Black Forest Supercharged Cocoa Flavanols + Flavonoids Review

This product supplies cocoa flavanols and flavonoids, listed at 8.32 grams per serving. The label does not make clear how much of that amount is the active flavanols and how much is cocoa powder or other material, so the actual flavanol dose is uncertain. For the goal of fast relief from occasional heartburn and acid indigestion, we found no human studies testing cocoa flavanols. No trials showed improvement, and none showed a lack of effect, because none were done for this goal. Nothing in the research we reviewed explains how cocoa flavanols would calm heartburn or neutralize stomach acid quickly. The product has a large number of customer ratings, and most are positive. However, we could not read any written reviews, so we do not know whether buyers rated it for heartburn relief or for other reasons such as taste, energy or general health. Ratings alone cannot show that it works for this goal. Members looking for fast heartburn relief should treat this product as unproven for that purpose. Animal and cell studies are never counted.
