The aim is to understand the interactions between dietary polyphenols, gut microbiota, and the gut-brain axis during menopause.
Review of existing literature on polyphenols, gut microbiota, and menopause.
Analysis of the impact of hormonal changes on gut health and inflammation.
Examination of microbial metabolites and their effects on the immune system.
Dietary polyphenols help modulate gut microbiota composition during menopause.
Hormonal changes lead to chronic inflammation and metabolic shifts.
Gut-derived metabolites influence immune function and endocrine health in postmenopausal individuals.

Implication

This perspective examines how dietary polyphenols affect gut microbiota and immune factors in menopause, suggesting new health implications.

Abstract

Hormonal decline, chronic low-grade inflammation, metabolic alterations and polypharmacy shape the postmenopausal period. These factors remodel the gut microbiota and influence the production of microbial metabolites that modulate immune, endocrine,...
