Glossary Phytochemicals

naturally occurring plant compounds with potential health benefits

Phytochemicals are naturally occurring compounds found in plants that can have health benefits. They are not essential nutrients like vitamins or minerals, but they can help protect against diseases and support overall health by acting as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and through other mechanisms. Examples include flavonoids, carotenoids, and polyphenols.
