Tea is a major source of flavonols, a subclass of antioxidant flavonoids present in plant foods which potentially are beneficial to human health. Milk added to tea, a frequent habit in the United Kingdom, could inhibit absorption of tea flavonoids, because proteins can bind flavonoids effectively. Eighteen healthy volunteers each consumed two out of four supplements during three days: black tea, black tea with milk, green tea and water. A cup of the supplement was consumed every 2 hours each day for a total of 8 cups a day. The supplements provided about 100 mu mol quercetin glycosides and about 60 - 70 mu mol kaempferoi glycosides. Addition of milk to black tea (15 mi milk to 135 mi tea) did not change the area under the curve of the plasma concentration-time curve of quercetin or kaempferol. Plasma concentrations reached were about 50 nM quercetin and 30 - 45 nM kaempferol. We conclude that flavonols are absorbed from tea and that their bioavailability is not affected by addition of milk.
