Daily fluid and phenolic intakes of control and experimental rats

Treatment	Water/Rooibos intake/day/100 g BW (mL)	Total phenolic intake (mg GAE/day/100 g BW)	Flavonol intake (mg QE/day/100 g BW)	Flavanol intake (mg CE/day/100 g BW)
Control	10.44 ± 1.06	ND	ND	ND
LPS	10.68 ± 0.76	ND	ND	ND
Rooibos	9.86 ± 0.88	10.45 ± 0.93	4.20 ± 0.38	1.59 ± 0.14
Rooibos + LPS	9.92 ± 0.49	10.51 ± 0.52	4.23 ± 0.21	1.60 ± 0.08

Calculations of the total phenolic, flavonol and flavanol intakes were calculated based on the soluble solid intake obtained from the average rooibos consumption per day. Values are mean ± SD (n = 10). ND (not determined), BW (body weight), CE (catechin equivalent), GAE (gallic acid equivalent), QE (quercetin equivalent), LPS (lipopolysaccharide).
