Catechins refer to a subgroup of flavan 3-ol derivatives (FL63AC). The two chiral center at C2 and C3 of the flavan 3-ols produces 4 isomers, and (+)-Catechin and its stereoisomer (-)-Epicatechin are naturally abundant. Less abundant are (-)-Catechin and (+)-Epicatechin. Gallocatechins are their hydrolized forms.

B-ring stereo
3-Hydroxyl stereo
Gallocatechins (+)-Gallocatechin (-)-Epigallocatechin (-)-Gallocatechin

Among the stereoisomers, the bioavailability in human follows the order:

(-)-epicatechin > (+)-catechin = (+)-epicatechin > (-)-catechin

The circulation level of (-)-epicatechin is 6 times higher than that of (-)-catechin. Naturally abundant species are more bioavailable than less abundant ones.
