chocolate probiotic "xobiotic"
Can you imagine...eating chocolate and getting your probiotic preventative needs met? This February Xocai Chocolate is launching a Chocolate Pro-Biotic called the XoBiotic. Probiotics are dietary supplements and live microorganisms containing potentially beneficial bacteria or yeasts.
Why take it in a Chocolate form? Chocolate appears to be the ideal delivery system for probiotics. As shown in this chart dark chocolate has been shown to be far superior to milk as a delivery system for Probiotics.
The Xoçai™ XoBiotic™ chocolate will be in the form of an 11-gram square and will deliver 200,000,000 microorganisms of two types—lactobacillus acidophilus and bifidobacterium lactis. These probiotics have been selected for our probiotic chocolate because of their stability in chocolate and their guaranteed nine-month shelf life if properly stored as recommended for all Xoçai™ products (40*F – 75*F). By marrying the health benefits of dark chocolate with those of these two probiotic cultures, which have a positive influence on immune and gut health, we gain new opportunities with health-conscious consumers. Presently there are no approved health claims on probiotics in the US. Our label will most likely state, “Contains acidophilus and bifidolactis; probiotics have been shown to benefit digestive and immune health.”
