Study Finds Cocoa Extract Supplement Reduced Key Marker of Inflammation and Aging

“In a new study from the COcoa Supplement and Multivitamin Outcomes Study (COSMOS), investigators from Mass General Brigham and their colleagues looked at changes in five age-related markers of inflammation among participants who received daily cocoa supplements over several years. They found that hsCRP—an inflammatory marker that can signal increased risk of cardiovascular disease—decreased in participants taking the cocoa extract supplement, suggesting its anti-inflammatory potential may help explain its heart-protective effects. Their results are published in [Age and Ageing]”(https://academic.oup.com/ageing/article-lookup/doi/10.1093/ageing/afaf269).

More good evidence for cocoa between this, the COSMOS study, and the Epicatechin ITP result. I love my 90% cocoa dark chocolate I eat every morning.
