Abstract

Polyphenols, bioactive compounds abundant in plant-based foods, have gained increasing attention for their potential role in modulating gut health and microbiota composition. This article explores the intricate relationship between polyphenols and gut microbiota, shedding light on their mechanisms of action and potential implications for human health. Polyphenols exhibit prebiotic-like effects, selectively promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria while inhibiting the proliferation of pathogenic species. These compounds also possess antimicrobial properties and modulate microbial metabolism, leading to the production of metabolites with health-promoting properties. Understanding the role of polyphenols in gut health and microbiota modulation has significant implications for disease prevention and overall well-being.
