Before MXI Corp, they founded Pure De-lite™ Products, Inc., which was recognized as one of the leading distributors of low-carb, sugar-free products in the United States. Pure De-lite™ chocolates have achieved top honors and accolades from companies such as the American Culinary Institute, CNN, and Health & Fitness as “The Best Low-Carb, Sugar-Free Chocolates” in the marketplace.
What is Xoçai™?
Xoçai™ (Sho-sái) – The name Xoçai™ consists of the first two letters of the Aztec word, “Xocolatl,” an ancient Central-American chocolate drink, and the last three letters of “Açaí,” a berry found in the Amazon Rain Forest.
Chocolate
The Greek term “Theobroma Cacao” literally means “Food of the gods.”
Cacao, or Chocolate, originated with the Olmec Indians in 1500 B.C. Mayans and Aztecs used cacao in a royal chocolate drink called Xocolatl. Xocolatl progressed to a favored beverage of the European elite. “The divine drink builds up resistance and fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink (cacao) permits a man to walk for a whole day without food.” Montezuma ll.
From antiquity to the present, chocolate has been one of the most beloved products, and for more than 90% of its history chocolate has been consumed as a beverage. Although many health benefits have been attributed to chocolate during its 3,500- year history, the full extent of its contributions to human health is only now being brought to light through modern technology and research. MXI Corp has perfectly balanced the flavor profile of Xoçai Activ™ while protecting the essential antioxidant properties in cacao powder, known specifically as flavonoids. Research has demonstrated that flavonoids play an important role in protecting the cacao plant. Further research has concluded that these same natural protective compounds in cacao beans, when consumed by humans, help maintain health by protecting cells from the damaging effects of free radicals.
Xoçai Activ™ is produced with rich European unprocessed, nonalkalized, nonlecithinized cacao powder that is high in antioxidants due to a closely monitored fermentation, drying, and cold-press process. Because these processes are closely monitored, Xoçai Activ™ delivers the optimum amount of the antioxidants found in the all-natural cacao powder.
Açaí
The super antioxidant berry from the Amazon Rain Forest Açaí (ah-sigh–ee) is a high-energy berry harvested on co-op farms from a special Amazon palm tree. Açaí berries contain amino acids, essential fatty acids (Omega 6 and 9), and higher amounts of antioxidants than any other fruit. The açaí berry has over 14 times more antioxidants than raw spinach, and 10 to 30 times more anthocyanins than red wine. Emerging world of antioxidants What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are molecules which prevent the damaging effects of oxygen free radicals in the body. The damage caused by oxygen free radicals is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation are bananas turning brown when left on the countertop, or the rusting of iron. How are antioxidants measured? /font>The antioxidants in any food are measured by its capacity to absorb free radicals. ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) values as determined by the U.S. Dept. of Agriculture measure the capacity of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals. The chart to the right contains the ORAC values of several high-antioxidant foods. Indulge your health The shocking good news is that dark chocolate is packed with potent antioxidants called flavonoids. Researchers have found that flavonoids found in cacao powder contain diverse beneficial phytonutrients and antioxidants.Cacao beans contain over 300 chemically identifiable compounds making it one of the most complex food substances on Earth.
ORAC and the USDA
The USDA website recommends a Daily Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000 ORAC.
However, recent studies have suggested that more active lifestyles require higher levels of antioxidants. Xoçai Activ™ is produced with some of the world’s most powerful super foods – unprocessed cacao powder and the açaí berry. As a result, one ounce of Xoçai Activ™ taken three times per day exceeds the high end of the USDA’s Antioxidant Recommended Daily Intake of 5,000 ORAC. Xoçai Activ™ should be a vital part of a balanced diet and an active lifestyle. * Based on standard ORAC testing of selected production samples. ORAC Values may vary. ORAC Values‡ of Top
