| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Consequently, RCTs involving subjects with increased cardiometabolic risk may clarify the effects of EC and MX as cocoa components on cardiovascular health parameters. | 2 | Weigant J (2025) | Cardiometabolic Impact of Encapsulated Cocoa Powder and Pure Cocoa Ingredients Supplementation: A Comparative Placebo-Controlled RCT in Adults. |
| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Consuming cocoa rich in flavan-3-ols (particularly epicatechin [EC]) may reduce vascular stiffness and blood pressure (BP) and improve serum lipid profiles. | 2 | Weigant J (2025) | Cardiometabolic Impact of Encapsulated Cocoa Powder and Pure Cocoa Ingredients Supplementation: A Comparative Placebo-Controlled RCT in Adults. |
| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Because interventional studies on pure EC exhibited inconclusive results, the role of other cocoa ingredients such as methylxanthines (MX) on vascular health was assumed. | 2 | Weigant J (2025) | Cardiometabolic Impact of Encapsulated Cocoa Powder and Pure Cocoa Ingredients Supplementation: A Comparative Placebo-Controlled RCT in Adults. |
| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Sitting induces declines in endothelial function, increasing the risk of cardiovascular diseases. | 4 | Daniele A (2025) | Dietary flavanols preserve upper- and lower-limb endothelial function during sitting in high- and low-fit young healthy males. |
| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Sitting significantly reduced FMD in the SFA and BA and increased diastolic BP in both fitness groups. | 4 | Daniele A (2025) | Dietary flavanols preserve upper- and lower-limb endothelial function during sitting in high- and low-fit young healthy males. |
| Flavanol-Rich Cocoa Blood Pressure Randomized Trial | Sedentary behaviour is very prevalent in modern societies, with young adults spending approximately 6 h/day sitting. | 4 | Daniele A (2025) | Dietary flavanols preserve upper- and lower-limb endothelial function during sitting in high- and low-fit young healthy males. |
