Jarrow Formulas Green Tea 500 Mg - 100 Caps

Green tea is the oldest form of tea. It contains biochemical compounds called polyphenols, which include flavonoids. Flavonoids are antioxidants, which prevent cell damage thought to contribute to more than 50 illnesses. Today, scientific research in both Asia and the west is providing hard evidence for the health benefits long associated with drinking green tea. For example, in 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking green tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in green tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells. There is also research indicating that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol. Green tea contains the flavonoid EGCG, a potent antioxidant. To sum up, here are just a few medical conditions in which drinking green tea can be helpful:

• Impaired immune function,
• High cholesterol levels,
• Infection,
• Rheumatoid arthritis,
• Cariovascular disease,
• Cancer.

Green Tea can also help burning calories and preventing tooth decay. Jarrow Formulas Green Tea 5:1 is water extracted and consists of 40% polyphenols, including 30% catechins. Catechins are flavan monomers, the building blocks of OPCs. OPCs, OligoProanthoCyanidins, are polymers (or chains)of flavans. Catechins are generally more bioavailable and more potent antioxidants than proanthocyanidins.
