other fats and sugars), and cocoa powder that has not undergone Dutch processing (cocoa that is treated with an alkali to neutralize its natural acidity)."
