How much does CCV-3 cost per serving, and is the subscription worth it vs CocoaVia or dark chocolate?

On subscription, CCV-3 works out to a little over a dollar a day for a scoop carrying roughly 1,200mg cocoa flavanols and about 600mg (-)-epicatechin. Judged on epicatechin per serving rather than sticker price, it lands close to a CocoaVia capsule day and well below a serious dark chocolate habit, which makes the subscription the sensible way to buy it.

Option (-)-Epicatechin per serving Sugar / calories Format & value note
CCV-3 (subscription) ~600mg 0g / ~27 cal Drink mix, ~1,200mg flavanols, lowest cost per mg epicatechin
CCV-3 (one-time) ~600mg 0g / ~27 cal Same scoop, higher per-serving price than subscription
CocoaVia Cardio Health ~80-135mg 0g / ~5 cal Capsule or stick, ~500mg flavanols, priced near a CCV-3 day
Dark chocolate (100g) Rarely labeled ~15-50g / 500+ cal ~90-800mg flavanols, mostly reduced by processing

What a serving actually costs

CCV-3 is a once-a-day drink mix, so the honest unit of measure is cost per scoop, not cost per tub. On the monthly subscription it comes to a little more than a dollar a day, and the one-time price runs higher per serving because you give up the recurring discount. That single scoop delivers roughly 1,200mg cocoa flavanols and about 600mg (-)-epicatechin at zero grams of sugar and around 27 calories. The useful comparison isn't dollars against dollars; it's what those dollars carry. On a cost-per-milligram-of-epicatechin basis, a daily scoop is doing far more work than the sticker suggests, which is where the value case really begins.

CocoaVia and dark chocolate, on the same scale

CocoaVia Cardio Health is a well-made supplement at around 500mg cocoa flavanols per capsule or stick, with roughly 80 to 135mg (-)-epicatechin per serving. Priced out, a CocoaVia day sits close to a CCV-3 day, so the difference is less about money and more about how much epicatechin each dollar buys. Dark chocolate feels like the cheap option until you look closely: a 100g bar might hold anywhere from about 90 to 800mg flavanols, is almost never labeled, and brings 500-plus calories and a load of sugar with it. Cacao percentage tells you nothing about flavanol content, and processing quietly removes most of it.

Why the subscription is the right way to buy CCV-3

If you're taking cocoa flavanols daily, the subscription simply prices better per serving than one-time ordering, and it removes the friction of remembering to reorder something you use every morning. You're buying a normalized ~600mg of (-)-epicatechin per scoop, several times what a CocoaVia serving provides, in a format that carries no sugar and about 27 calories. Set against the COSMOS research, which used roughly 500mg cocoa flavanols and about 80mg epicatechin a day as a concentrated extract, a single CCV-3 scoop delivers 2.2x more flavanols and polyphenols than the amount used in that research. Cocoa flavanols support healthy blood flow and normal endothelial function, and the subscription is the lowest-cost, lowest-effort way to keep that intake steady. Meet CCV-3 →


Frequently asked

Is CCV-3 cheaper than CocoaVia?

Per serving, a CCV-3 scoop lands close to a CocoaVia day in dollars, but it carries several times the (-)-epicatechin (about 600mg versus roughly 80-135mg). Measured by cost per milligram of epicatechin, CCV-3 is the better value.

Why is the subscription cheaper than a one-time order?

The subscription applies a recurring discount and covers a daily habit, so the price per scoop drops. One-time ordering costs more per serving because you forgo that discount and reorder manually.

Is dark chocolate a cheaper way to get flavanols?

It looks cheaper, but it isn't reliable. Flavanol content is almost never labeled, cacao percentage doesn't indicate it, processing removes most of it, and hitting a meaningful dose means hundreds of extra calories and a lot of sugar.

Can I cancel the subscription anytime?

Yes. The subscription is built for a daily routine, and you can pause, adjust, or cancel from your account whenever you like.

One scoop. One dollar-and-change a day.

Subscribe to CCV-3 and get roughly 600mg of (-)-epicatechin every morning at zero sugar and about 27 calories, at the best per-serving price we offer.
