What is the difference between flavonoids and flavanols?
Flavonoids represent a diverse class of naturally occurring compounds found in a variety of foods such as fruits and vegetables. Flavanols are a distinct group of compounds within the flavonoid family and are the predominant flavonoids in tea, red wine and cocoa. Research on flavanols, including cocoa flavanols, provide compelling support in the role of these natural compounds in cardiovascular health.
