We Probably Won't Start Seeing Claims About Flavanols on Chocolate With annual sales of about CHF 8.1 billion (EUR 7.8 billion / USD 8.6 billion) in fiscal year 2021/22, the Zurich-based Barry Callebaut Group is the world’s leading manufacturer of high-quality chocolate and cocoa products – from sourcing and processing cocoa beans to producing the finest chocolates, including chocolate fillings, decorations and compounds. The Group runs more than 65 production facilities worldwide and employs a diverse and dedicated global workforce of more than 13,000 people.

Until now, the most studied direct effects of cacao flavanols are related to their antioxidant capacity. It is well documented that the latter depends on their aromatic rings with hydroxyl substituents, which give flavanols an adequate configuration to act as electron donors (e −) and thus stabilize free radicals [ 18].Considering the association between NF-κB activation and up-regulation of endothelial cell adhesion molecules expression, the effect of an acute consumption of a cocoa beverage (40 g of cocoa powder) on NF-κB activation was evaluated in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC).

[ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef][ Green Version] As a seasoned connoisseur of natural cocoa powder, I can tell you that there are several things you should be mindful of when shopping for the best product. Monahan, K.D.; Feehan, R.P.; Kunselman, A.R.; Preston, A.G.; Miller, D.L.; Lott, M.E.J. Dose-dependent increases in flow-mediated dilation following acute cocoa ingestion in healthy older adults. J. Appl. Physiol. 2011, 111, 1568–1574. [ Google Scholar] [ CrossRef][ Green Version] Now, the cocoa content is a key quality indicator. The higher the cocoa content, the richer the flavour and the more health benefits it boasts, thanks to its antioxidant properties. I always suggest aiming for a cocoa powder with a high percentage of cocoa, ideally over 70%. Previous in vitro studies studied the effect of other flavonoids on the vascular bioavailability of NO and the activity of endothelin-1 (ET-1). The latter is a powerful vasoconstrictor produced in the blood vessel walls that increases the production of O 2 − through the endothelin receptor A (ETA)/NADPH oxidase pathway. Vascular dilatation is critically impaired by an upregulated ETA in association with a reducing nitric oxide bioavailability. In a study of vascular endothelial cultures, it was reported that green tea epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) stimulates the production of NO through the activation of the Fyn/PI3K/Akt/nitric oxide synthase and down-regulation of ET-1 gene and protein expression [ 57].
