At 100 nM, B1 and B2 caused a 29–38% and 38–47% inhibition of either p50 or RelA binding to its DNA consensus sequence Cocoa contains compounds called flavanols which are a type of polyphenol. Polyphenols are naturally produced by plants and so are found in plant foods such as fruit, vegetables, tea, coffee, wine, grains and chocolate.
