ok, asked AI, I'm not an expert on the jargon: > Based on the article, cocoa consumption is associated with the mobilization of circulating angiogenic cells, also known as Endothelial Progenitor Cells (EPCs). <-- stem cells > The article doesn't provide a specific quantity or percentage increase in EPC mobilization directly linked to a certain amount of cocoa. Instead, it discusses this mobilization as one of the mechanisms contributing to the positive endothelial effects of cocoa. > It notes that a pronounced and consistent improvement in endothelial function seems to occur with large daily doses of about 900 mg of flavanols. > European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) [57] recommends 200 mg of cocoa polyphenols daily (provided by 2.5 g of polyphenol-rich cocoa powder or 10 g of polyphenol-rich dark chocolate) in order to obtain endothelium-dependent vasodilation in general population in the context of a balanced diet.
