Green Tea Applicable Uses:Antioxidant Ability.

Green Tea Extract INCI Name Camelia Sinensis Extract EINECS ELINCS No 283-519-7 CAS 84650-60-2 Tea Polyphenols photo picture image The human body is constantly producing harmful free radicals. Radicals are very active, with strong oxidation capability. Accumulation of free radicals can weaken and destroy normal functions of cells until cell tissues necroses, which consequently interfere with normal metabolism and cause diseases.

 The antioxidants in Green Tea may also be beneficial in lowering cholesterol hence preventing cardiovascular disease. The data from one 1999 study, which followed over 3,400 tea-drinking residents of Rotterdam, the Netherlands, concluded that regular, long-term tea consumption can have a protective effect against severe atherosclerosis.

 Tea Polyphenols, with polyphenol flavanols, can strongly react to free radicals, providing protons to destroy free radical activities; therefore TP has remarkable anti-oxidation effect. In the test of retarding fatty oil oxidation, TP of 10ug/mL concentration has the same antioxidant activity as Vitamin E of 200ug/mL; TP of 20ug/mL has stronger antioxidant activity than BHA (butylated hydroxyanisole) of 50ug/mL. This test shows the antioxidant activity of TP is far higher than well-known antioxidants BHA and Vitamin E.

 Research shows TP can eliminate various types of organic or inorganic radicals, and TP's antioxidant effect is stronger than that of Vitamin E, Vitamin C, BHA and other antioxidants. TP can even synergize with amino acids and Vitamin C, Vitamin E to enhance the effectiveness of antioxidants.

 Tests in animals show that intake of TP can suppress oxidation of fat and maintain the concentration of antioxidants like Vitamin C and E, and prevent free radicals from destroying DNA.

 Green tea has been the focus of exciting new studies indicating its effectiveness in raising metabolism for weight loss and preventing and fighting cancer and other disease with its super antioxidants. It has a long list of potential health benefits and is used to regulate blood sugar and blood pressure, boost the immune system, prevent ulcers, control inflammation, viral colds and flu, prevents gum disease, cavities, and bad breath. It also been indicated for lowering cholesterol, preventing heart disease, osteoporosis and blood clots.

 Green Tea is well-established as a potent source of healing antioxidants called polyphenols, the same beneficial compounds found in fruits and vegetables and even in red wine. The leaf also boasts the presence of a superstar antioxidant called EGCG (epigallocatechin-gallate) as well as other notable healing substances including fluoride, catechins, and tannins.

 Above all, Tea Polyphenols can prevent the body from oxidation by:
 1. Eliminating free radicals;
 2. Suppressing oxidation;
 3. Increasing antioxidant activity;
 4. Synergizing with other antioxidants for better effect;
 5. Maintaining antioxidant concentration in the body.
