Green Tea Extract

Green Tea extract (decaffeinated)

This green tea extract from Japan is a 100:1 herbal extract containing catechins, a class of powerful antioxidant compounds known as polyphenols. It contains a minimum of 90% catechins, with epigallocatechin gallate, the most potent catechin, making up a minimum of 70% of the content. Decaffeinated green tea extract counteracts damaging lipid peroxidation and enhances antioxidant enzyme activity.

This concentrated extract contains a high epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) content, providing potent antioxidant support for all cells in the body.

• Green tea, or unfermented tea, constitutes approximately 20% of all the tea consumed in the world.
• The extract of Green tea provides a concentrated source of catechins, which not only are the predominant constituents in green tea, but possess numerous beneficial properties.*

Green tea extract, or its constituents, have been shown to decrease the mutagenicity of several carcinogens including:

• Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH)*
• Benzo(a)pyrene (B(a)P), and its ultimate carcinogen, BPDE-2*
• Aflatoxin B1 (AFB1)*
• 7,12-Dimethylbenz (a) anthracene (DMBA)*
• Cigarette smoke*

Specific anti-carcinogenic effects include:

• Inhibiting the activation of carcinogens by:
  1. Decreasing cytochrome P-450 monooxygenase activities*
  2. Inhibiting nitrosation*
  3. Inhibiting the binding of carcinogens to DNA*
• Possessing potent antioxidant activity*
• Increasing the degradation of carcinogens once they are formed*
• Inhibiting Clostridium species associated with colon cancer*

• Inhibits angiotensin I converting enzyme (ACE)*
• Decrease platelet aggregation with a potency equal to or slightly less than that of aspirin*
• Decrease serum TXB2*
• Decrease serum fibrinogen levels*
• Decrease platelet adhesion*
• Decrease LDL-stimulated proliferation of smooth muscle*

ANTIOXIDANT ACTIVITY Green tea extract, or the individual catechins, have been shown to:

• Possess significant antioxidant activity against free-radicals including superoxide radical (02)*
• Decrease plasma, kidney, liver, and brain lipid peroxidation*
• Decrease free radical-induced cytotoxicity*
• Decrease activity of oxidative enzymes (eg, xanthine oxidase and lipoxygenase)*
• Increase activity of antioxidant enzymes (eg, glutathione-S-transferase activity and superoxide dismutase)*

OTHER EFFECTS Green tea extract, or the individual catechins, have been shown to possess:

• Decreased HIV-reverse transcription and DNA & RNA polymerases*
• Decreased liver lipid accretion*
• Decreased percent bodyfat*
• Decreased alpha-amylase activity*
• Decreased blood glucose*
• Decreased glycosylation*
• Anti-Aging*
• Decreased advanced glycosylated end products*
• Increased enzyme activity in aged animals*
• Stimulatory Effects Increased natural killer cell activity*
• Increased bifidobacterium species*
• Increased bowel movement regulatory in humans, which could be due to increased fecal volatile fatty acids*

DIRECTIONS:1-4 vegetarian capsules per day, in divided doses, between meals
