Polyphenols & the Biology of Concussion Recovery

A concussion triggers more than a neurological response. Nutrition provides the energy, substrates, and cofactors the body needs after a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Researchers have studied certain bioactive compounds found in plants for their effects on pathways involved in inflammation, oxidative balance, mitochondrial function, vascular biology, and cellular defense. This is where a multi-polyphenol approach becomes relevant.
