The interactions between tea polyphenols (TP) and intestinal microbiota play a significant role in ameliorating neurological diseases and enhancing host immunity. Based on the bidirectional relationship between the brain and the intestines, TP shows promise in improving host health through modulating intestinal bacteria.
Tea polyphenols (TP) are one of the most functional and bioactive substances in tea. The interactions between TP and intestinal microbiota suggest that probiotics intervention is a useful method to ameliorate neurological diseases. Now, numerous researches have suggested that TP plays a significant role in modulating intestinal bacteria, especially in the area of sustaining a stable state of intestinal microbial function and abundance. Furthermore, homeostatic intestinal bacteria can enhance the immunity of the host. The close reciprocity between intestinal microbiota and the central nervous system provides a new chance for TP to modulate neural-related diseases depending on intestinal microbiota. Therefore, based on the bidirectional relationship between the brain and the intestines, this review provides a new clue to solve insomnia symptoms and related neurological diseases that will enable us to better study the bidirectional effects of TP and intestinal microbiota on the improvement of host health. Practical applications This review provides a new clue to solve insomnia symptoms and related neurological diseases that will enable us to better study bidirectional effects of TP and intestinal microbiota on the improvement of host health.
