Polyphenols are naturally occurring compounds found in plants, contributing to their color, flavor, and health benefits. There are four main types of polyphenols:
- Flavonoids: Found in tea, citrus fruits, and berries.
- Phenolic Acids: Found in coffee, olive oil, and whole grains.
- Stilbenes: Most famously found in red wine (resveratrol).
- Lignans: Found in seeds, whole grains, and vegetables.
Polyphenols act as antioxidants, neutralising harmful free radicals in the body to protect cells and reduce the risk of diseases.
