General Questions
SWISS ELEMENT 365 is a dietary supplement for chocolate lovers. Each tablet contains 200 mg of naturally preserved cocoa flavanols, which help support the healthy circulation of nutrients and oxygen in the body. *
It is created from a proprietary formula developed by The Swiss Institute for Health & Aging Well.
Flavanols are a group of natural plant-produced compounds found in foods and beverages like wine, tea, fruits, berries and cocoa beans. Within the group, cocoa beans are unique for their extraordinarily high level of flavanols.
In clinical studies, cocoa flavanols have been shown to activate nitric oxide (NO), which is responsible for relaxing the blood vessels, allowing the increased flow of blood and oxygen to the heart, brain and other parts of the body. Healthy blood flow leads to better energy, improved sleep and enhanced memory.
During conventional chocolate production, only 9% of the natural cocoa flavanol is retained. In contrast, SWISS ELEMENT 365 uses a processing technique that preserves 50% of these naturally occurring flavanols. This mild, time consuming and cost intensive processing, coupled with strictly controlled cocoa bean sourcing, resulted in a unique chocolate.
Each 14-gram (slightly less than ½ – ounce) tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365 contains 200 mg of cocoa flavanols. This is the exact amount approved by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) as the daily intake necessary to maintain healthy blood flow by helping to maintain the elasticity and flexibility of blood vessels.*
No. The taste of SWISS ELEMENT 365 is rich and authentic, similar to the flavors we love in a traditional chocolate. Our proprietary chocolate formula was developed to allow 200 mg of cocoa flavanols to be captured in a small 14-gram chocolate tablet (a little less than ½ – ounce) without compromising the exceptional taste or the velvety smoothness of the chocolate.
In order to help support proper blood flow, 200 mg of cocoa flavanols should be consumed daily. This amount is provided by less than ½ – ounce (14-gram) tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365, and should be consumed in the context of a varied and balanced diet.
It’s unusual to find something to eat or drink that tastes great, offers a totally enjoyable experience and is actually good for you, all at the same time. We love the idea that there is a luxurious indulgence that provides the nutritional support you need to help staying healthy as you age.
As we age, plaque builds up in our arteries and narrows the passages used to supply blood to our vital organs. In addition, aging reduces the elasticity of our arteries making it even more difficult for the blood to flow through our cardiovascular system. Reduced blood flow shrinks the amount of oxygen and nutrients that support normal organ function and cell growth. Accordingly, it is vital to maintain elasticity of the blood vessels and healthy blood circulation in the body.
Clinical studies suggest we take one tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365 (a little less than ½ – ounce) each day. It doesn’t matter when you take it, but you should try to take it close to the same time each day. Because it can have an immediate and positive effect, we recommend to take it with breakfast.
As SWISS ELEMENT 365 melts in your mouth, you will sense a cooling effect, somewhat similar to the taste of a mint. Swiss Element 365 is changing from a solid to a liquid. This is the point at which it should be swallowed. The flavanols in SWISS ELEMENT 365 were originally bound together by the molecular structure of the cocoa matrix. As they melt at your body temperature, they are freed to flow into your circulatory system.
The clinical trials showed that a daily intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, contained in each tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365, produced measurable effects in blood circulation after an 8-week consecutive period.
The daily consumption of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, contained in a ½ – ounce tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365, not only supports healthy circulation overtime, but has an immediate impact on blood flow, with the peak effect occurring after two hours and lasting 6-8 hours.
The daily consumption of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, contained in each 14-gram block of SWISS ELEMENT 365, not only supports blood vessel health overtime, but has an immediate impact on blood flow, with the peak effect occurring after two hours and lasting 6-8 hours.
The clinical trials showed that a daily intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, contained in each tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365, produced measurable effects in blood circulation after an 8-week consecutive period. However, maintaining healthy circulation of nutrients and oxygen in the body is a part a long-term commitment to a healthy lifestyle. Accordingly, as with any dietary supplement, we recommend that you consult with your physician before adding SWISS ELEMENT 365 to your daily diet.
Our proprietary chocolate formula was developed to allow 200 mg of cocoa flavanols to be captured in a small 14 – gram chocolate tablet (a little less than ½ – ounce) without compromising the exceptional taste or the velvety smoothness of the chocolate. Therefore, only a small amount of SWISS ELEMENT 365 needs to be consumed on a daily basis, whereas with other products like wine, tea, etc., unsustainably large quantities would need to be consumed to obtain the same benefits.
Clinical studies have shown that an excess of the natural flavanols that are present in some plant-based foods and beverages are excreted by the human body in an entirely natural way. However, we recommend taking only one pre-measured tablet of SWISS ELEMENT 365 daily, as part of a varied and balanced diet.
SWISS ELEMENT 365 is a dietary supplement and is not intended for use by children.
As with any dietary supplement, if you are pregnant, nursing, have existing medical conditions, or are taking any medication, we recommend that you consult with your physician before adding SWISS ELEMENT 365 to your daily diet.
