Four independent checks of what is known — a summary of the available information, not a grade of the product itself.

Evidence for Intended Use
By FDA rules, dietary supplements can’t claim to treat, cure, or prevent disease — so labels speak in careful marketing language. We discern each product’s intended use from its name, label claims, and label statements, then grade the clinical evidence for that use. How these ratings are computed

Formulation

100% Solar Production Zero Carbon Footprint Fair Trade

Organic

Rich Flavor. Creamy Texture. Never Bitter. The world's most delicious dark chocolate is also the world's healthiest. When you indulge in the creamy texture of ChocoNuvo, you naturally reduce harmful cholesterol levels and with them, the risk of heart disease. Scientists and experts have long stated that there is no more protective superfood than dark chocolate and clearly, there is no more protective chocolate than ChocoNuvo.

Since 1979, Unsurpassed purity, quality and efficacy. 100% Solar Production Zero-Carbon Footprint

Contains no soy, yeast, corn, wheat, gluten, sodium, salt, starch, cholesterol, emulsifier, wax, binder, filler, excipient, lubricant, coating, diluent, flowing agent, color, preservative or genetically modified (GMO) ingredients.

Formula

Mother Nature's dynamic duo of heart health. CHOCONUVO combines the heart-healthy benefits of dark chocolate with Mother Nature's most powerful and clinically proven cholesterol-reducing ingredients (plant sterols). Naturally occurring compounds in dark chocolate called flavanols have long been known to promote heart and circulatory health. The unique combination of our natural plant sterols with our flavanol-rich organic extreme dark chocolate creates the creamiest and most luxurious extreme dark chocolate you will ever taste. CHOCONUVO is also the first chocolate experience that naturally lowers cholesterol. Chocolate - Respected for thousands of years. Cocoa was revered by ancient South and Central American cultures. For centuries, cocoa was not merely a source of nourishment, but of resilience, stamina and well-being. The scientific name for the cacao tree translates as God's Drink. As admired as cocoa was by Native Americans, it is not surprising that it soon became equally prized in the 16th century New World. A unique dark chocolate experience CHOCONUVO's unique marriage of rich dark chocolate with cholesterol-lowering plant sterols creates an exceptionally healthy dark chocolate treat that melts in your mouth like milk chocolate. In fact, our extreme dark CHOCONUVO 91 was specifically created for those who insist on the richest, healthiest dark chocolate possible, but prefer the creamy texture of milk chocolate. Dark Chocolate and Plant Sterols: A Natural Solution to an Unhealthy Problem. The normal American diet increases cholesterol levels and the risk of heart disease. As a result, millions of Americans take cholesterol-lowering drugs with their long list of harmful side effects. If you and your physician seek a natural tool to lower cholesterol, then CHOCONUVO is an ideal solution. We add the clinically proven cholesterol-lowering benefits of plant sterols to our heart-healthy Organic 91% extreme dark chocolate. In fact, the 1,300 mg of plant sterols in just two CHOCONUVO squares is all you need to powerfully impact your cholesterol levels.

Ingredients: organic fair trade dark chocolate (organic fair trade cacao beans, organic evaporated cane syrup, organic fair trade cocoa butter) Cholestacare natural plant sterol esters.

According to the US Food and Drug Administration, consuming at least 650 mg of Plant Sterol Esters twice daily with meals for a daily total intake of at least 1,300 mg as part of a healthy diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease. Each CHOCONUVO square supplies 650 mg of Plant Sterol Esters.

Each ingredient & the kinds of drugs it affects

For each ingredient in ChocoNuvo 91% Cacao Extreme Dark Chocolate with known interactions, here are the types of medications it can affect. Open any type for the detail — or search your exact drug in the checker above.

Dietary Fiber7 drug types · 2,025 drugs

Carbamazepine (Tegretol)

Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce the effects of carbamazepine and increase the risk for convulsions.
Theoretically, black psyllium might reduce carbamazepine absorption. A preliminary study using blond psyllium reported decreased carbamazepine bioavailability due to binding of the drug to psyllium, as well as reduction of available fluid in the gut for dissolution of the drug. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Lithium

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as lithium might reduce lithium absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might reduce lithium absorption and plasma levels. Some case reports describe a reduction in plasma lithium levels with concomitant administration of blond psyllium. This was reversed when psyllium was stopped. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium.

Likelihood Probable Evidence D
Metformin (Glucophage)

Theoretically, black psyllium might increase the therapeutic and adverse effects of metformin.
Animal research shows that concurrent consumption of blond psyllium with metformin slows and increases the absorption of metformin. This interaction may also occur with black psyllium. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after metformin.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Olanzapine (Zyprexa)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as olanzapine might reduce olanzapine absorption.
The fiber in black psyllium might decrease the absorption of olanzapine. A single case report describes a reduction in the effectiveness of olanzapine when it was concomitantly administered with an unspecified type of psyllium 3 grams orally twice daily. This effect was reversed when psyllium was stopped.

Likelihood Possible Evidence D
Digoxin (Lanoxin)

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as digoxin might reduce digoxin absorption and decrease digoxin levels.
Psyllium might bind digoxin in the gut. However, some clinical evidence suggests that psyllium does not impact digoxin absorption.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence B
Ethinyl Estradiol

Theoretically, taking black psyllium at the same time as ethinyl estradiol might alter levels of estradiol.
Concurrent use of blond psyllium with ethinyl estradiol results in a slight increase in the extent of ethinyl estradiol absorption and a slower rate of absorption. This is unlikely to be clinically significant.

Likelihood Unlikely Evidence D
Oral Drugs

Theoretically, psyllium might increase, decrease, or have no effect on the absorption of oral drugs.
Psyllium seems to have variable effects on drug absorption. To avoid changes in absorption, take psyllium 30-60 minutes after oral medications. Animal research shows that blond psyllium delays and increases the absorption of metformin and ethinyl estradiol. Case reports and animal research suggest that blond psyllium might reduce absorption of lithium, digoxin, olanzapine, and carbamazepine. Finally, some pharmacokinetic studies show that psyllium does not affect the absorption of levothyroxine or warfarin. Although many of these studies evaluated blond psyllium, the fiber content in black psyllium may have similar effects.
