Cacao: New Evidence Shows Cacao Flavonoids Improve Endothelial Function and Reduce Inflammation and Fatigue in Long COVID

Cacao vs Spike

Analysis of the effects induced by three months of treatment with an ECES or placebo (A,B) on serum levels of TNF-α and blood levels. Panels (C,D) of syndecan-1 in both groups. Data are presented as mean ± SD. Data were analyzed using a paired t-test, with p-values reported.

Two years ago, we discussed the potential benefits of Dark Chocolate (Cacao) on improving Endothelial function which may be impaired by the Spike Protein:

Beyond its ability to interfere with SARS-CoV-2 replication, Dark Chocolate has cardiovascular benefits – including benefits for the Endothelium, which, of course, the Spike Protein is a virtuoso at attacking.

Now, we have definitive evidence (published just last week) that (−)-epicatechin (EC) from Cacao given as an enriched supplement (EC-enriched supplement (ECES)) improves the endothelial function of those suffering from Long COVID. It is widely known that the Spike Protein is found in the bloodstream of those with Long COVID.

Additionally, levels of key Spike Protein-elevated cytokines were improved with ECES. The burden of fatigue was also reduced, improving overall quality of life.

Since we last discussed Cacao, another finding has been made. Caffeine binds strongly and stably to the Spike Protein’s active site.
