Aura Care Cocoa Young Hero 180g

Aura Care Cocoa Young Hero - functional cocoa with colostrum, 180 g

Young Hero is functional cocoa for children in a 180 g package, with an exceptionally short list of ingredients. It contains three items: cocoa, xylitol as a sweetener, and colostrum bovinum, which is cow colostrum standardized to a minimum of 30% immunoglobulin class G. The manufacturer states there are 30 servings in the package and recommends one serving per day, which is from 6 g to 12 g of powder, depending on how strong a drink you prepare. The colostrum in this serving is from 600 mg at the lower measured amount to 1200 mg at the higher. Preparation is simple: the powder dissolves in warm milk, water, or plant-based drink, from 150 ml to 200 ml per serving. Xylitol replaces sugar here, so the taste is sweet, and there is no added sugar, flavors, or colorants in the ingredient list. Before giving the preparation to a child, consult with a pediatrician - especially if the child has food allergies.

Ingredients

Full list provided by the manufacturer - three items, without additives:

• Cocoa
• Xylitol (sweetener)
• Colostrum bovinum, standardized to a minimum of 30% immunoglobulin IgG

Content in daily serving: colostrum bovinum - from 600 mg at a 6 g serving to 1200 mg at a 12 g serving.

The short list is informative in itself. Colostrum bovinum is cow colostrum, which is the first milk secreted after birth, and the note about standardization to a minimum of 30% IgG indicates what portion of the dry mass of the raw material is immunoglobulin class G. Without such standardization, the mass of colostrum in milligrams means little, as raw materials differ from each other. Xylitol is a sugar alcohol most often derived from birch or corn cobs and provides sweetness without sugar. Cocoa serves as a flavor carrier and is at the beginning of the list, which is arranged in descending order of mass. It is worth noting that the sweetness in this recipe comes solely from xylitol, and the flavor solely from cocoa. However, colostrum comes from cow’s milk, so the product is not suitable for children with milk protein allergies and does not meet vegan diet criteria.

For whom

This is a proposal for parents looking for something in a form that the child can reach for themselves, and prefer a short list of ingredients over an elaborate mixture. Cocoa has the advantage over capsules and drops that it does not require persuasion - a cup of warm drink is part of the day, not an additional obligation. Xylitol instead of sugar makes the drink sweet, although there is no added sugar in the list. The range of servings from 6 g to 12 g provides real flexibility: you can start with a smaller amount and see if the child likes it. One limitation is worth knowing right away: colostrum comes from cow’s milk, so the product is not suitable for those with milk protein allergies and is not vegan. The decision to give the preparation to a child should be made after talking to a pediatrician, especially if the child is on regular medication or has diagnosed food allergies. The powder also dissolves in water and plant-based drinks, so milk is not the only preparation option.

Frequently asked questions

From what age can this cocoa be given?

This decision is best left to the pediatrician: they know the age, weight, and diet of the child, and with this product, the tolerance of cow’s milk proteins also matters, as colostrum is a dairy raw material. The manufacturer recommends one serving per day and asks not to exceed it. Cocoa should be given under the supervision of an adult, and the first serving should be measured from the lower value of the range.

How many servings are in the package?

The manufacturer declares 30 servings with a package weight of 180 g. One serving is from 6 g to 12 g of powder, so the actual number of cups depends on how strong a drink you prepare. With a larger measured amount, the package will run out faster than indicated by the manufacturer’s declaration.

What does the note “min. 30% IgG” mean for colostrum?

This is information about the standardization of the raw material. The manufacturer declares that at least 30% of the mass of the used colostrum consists of immunoglobulin class G. Standardization allows comparing raw materials between manufacturers, as without it, the mass of colostrum given in milligrams says nothing about what is actually in the serving.

Does the product contain sugar?

The ingredient list does not include sugar, and sweetness comes from xylitol, which is a sugar alcohol. The list includes only three items: cocoa, xylitol, and colostrum bovinum. Preparation ends with mixing the powder with warm milk, water, or a plant-based drink - the drink does not need to be sweetened.

Variants and category

Cocoa with another functional ingredient is offered by the brand under the name Cocoa Young Genius, with lion’s mane in the composition. Other preparations can be found in the Supplements category.
