Abstract
There are a number of factors influencing the bioavailability of polyphenols in an individual including colonic microbial composition, the dose consumed and the presence of other polyphenols and macronutrients within the food matrix. There is evidence of a synergistic relationship between the fibre and flavonoids found in a whole apple, which is likely mediated in part by the gut microbiota. Further human intervention studies investigating the effects of apples of cardiovascular risk factors, and the critical role of the gut microbiota, are warranted.
