 It did lower my cholesterol from about 210 to 185.

 

As I posted on another thread, I really like the 74% but don't care for the taste of the 91%, which has much less sugar and more cacao.  So I suggest trying the 74% first if you have any doubts and if you're more of a milk chocolate fan you might even want to start with the 66% (although I've not tried it).

My  blood tests showed no improvement at all.

Chocolate is an obsession  and Andrew's is excellent. I did repurchase because it helps me from eating high sugared chocolate candy.

Some almonds and a couple pieces of his chocolate satisfies my cravings.

Yes, it sure does!    I must say that eating 2 squares after lunch and another 2 more after dinner certainly fulfills my daily chocolate needs.   I turned down some chocolate candy yesterday "because I didn't need it"!   That's great!

I switched to the darkest when it was available, and love it.

 

Have no idea if it helps with cholesterol, but mine was never high (haven't been tested lately).  I am hoping it helps DH as his was edging up. 

 

He hasn't been tested lately either.

 

Mostly, I find it calms any cravings I might have.  Like another poster, I have a square of that and some almonds and it seems to fill in that empty spot.

 

I try not to have more than 2 a day, but love it!


I love the darkest one too. It is the only one I've tried and will repurchase. Great idea eating it with some almonds. Maybe some day he will add an almond and chocolate option- that would be healthy too!

 

I eat a square with a tad of organic, 100% all natural peanut butter (no sugar added, just peanuts) and it is delicious. I also eat cocoa nibs in my yogurt and cereals at times for the health benefits. Today I grated a square of the AL in my yogurt instead of cocoa nibs and liked the flavor even better. I know Andrew said you could cook with them too. 

 

I don't know if it is has or will affect my cholesterol, I just bought it for the health benefits and the fact that it is lower cal, low sugar and a bit of fiber so a  good option for those times I want just a little something sweet. I definitely feel satisfied after eating just one square.

I love Choconuvo!  I get the 66%.  I started using it Nov. 1st.  Had labs done mid Dec.  My cholesterol dropped 20 points!  I am very pleased.  If you have questions about it, their Customer Service is superior!!  Good Luck.

Does anyone know when they stop offering it?   I know they only ship in the cooler months, but bought a large container and want to get a second one before it's no longer available.

I ordered the mid range chocolate today as I had a 17% off one product.  I saved $28.  I do not know if they have better prices on his visits.

I ordered the 74% when it first came out.  Within five months my cholesterol  went down 20 points!  I was really surprised.  I now keep both the 74"% and 66% on hand but try and buy when Andrew has the special pricing.  Otherwise, it is way too expensive!  I buy the big size for the better value although he no longer offers the 300 unit size he did on his first introduction.  I think this is the BEST chocolate you can taste - creamy and delicious but good for you on top of it.

I received my first order about 2 weeks ago.  Today it is $50 cheaper so ordered again. (74% 180)  I also received a $50 price adjustment.

 

It is delicious.
