The absorption of dietary polyphenols in humans is schematically illustrated. The polyphenols are extensively modified during the absorption: the glycosides could be hydrolyzed in the small intestine or in the colon, and the released aglycones could be absorbed. Prior to the passage into the blood stream, the polyphenols undergo to other structural modifications due to the conjugation process, mainly in the liver.
