Current Evidence on the Effect of Dietary Polyphenols Intake on Brain Health

Conclusion: Evolving indications suggest that dietary polyphenols may exercise beneficial actions on the central nervous system, thus representing a possible tool to preserve cognitive performance. Key questions to improve the coherence and reproducibility in the development of polyphenols as a possible future therapeutic drug require a better understanding of the sources of polyphenols, their treatment and more standardized tests including bioavailability of bioactive metabolites and studies of permeability of the brain.
