Polyphenols Applications 2025: Concluding Remarks

Rethinking Prevention: How Polyphenols Are Reshaping Health and Innovation.

Over these two days we've seen something very clear. Polyphenols are no longer just a scientific curiosity. They are becoming a strategic tool for health innovation and sustainability.

We explored how polyphenols

• ⁠Interact with our microbiota and influence brain metabolism and immunity
• Play a growing role in cardiovascular kidney and brain health
• Can be extracted formulated and delivered in smarter more efficient ways
• And how we can give value to food waste to create new functional ingredients and sustainable products

But beyond the data and presentations what really stood out is this:

• The need to connect the science with real strategies.
• The need to build bridges between research clinics and industry 
• And the urgency to act because chronic diseases are rising and we need natural safe and effective solutions

This congress was not just about polyphenols. It was about rethinking prevention designing better food systems and preparing for the medicine of tomorrow.

We thank every speaker every young researcher and every partner who joined us. And we invite you to keep the momentum alive.

Let's continue working together with purpose with creativity and with impact.

See you at Polyphenols 2026.
