Amazing Green Tea with 95% EGCG
Green tea quintessence hot water extract is a ,water soluble, bioflavonoid rich, potent extract used primarily for fighting free radicals.The polyphenols are generally considered to be the most important elements of the tea. There are two different types of polyphenols – Catechins and Tannins, which are found in Green tea and Black tea respectively. We will emphasize here about beneficial affect of Green Tea polyphenols on human health.
There are eight types of catechins found in Green Tea: catechin (C), catechin gallate (CG), gallocatechin (GC), gallocatechin gallate (GCG), epicatechin (EC), epigalocatechin (EGC),epicatechingalate (ECG), epigalocatechingalate (EGCG). EGCG is by far the most active by itself, but the combination of catechins is especially effective for cancer protection. Although the numbers vary, green tea raw material is generally made up of about 10-15% polyphenols, 50% of which is EGCG
EGCG is more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing the pro-oxidants and free radicals that attack lipids in the brain. This important ingredient, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG), protects against digestive and respiratory infections, helps to block the cancer promoting actions of carcinogens.
Main benefits of Green tea polyphenols are listed below:
1-As Free radical scavenger.
Free radicals are harmful oxygen compounds generate within our bodies as consequence of digestive process. These are not something that we can stop and bind; they occur naturally. As destructive agents to our tissues, they are responsible for aging, cancer, strokes, renal failure, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cirrhosis and arteriosclerosis. When the body matures, its ability to fight free radicals diminishes. Green tea helps by scavenging free radicals within the body with an amazing pace.
2-Keeping glucose levels in check.
Controlling blood glucose levels can be difficult in fast pace life. However, green tea can help. Green tea is an effective tool for lowering blood glucose level in humans. It is a boon for diabetic people.
3-Anti-microbial activity, improvement of intestinal microflora
Many people are affected with improper digestion. Verotoxins, also known as Shiga-like toxins, are dangerous inhibitors of protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells. They pass through the small intestine and into the large, resulting in Escherichia Coli 0-157. They also play a key role in hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome. Catechins inhibit verotoxin production, thus countering its destructive and harmful effects.
4-Lowering of cholesterol
Cholesterol is a well-known danger to health. Finding it, in conjunction with peroxidized phospholipids in blood vessels, can indicate many lifestyle-related diseases. Fortunately, the abundant catechins found in green tea clean up cholesterol in blood vessels.
5-Oral Care
Green tea provides the mouth with more than great flavor. Catechins of Green Tea inhibit bacterial growth and the ability of cariogenic bacteria to adhere to teeth. Green tea catechins also fight periodontal disease and halitosis, commonly known as bad breath.
