Bioavailability of chlorogenic acids in rats after acute ingestion of mat é tea ( Ilex paraguariensis ) or 5-caffeoylquinic acid

ConclusionThe study confirms that not only absorption, but also metabolization of CGAs begins in stomach. There were differences in compounds formed from mat é tea or isolated 5-CQA, showing that CGAs profile in food may influence qualitatively and quantitatively the metabolites formed in the body.
