Unravelling phenolic metabotypes in the frame of the COMBAT study, a randomized, controlled trial with cranberry supplementation.

Cranberry consumption affects plasma and urine metabolites, with variations among individuals. Three phenolic metabotypes were identified, mainly driven by colonic metabolism. This innovative approach helps understand (poly)phenol metabolism and individual differences, contributing to studying the health effects of cranberries and other (poly)phenol-rich foods.
