Blood Flow+ CocoActiv™ Cocoa Flavanol Tablets, 28 Vegan Tabs

It's hard to get cacao supplements in the UK, and if you do, it's hard to trust what's in them. I trust this company, having done a deep dive into their structure and ethos. These cocoa flavanols are 200 mg per tablet, which is a good dose. It's the minimum dose shown to have brain-boosting effects, and to do this, you do have to take it consistently for the maximum effect. If you take a one-off tab, you certainly will increase blood flow. If you have low body fat, you'll likely notice your veins slightly fuller after about an hour. Cacao flavanols (the main plant chemicals in chocolate) seem to last for about 2 to 6 hours. I would take a couple or three of these pills on the day I write. Cacao has been shown to increase things like memory, attention span, and word fluency. Perfect for a writer. The tablets are small and don't smell of anything. I'd take them alongside a chunk of dark chocolate to help absorption. I know that seems like defeating the purpose of taking a pill, but it doesn't really. You'd need lots of dark chocolate to get the same levels of flavanol in a pill. The chunk of simultaneous dark chocolate adds some fat, which helps absorption, but it has a mix of other cocoa chemicals that also do the same. Sometimes pill versions don't have all of these. Pricey, slightly, but good. Ignore the reviews from those who say they don't work. They don't understand the research, or indeed the true benefit of these.

Been taking for 3 weeks, don't know yet if it's doing any good. Will wait till my next check up and see what the results are.

Customer question Would it be a suitable supplement for Vampires? Ha! While the Blood Flow+ Supplements are designed to support healthy blood circulation in humans, I'm afraid they wouldn't be quite what vampires are looking for! These cocoa flavanol supplements help maintain blood vessel elasticity and promote normal blood flow - which is brilliant for cardiovascular health - but they're meant to keep your own blood flowing properly, not to supplement a vampire's dietary requirements. For fictional vampire nutrition, you'd probably need something a bit more... substantial than cocoa extract capsules! Customer question Can you suggest a more appropriate supplement? I'm afraid I can't recommend supplements for vampires, as they're fictional creatures! However, if we're having a bit of fun with this: For vampires' traditional dietary needs, there really isn't a suitable supplement on Amazon - they'd need to stick to their usual sources. The Blood Flow+ Supplements are specifically formulated to improve human circulation, not to provide sustenance for supernatural beings. If you're looking for something more theatrical - perhaps for a vampire costume party or role-playing - you might be better off searching for fake blood capsules or theatrical props instead of actual health supplements! Is there anything else I can help you find for your actual health and wellness needs? Customer question You're a wag Rufus. Thankyou. You're very welcome! I do enjoy a bit of banter when the situation calls for it. Though I must say, the vampire question was definitely a first for me - not exactly covered in the usual supplement consultation training! I'm glad I could help, even if it was just for a laugh. If you have any serious health and wellness questions or need recommendations for actual circulation supplements, I'm always here to help.
