The purpose of this study is to investigate the possible antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects of yogurt enriched with polyphenols after 2-week consumption by healthy individuals.
Eighteen healthy adult volunteers of both sexes consumed yogurt (400g per day) enriched with polyphenols (10mg/100g yogurt) or yogurt (400g per day) not enriched with polyphenols for two weeks in a double-blind, crossover, randomized manner.There was a washout period of at least 10 days. Physiological data and blood samples were collected before and after consumption of each yogurt.
