Polyphenols – The Superheroes of Your Health

Polyphenols are natural substances found in fruits, berries and vegetables. Studies suggest that long-term consumption of diet rich in plant polyphenols offer a wide array of health benefits.

Long-term stress can take a toll on your health and immune system. Polyphenols help reduce inflammation and oxidative stress4 so your body can work optimally to protect your health.

Recovering after surgery or a bout of ailment? Polyphenols have strong anti-inflammatory properties to help reduce inflammation1 and reduce pain for a speedy recovery.

Polyphenols help support your immune system by fighting off infections more
effectively. Being less susceptible to falling ill means you can be more productive at work!

Are you a college or university student busy with assignments and lessons? Polyphenols help to increase blood and oxygen flow to the brain to improve your memory, sharpen your attention2 and have better recall ability3 so you focus better in class.

Your brain shrinks as you age, affecting your memory and cognitive health. Polyphenols can modulate blood flow in the brain, delaying the brain’s ageing process, keeping your brain young!5

Having sleeping difficulties? Polyphenols influence cell signalling and communication to produce melatonin, the “sleep hormone” to help you sleep better

Polyphenols help to slow down breakdown of collagen and elastin that maintain skin elasticity and firmness for younger looking skin.6

Polyphenols speed up the production of mitochondria, your body’s main energy
producer so you feel more energetic doing what you love daily!

Include polyphenols in your daily diet to protect and enhance your health now!
