Crio Brü is a healthy and delicious drink inspired by the ancient Mayans designed to deliver incredible health benefits.  The cocoa bean (cacao bean) is one of natures most amazing superfoods offering high antioxidant levels, mineral benefits and natural energy. Crio Brü is made from 100% roasted cocoa beans and is prepared as simply as brewing a coffee.  

Some health benefits listed below: (For more information simply click on the logo to visit their website)

Boost your immune system

• Antioxidants fight oxidative damage and free radicals in the body. Cocoa (or cacao) contains the highest concentration of antioxidants of any food in the world, including polyphenols, catechins, and epicatechins. By weight, cocoa has more antioxidants than red wine, blueberries, açai, pomegranates, and goji berries combined. To see the ORAC USDA chart, go to our Crio FAQs page.
• Zinc plays a critical role in supporting your immune system, liver, pancreas and skin.

Increase energy naturally

• Cocoa beans contain a natural stimulant called theobromine that is a relative of caffeine. Unlike caffeine, theobromine gives you a noticeable increase in energy without making you feel nervous or jittery. Cacao naturally contains about 1% theobromine.
• Theobromine is gentle, mild, has a slow onset, is long lasting and non-addictive whereas caffeine is intense, strong, fast acting, short lived and addictive. In short, it gives you healthy energy as part of a healthy diet. 
  

Curb your appetite and lose weight

• Cocoa is one of the great weight loss foods because within its extraordinary nutrition profile it contains the minerals and molecules that help curb appetite, promote weight loss and healthy living. 
  
• Compared to soda, fruit juice and other drinks, Crio Brü has a nominal number of calories and only 1.5 carbs per serving with many health benefits making it an incredibly healthy drink and a great addition to any health and fitness program. 
  
• Dr. Oz recently talked about how brewed cocoa can help you burn fat faster on the Dr. Oz show:
  
  "This is a really cool idea. I think this is something really worth trying. Here's what I love about it. It's why it can help you burn fat faster. It has a natural stimulant, not caffeine, called theobromine that can boost your metabolism. It's very safe. It also has a fat blocker. It helps get rid of the fat in your body by blocking an enzyme you need to digest fat, so you never absorb the fat into your body." - Dr. Oz
  

Support your heart, digestive system, brain and bones

• Cocoa has more magnesium that any other food, which supports the heart, aids digestion, balances brain chemistry and builds strong bones. Over 80% of Americans are chronically magnesium deficient.
• Crio Brü is a 100% gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, fat free, cholesterol free, soy free and sodium free food. 

Oxygenate the blood and maintain healthy blood sugar levels

• The trace mineral manganese found in cacao assists iron to oxygenate the blood and form hemoglobin.
• Found naturally in cacao, copper helps build healthy blood.
• Nearly 80% of Americans are deficient of the trace mineral chromium that helps promote a healthy blood sugar level. 
  
• This is another reason Crio Breans are truly a healthy chocolate. 
  

Feel great, increase focus, reduce stress and sleep better

• An endorphin or “bliss chemical” called anadamide is produced by our body after exercise that makes us feel great. It has also been found in one plant – cacao. 
• Our body produces the chemical phenylethylamine when we fall in love and increases focus and alertness. This natural chemical is also found abundantly in cacao. 
• Cacao contains serotonin, a primary neurotransmitter in the body that helps build a “stress defense shield”.
• Tryptophan is a natural anti-depressant amino acid contained in cacao that transforms into stress-protective neurotransmitters that enhance relaxation and promote better sleep.
