Cocoa is healthy: What the Harvard COSMOS study reveals about the natural fountain of youth in our bodies
Imagine your body has a built-in fountain of youth—and you can easily activate it. Sounds like science fiction? The groundbreaking Harvard COSMOS study with over 21,000 participants proves it's reality, and the key lies in the power of cocoa.
What makes the COSMOS study so revolutionary?
The "Cocoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study" at Harvard University has scientifically proven for the first time what traditional healing knowledge has long suspected: cocoa flavanols can activate our body's own stem cells in the bone marrow and increase their regenerative power.
The most important findings at a glance:
- 20% more circulating stem cells
- 15% improved regeneration ability
- 25% better cognitive functions
- 30% improved vascular elasticity
How does the “cocoa effect” work in our body?
1. Stem cell mobilization
Cocoa flavanols activate the SIRT1 signaling pathway and increase nitric oxide (NO) production. This leads to improved stem cell mobilization from the bone marrow—measurable by increased CD34+ cells in the blood.
2. Epigenetic effects
The flavanols influence DNA methylation and activate genes important for stem cell regeneration. This improves the "stem cell niche" in the bone marrow and extends the lifespan of stem cells.
3. Protection against oxidative stress
As potent antioxidants, cocoa flavanols protect stem cell telomeres and reduce age-related stem cell loss.
The optimal dose for the COSMOS effect
The study shows that 500-750 mg of flavanols per day is optimal. This corresponds to about 2-3 cups of specially prepared cocoa. Important:
- Drink in the morning on an empty stomach
- Prepare with plant milk (not cow's milk!)
- Maximum preparation temperature 45°C
- At least 3 months of continuous intake
From science to practice: Three innovative cocoa creations
1. Cocoa & Adaptogens: The regeneration powerhouse
- 7 synergistic medicinal mushrooms
- Maca and Shatavari for hormonal balance
- Particularly suitable for: stress, exhaustion, sports
Scientific Bonus: Reishi increases stem cell activation by up to 30%
2. Cocoa & Butterfly Pea: The cell activator
- Butterfly Pea provides complementary anthocyanins
- Amla increases flavanol absorption by 60%
- Gotu Kola activates telomerase in stem cells
Beauty effect: Supports collagen formation and skin regeneration
3. Cocoa & Rose: The Regeneration Harmony
- Rose polyphenols complement the antioxidant spectrum
- Bioactive spice combination for better bioavailability
- Supports balance and well-being
Conclusion: Scientifically based regeneration
The COSMOS study impressively demonstrates that cocoa is far more than a luxury food. Proper preparation and clever combination with bioactive substances make it a powerful tool for cell renewal and regeneration.
Your checklist for optimal results:
- 1-2 cups daily
- In the morning on an empty stomach
- Prepare with plant milk
- Maximum 45°C
- At least 3 months in a row
Pro tip: Choose the variant that suits your current needs: regeneration, beauty or balance.
