Does cocoa lower blood pressure?5 answersCocoa consumption has been shown to lower blood pressure in multiple studies. A systematic review and meta-analysis found that cocoa consumption for at least 2 weeks was associated with reductions in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, regardless of baseline blood pressure levels. In silico, in vitro, and in vivo studies demonstrated that cocoa proteins have ACE inhibitory activity and can decrease blood pressure. Another study using n-of-1 trials in healthy individuals found that cocoa flavanols significantly decreased systolic blood pressure and arterial stiffness, with peak effects observed within the first 3 hours. A study on elderly women with hypertension found that consuming dark chocolate led to a decrease in blood pressure. Additionally, a study on black African men showed that regular cocoa consumption resulted in a decrease in systolic and diastolic blood pressure, with greater effects observed in individuals with higher baseline blood pressure.
