Polyphenols are probably the most understated natural substance in the medicine world. Mainly because intense studies have only been going on for less than 10 years. The more studies scientists and doctors do on polyphenols, the more capabilities are added to the list of the many things that polyphenols can do. To give an idea of some of the things polyphenols have been known to do (so far) are, to increase metabolisim, destroy organ fat, regrow lost hair, rejeuvinates skin and hair, reduces or eliminates certain diseases, improves muscle strength, restores damaged tissue and cells to original states. There is more that is still to be discovered about polyphenols.

Polyphenols reduce and eliminate free radicals that destroy cells. If there are no free radicals healthy cells are allowed to grow. There have been many studies around the world that have proven polyphenols have the ability to restore damaged cells and tissue without harming the body. If we think about it, that's all cancer is. Damaged cells and tissue. Simply put, if we can restore cells back to the way they were, cancer would be eliminated. (I'm sure the FDA doesn't appreciate me saying that, but the FDA is the organization that approved Vioxx, a cholesterol medicine that killed over 10,000 people and injured many more. Which they are now in settlement for $4.85 billion) thats only one drug. God only knows what the rest add up to. (So it's up to you what to believe. An organization that approves chemicals that kill people or natural medicine).

Another property that studies have shown polyphenols have, is to increase cellular activity. Not only can they do the aforementioned but also speed up activity of the cells that would improve overall health at a faster rate. (Polyphenols have also been shown to have affects on aging). Soon polyphenols will be royalty in the natural medicine world.
