Epicatechin
Cocoa, the
major ingredient of dark chocolate, contains relatively high amounts of
epicatechin, a polyphenol. It is well known that polyphenols are naturally
derived compounds with a number of health benefits. Polyphenol-enriched fruit extracts containing epicatechin exhibited a
significant anti-allergic effect in animal studies. Some reports
indicate that epicatechin can be a cancer preventive agent and maybe used as an
adjuvant for chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
