Abstract:
Health benefits of dietary polyphenols are mediated in part by metabolites produced by intestinal microbiota. Considering that select probiotic bacteria strains metabolize polyphenols, we hypothesized that adding probiotics to a polyphenol-enriched diet would improve the health outcomes of polyphenol consumption. In separate studies, we found that dietary co-supplementation with probiotics and polyphenol-rich fruit reduced the health benefits of either supplement alone. Polyphenol absorption, measured by urine hippuric acid, was not impaired by cosupplementation. Nor was probiotic viability reduced in the combined vs. probiotic diet. Identifying reasons for the interference requires further study of how probiotics affect resident microbiota communities and metabolite output.
