Green Tea Applicable Uses:Anti-allergy and anti-inflammation.

Green Tea Extract INCI Name Camelia Sinensis Extract EINECS ELINCS No 283-519-7 CAS 84650-60-2 Tea Polyphenols photo picture image Allergy is generally categorized into four types: type I allergy (immediate allergy), type II allergy (solve cells allergy), type III allergy (immunocomplex allergy) and type IV allergy (delayed allergy). Type I, immediate allergy, is the most common one, such as urticaria, vascular neural dropsy, allergic rhinitis, bronchial asthma, etc.

 Type I allergy process is that allergen provokes lymph cells in the body and produces IgE, which leads to allergic cells through synthesis with hypertrophy cells and IgE-affected basophile. The allergic cells release histindine, 5-hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) and other bioactive components, which cause a series of physiological reactions, i.e. allergy.

 Anti-allergy medicines commonly work to suppress allergic components from releasing, and many of them are anti-histindine medicines. Histindine, one of the components released from allergy, causes the symptoms like skin red and swollen, itching, stains, coughing, panting, stomach and intenstine convulsion and so on.

 Researches show that Tea Polyphenols, especially its epigallocatechin gallate and epicatechin gallate, have strong anti-allergy effects by suppressing hypertrophy cells from releasing histindine. (Graph II-2.)

 What's more, TP anti-allergy effect is far stronger than Tranilast, an anti-allergy medicine frequently used nowadays. During the tests with tea water, the extractions from green tea , Oolong tea and black tea, all show their anti-inflammation effect. Studies have been made on the Chinese conventional therapy for early-stage asthma with old fermented Oolong tea or black tea.
