摘要：Background: As flavonoids have a variety of functions, such as antioxidant activity, there is a
growing interest in the development of flavonoid supplements. However, there have been reports
of DNA damage due to exposure to flavonoids at high concentrations in rats, which could suggest
that a habitual intake of flavonoid supplements may cause toxicity. Therefore, we considered that
ingesting flavonoids from a typical meal combined with basic foodstuffs is safe because it is
unlikely to result in high concentrations like supplements and focused on the intake of flavonoids
from a typical meal. Thus, this study investigated the absorption of flavonoids in humans after the
consumption of a typical meal.
