Why people choose Mindkore
8 clear reasons why Mindkore stands out as a biohacker-grade cacao.
The current batch measures 9.63% total cacao flavanols. That gives you 482 mg per 5 g serving and 964 mg at 10 g.
This batch provides 16.9 mg/g epicatechin, equal to 84.5 mg per 5 g serving and 169 mg at 10 g.
Mindkore contains only non-alkalized cacao powder. It is not diluted with added sugar, fats or other ingredients, and its natural antioxidant profile is retained. This makes Mindkore cacao a perfectly natural and guilt-free routine supplement
Mindkore is positioned as one of the most transparent cacao companies in the industry. We publish a detailed and single origin CoA and document the batch clearly.
The current batch is independently analysed by Eurofins. Mindkore has been inspected by the Dutch Food and Consumer Product Safety Authority (NVWA), including a review of our website and food-safety procedures. We operate with a HACCP-based food safety system and within the European food supplement framework.
A 5 g serving already provides a meaningful amount of flavanols. Depending on processing, this can be several times the flavanol density of natural supermarket cocoa and more than 20 times that of heavily alkalized cocoa. Compared with milk chocolate, the difference per gram can exceed 100-fold.
We combine carefully selected cacao blends to preserve the deep, familiar cacao taste people actually want to consume. Mindkore is not an isolated flavanol extract. It is real cacao with a rich, rounded flavour that is every bit as impressive as its unusually high flavanol concentration.
We ship Mindkore worldwide and do not add surprise store taxes to the price you see. The displayed product price is the price you pay to Mindkore. For destinations outside the European Union, local customs duties or import charges may still be collected by your country.
Production journey
This graphic shows the journey behind the product: harvesting, opening the pods, fermenting and drying the beans, roasting, shell removal, grinding and the final cacao powder stage.
Transparency
Transparency is one of Mindkore’s clearest strengths. We place extensive batch work under one accredited laboratory partner, Eurofins, and present the most important results in a detailed Certificate of Analysis. The result is a cleaner, more verifiable overview than most cacao sellers provide.
That means you can check flavanols, epicatechin, heavy metals and other relevant data in one place. The CoA is also available on request.

If you want high-flavanol cacao with crystal clear documentation, Mindkore was built for exactly that.
Researchers have studied cocoa flavanols in many different ways, from short cognitive tests to exercise studies, skin measurements, brain imaging and long term cardiovascular research.
In a controlled study using about 681 mg of cocoa flavanols, researchers saw a faster brain oxygen response. Participants also solved demanding cognitive problems 11% faster than after a very low flavanol control. In practical terms, the study tested how quickly people could work through difficult mental tasks under controlled conditions.
In a two week crossover trial with flavanol rich dark chocolate, researchers found a higher gas exchange threshold and better performance in a short time trial. The gas exchange threshold is a marker used during exercise testing to show when breathing and energy demand begin to rise more sharply.
In an eight week study, cognitively healthy older adults received cocoa drinks containing 48, 520 or 993 mg of flavanols per day. Researchers found better performance on specific tests of executive function and verbal fluency in the higher intake groups. These tests look at skills such as switching between tasks, processing information and quickly producing words.
In a 12 week high flavanol cocoa study, researchers measured skin blood flow, hydration, density, roughness and the response to controlled UV exposure. Participants showed less UV induced redness together with improvements in several of the measured skin parameters.
A three month intervention using 900 mg of cocoa flavanols combined brain imaging with memory related testing. Researchers found increased cerebral blood volume in the dentate gyrus, a small part of the hippocampus that is involved in memory. The study therefore looked at both a measurable brain change and cognitive performance.
Cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood flow. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 200 mg of cocoa flavanols, DP1 to DP10. For cocoa powder, the authorised claim applies to a cocoa beverage that provides this daily intake. This is the health effect in this timeline that has been formally authorised in the EU.
Cocoa flavanol research varies widely in dose, duration, participants and measured outcomes. Current Mindkore batch MK-081642 has now been independently analysed at 96.3 mg/g total cacao flavanols and 16.9 mg/g epicatechin. Publishing these batch specific values makes it possible to compare the product composition transparently with the doses used in the scientific literature, without implying that a matching dose guarantees the same result.
The EU authorised claim above may be used only when its conditions of use are met. A varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle are important.
