Source Naturals Green Tea Extract is standardized for bioflavonoidlike antioxidants
known as polyphenols, particularly (-)epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG
has been found in scientific studies to be a potent antioxidant.
The Tale of Green Tea
Green, black and oolong teas are all processed from the young leaves of Camellia
sinensis, a white-flowered evergreen that originated in southeastern Asia. Monks
brought it to Japan and from there it spread around the world. The three basic
types of tea are classified by processing method. Black tea is made by fermenting
and roasting the leaves, giving it a dark color and rich taste. Oolong is partially
fermented. Green tea is lightly steamed so it retains the chlorophyll of the
leaf and its green color, along with high concentrations of polyphenol compounds.
The Science of Green Tea
All teas contain polyphenols, which are chemical compounds that act as antioxidants.
In green tea the main polyphenols are the catechins, including gallocatechin
(GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate
(EGCG). Studies have shown that these catechins are the beneficial, health-promoting
components of green tea, especially EGCG, a proven powerful antioxidant.
Health Benefits of Green Tea
Catechins have significant antioxidant power and may prove to be heart healthy
agents in combating lipid peroxidation within the cell membranes that line arterial
walls. Antioxidants neutralize destructive free radicals and support cardiovascular
health by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol is an
unstable molecule that damages the integrity of arteries. Research shows that
EGCG is a much more potent antioxidant than vitamin C or vitamin E.
The catechins in green tea have been shown to fight foreign organisms and help
prevent the plaque buildup that leads to poor dental health. Research shows
that green tea also promotes healthy glucose levels in the blood stream by enhancing
the action of insulin.
