Detail description
Polyphenols are plant-based compounds found in fruits, vegetables, tea, olive oil, and whole grains. They act as antioxidants, reducing cellular damage from free radicals. These compounds have anti-inflammatory properties, support immune function, and improve cardiovascular health by enhancing blood flow. Research highlights their role in reducing the risk of chronic diseases such as heart disease and cancer. Their significance is growing in agri-based industries, particularly within the UP4HEALTH initiative.
