Polyphenol Metabolism and Personalized Nutrition in Menopause (PolyPause).
Sponsor: National Research Council, Spain
Summary
The study aims to evaluate the role of the gut microbiome and phageome in explaining interindividual variability in the metabolic response to polyphenol-rich nutraceuticals among menopausal women. Insights from this research will support the development of personalized nutrition strategies to improve quality of life and reduce cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk during menopause.
