INTRODUCING CAROB POLYHENOLS
Discover the science behind nature’s gut-friendly, anti-aging power compounds
What are Polyphenols?
A simple intro for newcomers:
- Natural antioxidant compounds found in plants.
- Carob polyphenols belong to a unique group called tannins and flavonoids.
- Known for anti-inflammatory, anti-aging, and gut health benefits.
Why Carob?
- Carob pods: a Mediterranean superfruit with high polyphenol content.
- Sustainable, traditionally used for health and nutrition.
- Rich in prebiotic fiber and bioactive plant compounds.

The Health Potential
- Supports gut microbiome diversity
- Helps reduce abdominal fat (visceral fat)
- Contributes to satiety and appetite regulation
-
May slow cellular aging via antioxidant effects
Gut Health & Microbiome Support
- Polyphenols serve as prebiotic substrates.
- Encourage beneficial gut bacteria like Akkermansia and Bifidobacterium.
- Linked to reduced gut inflammation and improved barrier function.

Anti-Aging & Metabolic Benefits
- Neutralize free radicals to reduce oxidative stress.
- Polyphenols have been linked to reduced risk of metabolic syndrome.
- May help protect against age-related decline.
