About Epicatechin (-)

Catechin

Epicatechin is a flavan-3-ol abundant in dark chocolate, cocoa, apples, blackberries and green tea. It is associated with improved blood flow and cardiovascular health and is one of the most studied dietary flavanols.

⚠️ Too little

No deficiency disease; not an essential nutrient.

🚫 Too much

No adverse effects established from dietary intakes; very high supplemental catechin/epicatechin intakes should be approached cautiously.
