Scientific Data

The lack of nutrients that are important for health is a common problem in today's society. A study conducted by the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP) and the University of São Paulo (USP) revealed that around 99% of the Brazilian population has insufficient vitamins and minerals in their bodies¹.

Although adults are aware of the importance of consuming vitamins and minerals, they often have difficulty ingesting the ideal amount. This problem is even more serious among children, whose palates tend to prefer sweets to healthy foods, aggravating the micronutrient deficiency⁴.

Providing children with the necessary nutrients is a challenge for parents and caregivers, especially when their intake of vegetables, legumes and fruits is insufficient. It is essential to find fun, healthy and tasty ways for children to meet their daily nutritional needs⁴.

Furthermore, several studies point to the benefits of cocoa for the cardiovascular system. The flavonoids present in cocoa can help with vasodilation and reducing blood pressure²,³.
