Green Tea Powdered Extract

(90% Polyphenols)

Green Tea (Camellia sinensis) has long been cultivated in China. It is an evergreen shrub or tree that can grow to a height of 30 feet, but is usually maintained at a height of 2 to 3 feet by regular pruning. The parts used are the leaf bud and the two adjacent young leaves together with the stem, broken between the second and third leaf. Older leaves are considered inferior in quality. Green tea is produced and consumed primarily in China, Japan, and a few countries in North Africa and the Middle East.

Green tea is produced by lightly steaming the fresh-cut leaf. It is very high in polyphenols with potent antioxidant and anticancer properties. The major polyphenols in green tea are flavonoids (e.g., catechin, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin gallate, and proanthocyanidins). One cup of green tea usually contains about 300 to 400 milligrams of polyphenols and between 50 to 100 milligrams of caffeine.

Most experimental studies on tea have focused on the cancer- protective aspect. Green tea polyphenols are potent antioxidant compounds that have demonstrated greater antioxidant protection than vitamin C and E in research studies.
