Green Tea Extract INCI Name Camelia Sinensis Extract EINECS ELINCS No 283-519-7 CAS 84650-60-2 Tea Polyphenols photo picture image When starch is consumed, it requires the enzyme amylase to break it down into simple sugars that can be absorbed in the blood stream. Green tea polyphenols inhibit amylase. One study showed that just one cup of green tea inhibited amylase activity by 87%. Another study showed that green tea extract reduced the normal elevation of glucose and insulin when 50 grams of starch were ingested.

 High blood levels of glucose and insulin predispose people to diabetes and cardiovascular disease, and are associated with accelerated aging. For many people, sugar is the primary culprit in the accumulation of body fat. One animal study showed a significant reduction in body fat in response to green tea catechin supplementation.

 Normally sugar absorbed in body is transferred into energy and utilized. When sugar absorbed in body gets too high to be transferable and deposited in the blood, the blood sugar concentration may increase and lead to diabetes. One way to treat diabetesis is to suppress the activities of amylase and sucrase in the body so as to prevent the body from digesting and absorbing the amylum and extra sugar. The amylum and the extra sugar are finally excreted out of body, and consequently the increase of sugar concentration in the body is under the control.

 Tests show that Tea Polyphenols can suppress the activities of amylase and sucrase in human and animal bodies. Tests in animals and clinical tests prove that, intake of TP 30 minutes before getting amylum or sucrose gains the control of blood sugar from increasing.

 In the meantime, another compound in tea leaves, Tea Polysaccharide, can also effectively reduce blood sugar. It can be concluded that drinking tea has good effect on protection from diabetes.
