Esthechoc is the newest creation of a group of scientist in Cambridge University in England that promises answer for wrinkles and sagging skin. How does it work? Researchers claim that Esthechoc contains ingredients that boost antioxidant levels and circulation that prevent old age lines and keep the skin glowing.
Creators of Esthechoc claim that eating one 7.5 grams of the chocolate daily can provide fast and visible results in a span of three weeks, according to Daily Mail. It has 72 percent cocoa content.
The new Esthechoc, also known as Cambridge Beauty Chocolate improves skin microcirculation, supports oxygen saturation, and enhances skin detoxication and nutrition."
According to its website, Esthechoc is also the "most exquisite functional dark chocolate" that comes from 4mg of Astaxanthin algae extracts, and 11mg of Epicatechin Polyphenols in the form of Astacelles.
"We saw that inflammation in the skin started to go down and the tissues began to benefit," Ivan Petyaev, former researcher at Cambridge University and founder of Esthechoc told The Telegraph. "We used people in their 50s and 60s and in terms of skin biomarkers we found it had brought skin back to the levels of a 20 or 30 year old. So we've improved the skin's physiology."
Aside from the promising work of Esthechoc, researchers claim that it is not fattening as it only contains roughly 38 calories per bar. In order for it to take effect, the researchers claim not to exceed its consumption from the recommended amount.
Vegans and vegetarians can freely eat Esthechoc, the chocolate main site reports. Interested to order? A box of 21 pieces single-serving 7.5g bars costs $54, making it one of the most expensive chocolates in the market today. It can only be purchased from selected high-end stores since March this year.
From the group of volunteers, the creators revealed that after four weeks, Esthechoc made the skin of someone in their 50s or 60s to look like someone in their 20s to 30s.
Although Esthechoc makers revealed strong claims on the efficacy of the product, Naveed Sattar, Professor of Metabolic Medicine at Glasgow University reported that there must be supporting trials in order to prove its validity.
He said, although Esthechoc can be given credit for its skin properties, still eating too much chocolate is not safe as it can add calories and in effect turns the problem to obesity.
