recognized for introducing its cutting-edge protein technology
with a baked, not extruded, protein bar.
What is Xoçai™?
The name Xoçai™ (Sho˘ -sái) consists of the first two letters
of the Aztec word, “Xocolatl,” an ancient Central-American
chocolate drink, and the last three letters of “Açaí,” a berry
found in the Amazon Rain Forest.

Chocolate
The Greek term
“Theobroma Cacao”
literally means
“Food of the Gods.”
Cacao, or Chocolate, originated with the Olmec
Indians in 1500 B.C.
Mayans and Aztecs used cacao in a royal
chocolate drink called Xocolatl. Xocolatl
progressed to a favored beverage of the
European elite.
“The divine drink builds up resistance and
fights fatigue. A cup of this precious drink
(cacao) permits a man to walk for a whole
day without food.” Montezuma ll.
From antiquity to the present, chocolate has
been one of the most beloved products, and
for more than 90% of its history chocolate
has been consumed as a beverage.
Although many health benefits have been
attributed to chocolate during its 3,500-
year history, the full extent of its contributions
to human health is only now being
brought to light through modern technology
and research.
MXI Corp has perfectly balanced the flavor
profile of Xoçai™ while protecting the
essential antioxidant properties in cocoa
powder, known specifically as flavonoids.
Research has demonstrated that flavonoids
play an important role in protecting the cacao
plant. Further research has concluded that
these same natural protective compounds in
cacao beans, when consumed by humans,
help maintain health by protecting cells from
the damaging effects of free radicals.
Xoçai™ is produced with rich European unprocessed,
nonalkalized, nonlecithinized cocoa
powder that is high in antioxidants due
to a closely monitored fermentation, drying,
and roasting process. Because these processes
are closely monitored, Xoçai™ delivers
the optimum amount of the antioxidants
found in the all-natural cocoa powder.
Açaí
The super antioxidant
berry from the
Amazon Rain Forest.
Açaí (ah-sigh–ee) is a high-energy berry
harvested on co-op farms from a special
Amazon palm tree.
Açaí berries contain amino acids, essential
fatty acids (Omega 3, 6, and 9), and higher
amounts of antioxidants than any other fruit.
The açaí berry has over 14 times more antioxidants
than raw spinach, and 10 to 30
times more anthocyanins than red wine.
Soy
Protein
Soy is a powerful and nutritious ingredient
which is associated with numerous healthpromoting
attributes.
Research has shown that Soy contributes
to a healthier heart by lowering “bad” cholesterol
and raising “good” cholesterol,
strengthening bones by increasing bone
density, easing menopausal symptoms
by reducing hot flashes, promoting better
performance nutrition by aiding in faster
muscle recovery, and assisting in weight
management by satisfying hunger.
Emerging
world of
antioxidants
What are antioxidants? Antioxidants are
molecules which prevent the damaging
effects of oxygen free radicals in the body.
The damage caused by oxygen free radicals
is called oxidation. Examples of oxidation
are bananas turning brown when left on the
countertop, or the rusting of iron.
How are
antioxidants
measured?
The antioxidants in any food are measured
by its capacity to absorb free radicals.
ORAC (Oxygen Radical Absorbance
Capacity) values as determined by the U.S.
Dept. of Agriculture measure the capacity
of a food to absorb oxygen free radicals.
The chart above contains the ORAC values
of several high-antioxidant foods.
Indulge your health
The shocking good news is that dark
chocolate is packed with potent antioxidants
called flavonoids. Researchers have found
that flavonoids found in cocoa powder
contain diverse beneficial phytonutrients
and antioxidants.
Cacao beans contain over 300 chemically
identifiable compounds making it one of the
most complex food substances on Earth.
ORAC and
the USDA
The USDA website recommends a Daily
Antioxidant Intake Range of 3,000 to 5,000
ORAC. However, recent studies have
suggested that more active lifestyles require
higher levels of antioxidants.
Xoçai™ should be a vital part of a balanced
diet and an active lifestyle.
