摘要
Purpose: Tea flavonoids, including (–)-epicatechin (EC), have been suggested to have chemopreventive properties in cancer. However, there is limited knowledge of the oral bioavailability of these dietary compounds. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of the absorption of EC.
