Antioxidant protection is critical for the cardiovascular system, vision, skin, and immune system. Polyphenols support the functions of these organs against free radical damage from normal metabolic activity which is part of the aging process. Non-clinical research suggests that ECGC in Green Tea extract is more powerful than Vitamin E. Compared to Vitamin C, epigallocatechin gallate is also more effective in neutralising free radicals. Green tea extract promotes serum cholesterol balance by ensuring healthy ratio between the good and bad cholesterol. It also prevents platelets from clumping together that may obstruct blood flow in the blood vessels and compromise circulation. According to experts, organic green tea extract is rich in fluoride, which naturally protects and strengthens the teeth against tooth decay. Green tea supplements are considered useful in weight control because of its potent thermogenic properties, meaning it has the ability to support efficient burning of fat calories.
Tea is the most consumed beverage in the world, and the plant to where it came from is also one of the most famous herbs with astounding health benefits. Green tea extract comes from the tea plant (Camelia Sinensis) that naturally grows in different regions all over the world. The many green tea benefits to health are due to a group of polyphenols in green tea called catechins. There are six primary catechin compounds found in green tea extract, these includes: catechin, epicatechin, gallaogatechin, epigallocatechin, epicatechin gallate, and the most powerful epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). This catechin group emits powerful antioxidant activities that combats free radicals produced from oxidation. These free radicals attack the cells, causes damages that even leads to cell death. Cell death can lead to tissue damage and also organ failure. With the same antioxidant mechanism, catechins protect the body from the harmful effects of pollution, smoking, and alcoholism. High-potency antioxidants help invigorate and revitalise the skin to maintain its youthful glow. In fact, green tea extract is an active ingredient to different skin care products like facial creams, lotions, and ointments that promises a healthier skin. Source Naturals Green Tea Extract contains standardised formulation of catechins, especially EGCG to provide the body with green tea benefits in a very convenient package.
