Metabolic fate of tea polyphenols and their crosstalk with gut microbiota by Meiyan Wang, Jianying Li, Ting Hu, Hui Zhao

“…After ingestion, TPs may undergo absorption and phase II reaction in the small intestine, and most undigested proportion would be submitted to the colon to interact with gut microbiota. Interactions between gut microbiota and TPs are bidirectional, including not only bacteria-mediated TPs metabolism, e.g., removal of gallic acid moiety and ring fission to release phenolic acid catabolites, but also TPs-based modification of bacterial profiles. …”
