Diet Intervention Guide: Polyphenols
Polyphenols are natural compounds found in many plant foods. They’re part of what gives fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds their colour and flavour. While there are thousands of different types of polyphenols, there are four main families of polyphenols with unique chemical structures commonly discussed: flavonoids, lignans, stilbenes, and phenolic acids. They’ve long been linked to heart and metabolic health, and more recently, research shows they also support the gut. By nourishing the gut microbiome, polyphenols can help improve digestion, balance, and overall gut function.
