Medicinal herbs contain polyphenols and thousands of other chemical constituents which influence metabolic pathways and gene expression. The largest categories include triterpenes (30,000-plus) and alkaloids (16,000-plus). Medical nutrition has focused on the benefits of polyphenol bioflavonoids (antioxidant, anti-inflammatory) and the much-publicized saponins (adaptogenic triterpenoids). Research into the benefits of medicinal plant compounds is still rudimentary, but developing knowledge of the workings of the secondary metabolites of plants is expanding established concepts of metabolic modification and expression of genetic polymorphisms.
