introducing
the sacred solution

Kiva Ceremonial Cacao is packed with nature's most potent flavanols—A rich source of plant compounds traditionally enjoyed in cultures that value cardiovascular wellness, and studied for their potential role in supporting heart and circulatory health.

In the COSMOS study — the largest clinical trial on cocoa flavanols — researchers found an association between daily flavanol intake and positive cardiovascular outcomes.

Kiva is crafted from cacao naturally rich in these flavanols, preserving their authentic profile through minimal processing.

Clinical Trials

Most supplements are never studied as finished products. By contrast, cocoa flavanols—the active compounds naturally present in non-alkalized cacao—have been evaluated in multiple double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials (DBRCTs) for vascular and cognitive outcomes. Our powder is formulated to deliver a clearly stated 600 mg cocoa flavanols per serving, aligning with study-style intakes.

The Impact of Clinical Proof

•  Double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled trials (DBRCTs) are considered the gold standard because they:
•  Reduce bias
•. Control for the placebo effect
•  Validate efficacy with objective endpoints
•  Align with regulatory expectations

Focusing on high-flavanol, non-alkalized cacao keeps attention on the exact compounds examined in peer-reviewed studies.

Vascular Health / Blood Pressure

Natural High-Flavanol Cacao is formulated to help maintain normal blood flow and support healthy, in-range blood-pressure values when used with a sensible lifestyle.

Clinical Trial Results

•  In a 18 weeks study, flavanol-rich cocoa produced meaningful reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure and improved endothelium-dependent vasodilation.

•  A regulated health claim in the EU recognizes that ~200 mg/day cocoa flavanols help maintain normal vascular elasticity; the serving here provides 600 mg.

Cognitive Aging / Daily Clarity

This product is designed to support cerebral blood-flow responsiveness and performance on demanding mental tasks.

Clinical Trial Results

•  A 8-week study of older adults with mild cognitive impairment, participants consuming high (~993 mg/day) outperformed a low-flavanol (~48 mg/day) control on Trail-Making Tests A/B and verbal fluency.

•  A 3-month study in older adults, a high-flavanol regimen improved performance on a dentate gyrus–linked memory task (a hippocampal circuit associated with age-related memory).

•  2-hour post-intake study shows that flavanol beverages increase cerebral perfusion within hours and can enhance performance during sustained mental effort.

Midlife / Menopause Support

Created to provide a clean, customizable routine during midlife without added sugars or fillers.

Clinical Trial Results

•  A 8-week Study of high-cocoa polyphenols delivered significantly improved mood metrics, while sleep measures were unchanged.

•  In a 8-month study of cocoa polyphenols, women reported improvements in vasomotor symptoms and selected metabolic markers.

Men’s Circulation & Vitality

Natural high-flavanol cacao is positioned as a circulation-first daily habit—erections are fundamentally a vascular event.

•  In a same-day study a single high-flavanol cocoa drink increased flow-mediated dilation (FMD) at ~2 hours versus a low-flavanol control, indicating a nitric-oxide–mediated improvement in endothelial function.

•  A month-study daily cocoa flavanols sustained improvements in endothelial function (FMD) and produced small reductions in blood pressure compared to control—evidence the vascular effect persists beyond a single serving.
