This review highlights recent advances in understanding the redox-modulating effects of selected polyphenols, including curcumin, resveratrol, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), quercetin, and anthocyanins. Preclinical studies and clinical trials demonstrate that these compounds exert their protective effects through multiple redox-related mechanisms, such as scavenging reactive oxygen species, activating antioxidant pathways like Nrf2/HO-1, enhancing endogenous antioxidant enzymes, and modulating redox-sensitive inflammatory signaling cytokines in IBD. However, translation to clinical application is challenged by issues such as dual antioxidant/pro-oxidant roles, inconsistent biomarker reporting, lack of serum-based measurements in animal studies, and poor mechanical understanding regarding redox dysfunction. Future research should prioritize standardized redox endpoints and mechanistic validation to advance polyphenol-based therapies.
