If you don’t know what a polyphenol is, but are afraid to ask….basically a natural chemical class in many herbs, veggies, and fruits that posses numerous antioxidant properties. So what? In this case, they may be protecting your liver or even helping it to heal.
The article lists many sources, but a short list includes pomegranate, resveretrol, and EGCG from green tea. Many of these polyphenols currently have research studies attempting to answer questions about their efficacy in liver diseases. These disease include fatty liver, toxic liver, hepatitis C and others. Many are showing promise in clinical or lab models of disease.
We at Sanctuary Functional already use many of these polyphenols to benefit our patients. Pomegranate is a favorite of this functional MD in aiming to live a healthier more abundant life.
