Polyphenol Isolate

Polyphenols, or flavonoids, are chemical compounds with larger molecules, found in all plant leaves, bark, fruits and flowers. Their function is to produce pigment and photo protection, acting as a defense mechanism against hostile environmental conditions. Photo protection occurs because the pigment produced by the polyphenols, will absorb light. Therefore, polyphenols are considered UV-absorbing compounds, and accumulate mainly in the epidermal cells of plant tissues. The epidermal layers of plants can absorb 90-99% of ultraviolet radiation. These absorption properties can serve as protection against potentially harmful radiation.

One thing that all of the different phenolic compounds have in common is that their molecular structure includes a ring of six carbon atoms with at least one -OH group attached. Poly refers to more than one –OH attachment. Sometimes you will see "phenyl" as part of a chemical name; this also means the compound contains a phenolic ring. The majority of phenolic compounds found in botanicals can accurately be called polyphenols.

Polyphenols are known powerful antioxidants acting as free radical scavengers by their electron and hydrogen donating capabilities. The flavonoids or polyphenol family of antioxidants account for wound healing and anti-inflammatory reaction on the skin. These flavonoids include green tea polyphenols as well as silymarin.

Isolation is a process that refers to separating the polyphenols from their source through varying methods including dehydration, rehydration and centrifuge, then extracting its DNA and synthesizing the molecular structure. This can then be labeled as the ingredient, Polyphenol Isolate.
