Green Tea Extract 850mg Capsules

There are many varieties of tea the main being green, black, and oolong.  For hundreds, if not thousands of years Chinese and Indian practitioners prescribed green tea as a diuretic, an astringent and a stimulant.  They also believed that it treated a myriad other condition from minor to major.  The high levels of antioxidants within contribute to the benefits of the tea.  Antioxidants neutralise free radicals. Free radicals are damaging to the cells and as they rush through the body, that can strike anywhere.

Some free radicals arise normally during metabolism. Sometimes the body’s immune systems cells purposefully create them to neutralise viruses and bacteria. However, environmental factors such as pollution, radiation, cigarette smoke and herbicides can also create massive amounts of free radicals which are very damaging to our bodies’.

It is generally not common knowledge that medium to hard exercise generates free radicals & a lot of them.  It would be wise to take antioxidants prior and after exercise.

The body does of course have its own built-in mechanisms for handling free radicals.  However, one needs to be nutritionally optimised for these to work at their full potential. Therefore, at the very least it would be good insurance to get additional antioxidants into the diet.

Various vitamins such as A, D, E, C, B, B’s, H (biotin) and K.  It is also a rich source of Manganese and has many other beneficial minerals such as selenium, chromium and zinc.

High cholesterol

Research shows that green tea lowers total cholesterol and raises HDL (good) cholesterol in both animals and people. One population-based clinical study found that men who drink green tea are more likely to have lower total cholesterol than those who do not drink green tea.

Results from one study suggest that polyphenols in green tea may block cholesterol from being absorbed in the intestine and also help the body get rid of cholesterol. In another small study of male smokers, researchers found that green tea significantly reduced blood levels of harmful LDL cholesterol.

Metabolism

Clinical studies suggest that green tea extract may boost metabolism and help burn fat. One study found that the combination of green tea and caffeine improved weight loss and maintenance in people who were overweight (as part of a calorie controlled diet). Some researchers think that substances in green tea known as catechins are responsible for the herb's fat-burning effect.

Heart health

Clinical studies that look at populations of people indicate that the antioxidant properties of green tea may help prevent  heart conditions Population-based studies are studies that follow large groups of people over time or studies that compare groups of people living in different cultures or with different diets.

Researchers aren't sure why green tea reduces the risk of heart health problems by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Studies show that black tea has similar effects. In fact, researchers estimate that the rate of a heart problem decreases by 11% with consumption of 3 cups of tea per day.

Animal studies suggest that green tea may help slow the progression once it has developed.In people withSome people make little or no insulin, which helps convert glucose or sugar into energy.
