Accumulating data show a causal role for flavanols in the mediation of cardiovascular benefits associated with the consumption of flavanol- and procyanidin-containing foods. Evidence for a direct causal role for procyanidins in this context is far less profound due to

Procyanidins are important biologically active compounds, but the pathway and extent of absorption and metabolism are controversial. We conducted a mass balance study to evaluate the total radioactivity excreted in urine and feces after oral administration of [(14)C]procyanidin B2 to
