How are apple polyphenols different from polyphenols in tea, wine and other foods?
There is a large body of research on the health benefits of red wine, and green and black tea, most of which attributes health benefits of the polyphenol content. The major difference is that apple polyphenols are water soluble, where most other polyphenols are not. This enhances the bioavailability of apple polyphenols, when taken as extracts without the presence of binding sugars.
