Cocoa extract refers to the bioactive compounds found in cocoa products. These compounds include flavanols, procyanidins and epicatechin. Though these molecules are not unique to cocoa, cocoa extract contains a particularly high level of epicatechin, compared to other plant products.
Preliminary research suggests epicatechin may also provide benefits for longevity by increasing blood flow and oxygenation in the brain. Though this effect has not been linked to improved memory or cognitive performance, it may play a protective role during aging. Some evidence also suggests epicatechin can help mitigate the effects of impaired mitochondria.
Eating about 26-40g of dark chocolate products containing at least 75% cocoa makes supplementing cocoa extract and epicatechin unnecessary. This is about 200 calories of dark chocolate, a bit less than a standard candy bar. Products low in cocoa, like milk chocolate and white chocolate, do not replace supplementation. Cocoa extract is a safe supplement that promotes circulation and effective energy production. It has great potential long-term benefits, whether the epicatechin comes from supplements or food products.
