1,200 mg of cacao flavanols. Promotes endothelial nitric oxide synthase activity for vasodilation, vascular endurance, and faster between-session recovery.
One scoop. 60–90 minutes pre-workout. Or morning ritual for daily vascular health.
The studied dose linked to a 14% increase in flow-mediated dilation (Schroeter PNAS 2006). Built to the COSMOS dose. Same SKU as Heart Health and Menopause, framed for movement.
Other ingredients: none. No fillers. No proprietary blends. No preservatives.
One scoop. Eight ounces of warm oat milk or hot water.
Best timing for performance: 60–90 minutes pre-workout. Plasma nitric-oxide markers peak in that window. For daily vascular health, morning with breakfast works equally well — outcomes accumulate with consistency.
Naturally caffeinated (~12 mg per serving, about a quarter of a cup of coffee).
The athletes who switched to cacao flavanols didn't do it for marketing. They did it because the dose hit a measurable ceiling on flow-mediated dilation that their pre-workouts couldn't.
Caffeine, citrulline, beta-alanine: each pushes a different lever, but none directly upregulate endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS). That's why pre-workouts plateau on circulation while still delivering acute energy. The cap is vascular, not muscular.
Schroeter isolated (–)-epicatechin as the cocoa monomer that raises eNOS activity and produces measurable 14% increase in flow-mediated dilation in healthy adults. CCV-3® delivers 600 mg of standardized epicatechin per scoop, taken 60 to 90 minutes before training.
CCV-3® delivers the studied dose, in one daily ritual. The mechanism and the dose line up with what the trials measured. Same SKU as the Heart and Menopause rituals. Framed for movement.
Each pillar is a measured outcome from peer-reviewed cacao flavanol research.
Cacao flavanols promote vasodilation by supporting nitric oxide synthesis — the foundational pathway endothelial cells use to regulate vascular tone.
Heiss et al · J Cardiovasc Pharmacol · 2010Improved cerebral blood flow correlates with measurable gains in working memory and processing speed across multiple controlled trials.
Brickman et al · Nat Neurosci · 2014Daily flavanol intake at studied doses improves flow-mediated dilation — the gold-standard measure of vascular health.
Schroeter et al · PNAS · 2006Naturally occurring 12mg of caffeine and theobromine deliver clean morning lift — no jitters, no afternoon crash, no synthetic stimulants.
Cacao flavanols rank among the highest natural antioxidants by ORAC score, neutralizing oxidative stress in vascular tissue.
Vinson et al · J Agric Food Chem · 2006The COSMOS trial measured a 27% reduction in cardiovascular death over 3.6 years — the strongest cacao nutrition outcome ever published.
COSMOS Trial · Am J Clin Nutr · 2022Cacao flavanols are one of the most studied cardiovascular nutrients in the published literature.
"Daily cacao flavanol supplementation reduced cardiovascular death by 27% over 3.6 years in a large generally-healthy adult population."
"Epicatechin from cacao improved flow-mediated dilation by 14% in healthy adults — the gold-standard measure of vascular function."
"High-flavanol cacao intake reversed dentate gyrus age-related decline by an estimated 11 years on neurocognitive testing."
No marketing fluff, just numbers. Compare like for like.
If it does not earn a place on the label, it does not make it into the jar.
A single source. A single dose. A single way to make it.
Morning is best. Flavanols pair with daily routines. Take it the same way every day for the cumulative cardiovascular benefit COSMOS measured over 3.6 years.
