Green Tea Ingredients

POLYPHENOLS are naturally occurring compounds that act as powerful antioxidants. They are the most abundant group of plant phenolic compounds, known to provide much of the flavor, color and taste of fruits, vegetables, seeds, and other parts of the plants. As dietary source of biologically active compounds they prove to be valuable for health. Some of their benefits include reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and other degenerative disease. These effects of polyphenols come as a result of their antioxidant, antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic properties.

CATECHINS are a class of polyphenol present in high concentration in green tea. Catechins are what make green tea special. They make up the bulk of green tea’s antioxidants, and therefore its healing potential. Catechins prevent oxidation, they are anticarcinogenic, lower cholesterol level and the level of LDL in bloodstream, retard blod pressure increase, retard coagulation of red blood cells, prevent allergies, act as an antibiotic, improve viral digestion in the intestines and eliminate body odor.

FLAVONOLS are another group of polyphenols known for their strong antioxidant properties. They help trap and destroy free radicals and peroxides, keeping them from destroying body tissue. They also work together with vitamin C to help strengthen blood vessel walls.

GLYCOSIDES are complex sugars which prevent increase in blood sugar.

CAROTENE is an organic compound found as well in orange and yellow fruits and vegetables. Carotene is used by the body to make vitamin A. It prevents oxidation, increases immunity and is anitcarginogenic.

FLOURIDE is a mineral which helps to harden tooth enamel, preventing cavities.

CAFFEINE , which excites the central nervous system, prevents asthma, increases metabolic rate and is also a diuretic. The amount of caffeine varies depending on its type and preparation, but anyways, green tea definitely contains less caffeine than black tea and much less than coffee.
