polyphenol supplements
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
Polyphenols are a very, very wide group of compounds.
The most aggressive cleaning agents also contain polyphenols.
Polyphenols are not nutrients, but compounds with specific, sometimes pharmaceutical properties; anti-oxidant and pro-oxidant, toxic or non-toxic.
In plants, polyphenols are often there for protection against being consumed.
The reason why they are advocated as supplements: money.
The reason why they can get away with it: molecules with aggressive properties generally also have anti-cancer properties.
So, yes, you can attribute 'beneficial' effects to such compounds, but also very adverse effects.
Health is not about supplementation, but about ingesting sufficient of all nutrients and as little of toxins (which includes many polyphenols).
The best way to do so is by simply consuming foods naturally designed to be consumed by humans.

Olive oil
Are the polyphenols in olive oil in this group of compounds?

In the group of polyphenols there is a wide variety of compounds with very different properties, so we have to look at them individually.
