FUNCTIONS

Green tea (Camellia sinensis) has been used for many centuries as a popular beverage worldwide. Interestingly, green and black tea are made from the same plant, with black tea being created via the oxidation of green tea leaves. The polyphenols contained in tea, often referred to as catechins, appear to provide the primary health promoting benefits associated with green tea. One such catechin, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), has many antioxidant properties, in addition to supporting the body’s normal response to inflammatory processes as well. Tea catechins also act as antimicrobial agents and as antioxidants.
