Talk:CocoaVia

The article currently says "The process for producing CocoaVia is patented but what is known..." and implies that the process is secret. But if there's a patent on it, one should be able to be able to search the patent office's records for the patent and read about it... Frankg 05:19, 15 August 2006 (UTC)

Frankg is right, patented is opposite to secret as a patented invention is laid open to the public (in e.g the USPTO databases).


 * Perhaps "is a trade secret" should replace "is patented"? I'd replace it myself, but I'm unsure if the claim of it being patented is substantiated or not. 24.254.163.150 (talk) 02:16, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

There are multiple processes involved in flavanol extraction and stabilization. According to one source in the food industry, 80 individual processes and methods were developed and patented by Mars Corp. I am trying to figure out how to do the footnote citation code, so bear with me. --jadepearl (talk) 15:06, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Sentence needs work
The second sentence of the article reads as follows:

"The process for producing CocoaVia is patented but what is known is that cocoa flavanols, plant sterols from soy (1.5 mg) are combined with calcium, folic acid, vitamins B6, B12, C and E and other nutrients to produce the CocoaVia line of products."

This does not make sense as written. (Perhaps the comma after "flavanols" should be replaced by the word "and" ???)

This is in addition to the previously mentioned nonsensical aspect of this sentence, namely that patented does not mean secret.Daqu (talk) 06:54, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Competitors that also have proven amount of Flavanols and No Heavy metals?
No heavy metals requires you to have Cocoa Extract, similar to Cocoavia. ee1518 (talk) 08:47, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
