Polyphenols, which have excellent antioxidant properties, have been associated with the prevention of heart disease, certain cancers and metabolic diseases.
Only about 5% of the polyphenols you ingest are absorbed in the small intestine; the rest reach the large intestine, where they interact with the gut microbes in different ways. For example, polyphenols that are metabolised through fermentation in the colon lead to the formation of short-chain fatty acids such as butyrate, which contributes to a healthy gut microbiome.
Polyphenols are found in berries, citrus fruit, onions, cabbage and pumpkin, among others. Ginger, cinnamon and turmeric, as well as tea, coffee and cacao, also contain high quantities.
