And there's something we used to call the blood-brain barrier, which you've probably heard of, which is seen to be the place where the barrier that stops a lot of stuff

entering the brain and potentially upsetting it.

It's now called the neurovascular unit, NVU, and it is so exciting.

And the more we look at it,

So far, the more we find that the things that help the neurovascular unit, the blood-brain barrier, are plants.

And we have green tea.

And, you know, we can, if you really want to help our brain health, regular drinking of green tea, you know, has been shown to be really useful.

Not that, rather than the supplement, by the way, it's the drink that you have.

I'll put it in here.

Because it contains a number of, again, polyphenols.

And polyphenols are those?
