Why Polyphenols Matter
Polyphenols are powerful plant compounds found in foods like berries, dark chocolate, tea, and olive oil. Research shows they support:
- Vascular health (better blood flow, lower blood pressure)
- Reduced inflammation
- Sharper cognitive performance
- Faster exercise recovery
Getting the right daily polyphenol intake can unlock these health benefits consistently.
How Many Polyphenols Per Day?
| Daily Polyphenol Intake | Expected Benefits | Food Examples |
| <200 mg | Minimal effect; below effective range | Low fruit/vegetable diet, little tea/coffee |
| 200–400 mg | Subtle improvements (energy, vascular tone, recovery) | 1 serving Goode Health (320 mg), 1 cup blueberries, 40 g dark chocolate |
| 400–600 mg | Clinically effective range (lower inflammation, improved vascular health, better cognition) | 2 servings Goode Health, 2–3 cups green tea, mixed berries |
| >600 mg | Strong clinical effects; upper beneficial range | High-polyphenol diet (berries, cocoa, EVOO daily) |
Goode Health’s Polyphenol Content
Each serving delivers ~320 mg of polyphenols — right in the clinically effective range.
- 1 serving/day → baseline benefits (vascular, recovery, cognition)
- 2 servings/day → pushes you into the optimal range (>600 mg/day) for maximum, research-backed results
Visualizing the Polyphenol Dose–Response Curve
As polyphenol intake increases, so do the health effects. Goode Health is positioned at the center of the effective zone, making it a reliable way to reach daily targets without needing unrealistic amounts of berries, tea, or chocolate.
Key Takeaway
Polyphenols are the key.
- Aim for 400–600 mg/day for clinically proven results.
- Goode Health makes it simple: just two servings per day puts you in the optimal range.
