Chemistry:Oligonol
From HandWiki
Oligonol is a mixture of low molecular weight polyphenols found in lychee fruit.[1] Oligonol is thought to have antioxidant and anti-influenza virus actions.[citation needed] In addition, preliminary research in animal models suggest it may improve blood flow in organs, maintain muscle,[2] reduce weight, and protect skin from harmful UV rays.[3][non-primary source needed] Little is known about the long term safety of supplements containing oligonol due to the lack of scientific research.
