Effects of continuous cacao consumption

Ongoing consumption of cacao has been reported to have various positive effects on both the mind and body.

These range from relaxation and mood stability to improved concentration and memory, and even benefits for beauty and health, such as skin and sleep. Both domestic and international studies have shown that consistent consumption over several weeks to months yields these positive effects.

Introducing a paper on the effects of cacao

Beauty and Health Benefits

  • Improved Blood Pressure and Vascular Function
    Numerous studies report that regular consumption of dark chocolate leads to reduced blood pressure and improved endothelial function.

  • Protection from UV Damage
    Women who consumed high-flavanol chocolate for 12 weeks experienced a reduction in UV-induced skin redness (erythema response).

•Improved Skin Elasticity and Hydration
Women who consumed high-flavanol chocolate for 24 weeks showed improved skin moisture content and elasticity.

Mood enhancement

Daily intake of cocoa polyphenols contained in dark chocolate beverages for 30 days statistically confirmed improvements in "calmness" and "contentment."

Improved cognitive function and memory

・Improved Memory

Subjects aged 50-69 consumed a 450 mg high-flavanol beverage twice daily for 3 months. Visual memory scores returned to levels from several decades prior.

・Changes in Cerebral Blood Flow and Hippocampal Volume

Changes in brain activity in the frontal and parietal lobes were observed in approximately one week. Continuous intake for 3 months increased hippocampal blood flow and improved memory.

・Improved Cognitive Function

8 weeks (approx. 2 months) of cocoa flavanol intake improved cognitive performance and metabolic markers (e.g., insulin resistance).

Month 1: Feel the difference

・Some users may start to feel "skin hydration and elasticity support," as reported in overseas research.

・Incorporating it into your routine can naturally lead to a relaxing habit.

Two Months: Towards Habits that Regulate Body and Mind

・Supports blood flow and vascular function

・Mood swings are alleviated, making it easier to focus on daily life.

3+ months: Effects become more apparent with continued use.

・Research has confirmed the positive effects of continued use on brain and memory function.

・Noticeable changes also tend to occur in beauty (skin moisture and elasticity) and health (vascular support).
