Polyphenol Microbial Metabolites Exhibit Gut and Blood-Brain Barrier Permeability and Protect Microglia Against Inflammation

Shows that polyphenol microbial metabolites cross both the gut and blood-brain barriers more readily than their parent compounds and protect brain microglia against inflammation. Provides the scientific basis for BHERI's pairing of polyphenols with the omega-3 protocol to aid blood-brain-barrier delivery.
