The Organicsio Advantage
Organicsio utilizes specific fermentation protocols in our Southern Indian estates (Kerala & Andhra Pradesh) to maximize the preservation of heat-sensitive flavan-3-ols. Unlike standard market varieties, our stock is rigorously screened for heavy metals (specifically Cadmium and Lead), ensuring compliance with stringent EU and California Prop 65 safety standards for clinical-grade nutraceuticals.
Botanical Morphology & Raw Material
Phytochemical Profile
The matrix is characterized by a high concentration of Methylxanthines (Theobromine 1.2% – 2.8%, Caffeine <0.2%) and polyphenols. Key bioactive constituents include Epicatechin, Catechin, and Procyanidins. Our proprietary extraction process retains the delicate lipid profile (Cocoa Butter) or isolates the defatted solids for high-antioxidant applications.
