% DV refers to how much a single serving of an individually packaged food or supplement contributes nutritionally to your daily diet, based on a 2,000-calorie-a-day diet. Generally, having 5% DV or less of a nutrient per serving is considered low, and 20% DV or more of a nutrient per serving is considered high.

📚 Health Research & Evidence About This Food
Cocoa protein beverages, when formulated as chocolate milk, may offer benefits for recovery after endurance exercise, impacting skeletal muscle protein turnover signaling molecules, leucine kinetics, and performance measures, and like other chocolate milk products, can provide essential nutrients such as protein, calcium, and vitamin D, supporting bone health and muscle mass. The cocoa flavanol content of such beverages may also significantly improve specific cognitive functions like processing speed and verbal fluency in elderly individuals, and like other cacao-derived products, may offer antioxidants associated with various health benefits; however, they often contain added sugars and calories.
