A study published in the journal Aging has identified theobromine, a natural compound found in cocoa, as being associated with slower biological aging in adults. Researchers from King’s College London analyzed blood samples from nearly 1,700 participants across two European cohorts, measuring circulating levels of theobromine alongside markers of cellular aging.
The analysis found that individuals with higher blood levels of theobromine exhibited less epigenetic age acceleration, meaning their biological age appeared younger than their chronological age, according to the report [1].
