Polyphenol Variety Score
Tracking diverse plant polyphenol sources—many plant types weekly supports gut and metabolic health beyond one hero food.
A polyphenol variety score counts diverse plant compounds from berries, tea, cocoa, herbs, and colorful produce—associated with gut and cardiovascular benefits in observational data. Eating thirty different plant types weekly is a practical proxy; repetition of one superfood is not enough.
Common questions
-
Do polyphenol supplements replace food variety?
Whole plants deliver fiber and synergistic compounds supplements miss. Use powders as adjuncts, not substitutes for diverse meals.
