Enterodiol is an organic compound with the formula [HOC 6 H 4 CH 2 CH(CH 2 OH)] 2 . It is formed by the action of intestinal bacteria on lignan precursors. As such it is sometimes classified as a enterolignan or mammalian lignan. Elevated levels of enterodiol in urine are attributed consumption of tea and other lignan-rich foods.
