Apple Polyphenols Overview
Apple polyphenols are phytochemicals extracted from apples, containing compounds such as chlorogenic acid, phlorizin, phloretin, epicatechin, procyanidins, quercetin, and kaempferol. These polyphenols are believed to offer therapeutic benefits primarily through their antioxidant effects. They are commonly used for conditions like hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and obesity, although there's insufficient reliable information to rate their effectiveness for these uses. Apple polyphenols are typically considered safe when used orally, short-term, or topically, with no known major drug interactions. They are absorbed in the gut, with salivary digestion playing a role, and are metabolized via methylation, sulfation, and glucuronidation before being released into the bloodstream.
