What are polyphenols?
Polyphenols are important micronutrients found in a variety of plant-based food and drinks.
There are more than 8,000 different types of polyphenols!
They provide multiple health benefits due to their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, such as supporting circulation, muscle recovery and immune function.
Polyphenols in sport
Anti-inflammatory properties may help reduce muscle damage in certain situations.
They may also reduce the risk of respiratory-tract illness, a common infection in footballers and other athletes.
They are therefore important to consume regularly, particularly during heavy phases of training and competition, where the risk of illness is increased.
