Polyphenols May Protect Against Leading Cause of Vision Loss.
Polyphenols are plant-derived compounds with potent antioxidant properties found abundantly in fruits, vegetables, herbs, and spices. Research suggests that polyphenols such as resveratrol, curcumin, quercetin, and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) can inhibit several pathways involved in the progression of age-related macular degeneration, and a polyphenol-rich diet may help protect eye health.
