Role of phenolic acid, tannins, stilbenes, lignans and flavonoids in human health - a review

Oluwatoyin Oluwole et al.

Summary: Phytonutrients such as phenolics have significant roles in health and well-being, including antioxidant, chemopreventive, neuroprotective, cardioprotective, and immunomodulatory properties. Citrus fruits, herbs, and cereals are examples of flavonoid sources with biological functions. Regular consumption of plant sources rich in phenolic compounds can reduce oxidative stress, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and slow down memory loss.
