Jarrow Formulas Green Tea 5:1 (100 Capsules)
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.

How do Green Tea & Caffeine helps weight loss?
|
|
|
1. Green Tea contains catechin-polyphenols and caffeine. The catechin-polyphenols restrains the enzyme that tums off catecholamine activity.
2. Catecholamines are responsible for the promotion of fat burning. The caffeine works to support catecholamine production and restrains the enzyme phosphodiesterase.
3. So this means caffeine has the improved ability to burn fatty acids due to the catechinpolyphenols and can act as an inhibitor of the phosphodiesterase enzyme, which turns off fat burning.

The study involved drunk rats that went through spree drinking and then put to sleep with their livers removed. Some of these livers were bathed in a green tea extract solution.
These livers were then transplanted into rats with unhealthy livers. The study found that only 13% of the rats that received livers untreated with green tea survived, while 77% that had received a liver treated with green tea extract had survived.
