In collaboration with a global network of scientific research partners, we are investigating the potential benefits of cocoa flavanols for human health.
Flavanols, also known as flavan-3-ols, are bioactive compounds found naturally in many plants, including tea, apples, various berries, and cocoa beans.
A strong body of scientific evidence shows regular cocoa flavanol intake can improve blood vessel function and cognitive function in healthy adults.
