Polyphenol supplementation benefits human health via gut microbiota: A systematic review via meta-analysis
Open accessAbstract
Polyphenol supplementation attracts much research attentions due to beneficial effects on human health. Gut microbiota significantly shape human health, but polyphenols in changing human gut microbiota remain elusive. This study aimed to use meta-analytic methods to reveal the effects of polyphenol-rich foods on the abundance of human gut microbiota. Significant heterogeneity analysis showed the polyphenol intake dose and sources variedly affected on abundance of gut microbiota. Polyphenol supplementation stimulated the abundance of Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium health promoting species, but inhibited the abundance of Clostridium pathogenic species in gut microbiota of human subjects. Notably, peak increase of abundance of Lactobacillus, Bifidobacterium, and Clostridum health promoting species was at polyphenol intake of 396 mg/d, 540 mg/d, and 593 mg/d respectively. Taken together, polyphenol supplementation shapes gut microbiota species, contributing to benefits in human health.

In the citing paper
“Polyphenols display a “prebioticlike” effect, increasing the growth of beneficial bacterial strains, such as bifidobacteria and lactobacilli, while reducing the number of potential pathogens, such as C. perfringens and C. histolyticum in a dose-dependent manner (83,84).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
