Benefits of Green Tea Extract

LifeSource Vitamins

Green tea extract is the concentrated active ingredients extracted from green tea. The benefits of green tea extract stem from the antioxidant action of nutrients called "polyphenols". Because green tea is made from the unfermented leaves of the camellia sinensis plant, it has far more of these antioxidants than black tea, which is fermented. Antioxidants help prevent damage to the body that is a by-product of aging and metabolism.

The health benefits of green tea extract have been known since ancient times. Green tea has been prescribed for centuries as part of ancient Chinese medicine. For years, western doctors have ignored the wealth of knowledge represented in traditional medicine, discounting it as "folklore" and "old wives' tales". Recent research has made western doctors think twice, though. A number of recent and on-going studies strongly suggest that the health benefits of green tea extract are very real.

How Green Tea Extract Helps You

The polyphones in green tea extract are among the most powerful antioxidants known, and that is the source of the benefits of green tea extract. Antioxidants have been shown by research to help prevent cancer, heart disease, age related vision loss and many other diseases and conditions that accompany aging.

Specifically:

- The benefits of Green tea extract can help prevent atherosclerosis. Several population based studies comparing cultures that consume green tea in large amounts strongly suggest that green tea helps prevent heart disease.

- Green tea extract have been shown to lower overall cholesterol while raising HDL - the good cholesterol in a number of animal and human controlled studies.

- More benefits of Green tea extract - the antioxidants in green tea extract help prevent cancer. The cancer rates in countries like Japan, where green tea is consumed regularly are consistently lower than those in countries that don't drink green tea. Researchers pinpoint the polyphones in green tea as an important weapon in the body's fight against cancer.

- Green tea extract helps prevent the development of diabetes and slow its progression once it has developed. Researchers in one study fed green tea extract to mice that were genetically engineered to develop diabetes. The mice that ate diets supplemented with green tea extract did not develop diabetes on schedule. Catechin, the active ingredient in green tea extract, may help in the treatment of viral hepatitis. One study found that men who drank 10 or more cups of green tea are less likely to develop liver disorders than men who don't.

Because green tea contains caffeine, most nutritionists recommend using a green tea supplement, or a health supplement that includes extract of green tea along with other nutrients, vitamins and minerals that work together. The proper balance of vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids and antioxidants work together synergistically, with each ingredient supporting and increasing the bioavailability and effectiveness of the others.

Synergy is one important factor in choosing the right supplement for your health needs. Another is quality. Because the FDA does not regulate the production of nutritional supplements, the health supplement industry has taken steps to self-regulate. When you choose a health supplement, look for one that follows GMP protocols in packaging and handling all ingredients in their supplements.
