Features & Description
Xocai XoBiotic Squares are made with healthy dark chocolate that has been infused with probiotic microorganisms. So what does this mean?Probiotic means "fit for life," or "pro life." Probiotics are living microorganisms which when administered effectively in adequate amounts confer health benefits.
The adult intestinal tract is home to approximately 100 trillion microorganisms. More than 400 different bacterial species have already been identified in the intestinal tract.
According to the American College of Gastroenterology, 95 million Americans suffer from digestive problems. Some 60 million have heartburn, 50 million have irritable bowel syndrome, and 20 million suffer from stomach ulcers.
Many, many new probiotic products have been launched in North America and Europe. But Xocai has a distinct advantage because chocolate appears to be the ideal delivery system for probiotics, far superior to milk.
First, in order to be effective, probiotics must contain bacteria which are resistant to stomach acids and bile salts. Secondly, the bacteria must have the capacity to compete successfully with the indigenous intestinal bacteria.
So, either the bacteria must be protected by the use of encapsulation techniques or new types of foods must be developed which offer increased protection for the bacteria.
The key to the effectiveness of probiotic treatment is for the bacteria to be able to pass through the stomach and the small intestines reaching the large intestines with sufficient strength to colonize and flourish.
SHIME stands for "The Simulator of the Human Intestinal Microbial Ecosystem." This in vitro system was created to simulate the activities and conditions found in the stomach, small intestines, and large intestines.
This enables scientists to monitor the quantity of bacteria that survive the journey to the large intestines. And, it also enables them to monitor the development of the bacterial colonies in the large intestines.
Each 11-gram XoBiotic Square will deliver 1 billion microorganisms of two types - Lactobacillus Helveticus R0052 and Bifido Bacterium Longum R0175.
These probiotics have been selected for our probiotic chocolate because of their stability in chocolate and their guaranteed shelf life equal to the shelf life of the chocolate itself, if properly stored as recommended for all Xocai products (40*F - 75*F).
The bottom line: Xocai XoBiotic Squares combine the health benefits of dark chocolate with probiotic cultures which have a positive influence on immune and gut health.
Each case ordered contains 84 pieces and costs $125.00 per case, which includes shipping & handling.
