Why Polyphenols Matter

 

Polyphenols are powerful plant compounds found in foods like berries, dark chocolate, tea, and olive oil. Research shows they support:

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.
