What is Epicatechin
Epicatechin is a polyketide synthase-derived polyphenol flavonoid that has been found in T. cacao and has diverse biological activities. It scavenges DPPH  radicals in a cell-free assay when used at a concentration of 5 μM.  
Epicatechin (EC) belongs to the group of flavanols and is abundantly present in cacao and cacao products. The chemical structure of EC includes an oxygenated heterocycle with a 4-hydroxyl group linked with two aromatic rings.

Epicatechin Function
Potent antioxidant and antineoplastic agent. 
Catechin is a polyphenolic flavonoid that has been isolated from a variety of natural sources including tea leaves, grape seeds, and the wood and bark of trees such as acacia and mahogany. Catechin is a more potent antioxidant than ascorbate or α-tocopherol in certain in vitro lipid peroxidation assays. -Epicatechin is a 2R,3R stereoisomer of catechin. Like catechin, epicatechin is a powerful antioxidant.
