EGCG MAX HI POTENCY GREEN TEA.

EgCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, the the largest and most potent of several catechins that are present in green tea. The most consistent clinical research on green tea's health enhancing effects in humans comes from drinkers of Japanese sencha, (the "gold standard" of green tea) which can contain 150 milligrams of EgCG per cup.

Green Tea and Your Health

Extensive epidemiological evidence shows that people consuming high amounts of Japanese green tea live longer, have healthier cholesterol levels, suffer less cardiovascular and liver disease, and may be less susceptible to heart attacks. In fact, a cup of green tea has greater antioxidant activity than a standard serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.

About Green tea
While herbal 'teas' can be brewed from the leaves, flowers, or even roots of almost anything that grows out of the Earth, true tea - both green and black -comes from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. The difference in taste and in health benefits comes from the way the tea leaves are processed: to make back tea, the leaves are fermented, which oxidizes many of the antioxidants present in the leaves, while green tea is produced by lightly steaming the fresh-cut leaf.

Green tea was brought to Japan by Buddhist monks from China, and the Japanese people quickly embraced the soothing, grassy brew. Today, the citizens of Japan boast the longest average lifespan in the world, and there's reams of research to suggest that green tea is a major factor in their robust health.

Green Tea & Heart Health
Green tea's polyphenols have been well studied for their pharmacological activity and have proven to have many benefits for cardiovascular health.
Green tea intake is shown to decrease levels of LDL cholesterol, the cholesterol responsible for cholesterol plaques and the storage of fat, and triglycerides. Green tea also increases levels of HDL cholesterol, which is responsible for moving stored fat to the liver for processing and excretion from the body. HDL cholesterol protects against plaque formation. It also improves blood circulation and decreases inflammation in vessels. Thus green tea can be used to prevent stroke and heart attack. The polyphenols are also antioxidants, protecting cells from oxidative damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that in their bid to become more stable must bump into healthy cells and cause damage.

Green Tea & Weight Loss
Studies have shown Green Tea to have a significant effect on the body's ability to burn fat for energy. In particular a catechin called epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG has proven to safely enhance thermogenesis, resulting in weight loss.

The Importance of Antioxidants
Antioxidants are a class of nutrients that protect the body from damage caused by different factors, most importantly oxidative damage caused by substances called free radicals. Free radicals are known as "reactive oxygen species", or ROS. They are produced when your body uses oxygen for energy. Just as fire emits smoke as a by-product, ROS are emitted from the conversion of oxygen to energy in the human body, eventually causing oxidative damage to body systems. Free radicals are also created when the body is exposed to pollution, cigarette smoke, car exhaust and other harmful environmental toxins.

What makes a free radical a free radical? Free radical molecules are missing the electron in their atomic composition. They attack other molecules and attempt to steal their electrons, thus creating another free radical. This oxidation process continues until key biological molecules and even genes become permanently damaged from electron loss, lowering the immune system's response to disease and adversely affecting other body systems. Scientists now believe this process is also responsible for the body's decline as we age. This theory, known as"the free radical theory of aging", was first proposed by Dr. Denham Harmanin 1954. Over time, if left unchecked, free radicals cause oxidative damage to a wide range of tissues, organs and body systems, slowly damaging more molecules and decreasing immune response. Theoretically, this is why the elderly are so much more fragile and susceptible to disease, much more so than their younger counterparts.

There are different types of antioxidants, and most work better when paired with other antioxidants. This is called synergism. Vitamins can be antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E. The tripeptide glutathione, loosely classified as an amino acid, acts as an antioxidant, along with other true amino acids such as methionine. The raw herbs and vegetables we consume contain natural antioxidants called bioflavonoids and carotenoids, which are effective antioxidants on their own, but are more effective when synergistically combined with other antioxidants. Together these nutrients protect your cells from electron robbery at the hands of larcenous free radicals, protecting the body from disease and slowing the inevitable signs of aging.
