Disclosed and claimed are cocoa extracts, compounds, combinations thereof and compositions containing the same, such as polyphenols or procyanidins, methods for preparing such extracts, compounds and compositions, as well as uses for them, especially a polymeric compound of the formula An, wherein A is a monomer of the formula: wherein n is an integer from 2 to 18, such that there is at least one terminal monomeric unit A, and one or a plurality of additional monomeric units; R is 3-(α)--OH, 3-(β)--OH, 3-(α)--O-sugar, or 3-(β)--O-sugar; bonding between adjacent monomers takes place at positions 4, 6 or 8; a bond of an additional monomeric unit in position 4 has alpha or beta stereochemistry; X, Y and Z are selected from the group consisting of monomeric unit A, hydrogen, and a sugar, with the provisos that as to the at least one terminal monomeric unit, bonding of the additional monomeric unit thereto (the bonding of the additional monomeric unit adjacent to the terminal monomeric unit) is at position 4 and optionally Y=Z=hydrogen; the sugar is optionally substituted with a phenolic moiety, at any position on the sugar, for instance via an ester bond, and pharmaceutically acceptable salts or derivatives thereof (including oxidation products).

What is claimed is: 1. A method of therapeutic or prophylactic treatment of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, heart attack, stroke or vascular circulation problems comprising administering to a subject in need thereof an effective amount of a polymeric compound of the formula An or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof: wherein n is an integer from 2 to 18, such that there is at least one terminal monomeric unit A, and one or a plurality of additional monomeric units; R is 3-(α)--OH, 3-(β)--OH; bonding between adjacent monomers takes place at positions selected from the group consisting of 4, 6 and 8; a bond of an additional monomeric unit in position 4 has alpha or beta stereochemistry; X, Y and Z are selected from the group consisting of monomeric unit A, hydrogen, and a sugar, with the provisos that as to the at least one terminal monomeric unit, bonding of the additional monomeric unit thereto is at position 4 and optionally y=Z=hydrogen; wherein the subject is a human or a veterinary animal. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein n is 2 to 12. 3. The method of claim 2, wherein the subject is a human. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein n is 3 to 12. 5. The method of claim 4, wherein the subject is a human. 6. The method of claim 1, wherein the adjacent monomers bind at positions 4→6 or 4→8. 7. The method of claim 2, wherein the adjacent monomers bind at positions (4β→6) or (4β→8). 8. The method of claim 4, wherein the adjacent monomers bind at positions (4β→6) or (4β→8). 9. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is selected from the group consisting of: dimer EC-(4β→8)-EC, dimer EC-(4β→6)-EC, trimer [EC(4β→8)] 2-EC, trimer [EC-(4β→6)2-EC, tetramer [EC-(4β→8)3-EC, pentamer [EC-(4β→8) 4-EC, and pentamer [EC-(4β→8)3-EC-(4β→6)-EC, wherein EC is a monomeric unit epicatechin. 10. The method of claim 9, wherein the subject is a human. 11. The method of claim 9, wherein the subject is a veterinary animal. 12. The method of claim 10, wherein the human is at risk of atherosclerosis, thrombosis, heart attack, stroke or vascular circulation problems. 13. The method of claim 10, wherein the human is suffering from atherosclerosis. 14. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a cocoa extract. 15. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a cocoa extract fraction. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the cocoa extract fraction comprises dimer EC-(4β→8) and/or dimer EC-(4β→6)-EC. 17. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a cocoa beverage comprising non-alkalized cocoa solids. 18. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a chocolate comprising non-alkalized cocoa solids or liquor. 19. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a chocolate comprising CP-cocoa solids in powder or liquid form. 20. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical dosage form. 21. The method of claim 9, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a pharmaceutical dosage form. 22. The method of claim 1, wherein the polymeric compound is administered in the form of a tablet or capsule.
