Cocoa beans contain flavanols that, through their beneficial effect on the endothelium, improve blood vessel elasticity by 23%. Consequently, flavanols contribute to healthy blood flow, a reduction in hypertension and increased heart function. At Vitafoods 2016, Naturex showcased CocoActiv, a ready-to-market cocoa-based solution that combines quality sourcing (in collaboration with Barry Callebaut group), scientific expertise and an authorized EFSA 13.5 health claim, namely “cocoa flavanols help maintain the elasticity of blood vessels, which contributes to normal blood flow.”
