If man has no tea in him, he is incapable of understanding truth and beauty

About Me

I am really interested in reducing the risk of esophageal cancer in you. University of Purdue researchers concluded that a compound found in me inhibits the growth of cancer cells. Research also indicate that drinking me lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.

..TABLE

The secret of me lies in the fact i am rich in catechin polyphenols, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: besides inhibiting the growth of cancer cells, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and inhibiting the abnormal formation of blood clots. The latter takes on added importance when you consider that thrombosis (the formation of abnormal blood clots) is the leading cause of heart attacks and stroke.

The high antioxidant activity of me makes it beneficial for protecting the body from oxidative damage due to free radicals. Research shows that I may help the arterial wall by reducing lipids. I can protect against experimentally induced DNA damage, and slow or halt the initiation and progression of undesirable cell colonies. Studies show evidence that I provide immunoprotective qualities, particularly in the case of patients undergoing radiation or chemotherapy. White blood cell count appear to be maintained more effectively in patients consuming me compared to non-supplemented patients.

I am manufactured from fresh, unfermented tea leaves; the oxidation of catechins is minimal, and hence they are able to serve as antioxidants. Researchers believe that catechin is effective because it easily sticks to proteins, blocking bacteria from adhering to cell walls and disrupting their ability to destroy them. Viruses have 'hooks' on their surfaces and can attach to cell walls. The catechin in me prevents viruses from adhering and causing harm. Catechin reacts with toxins created by harmful bacteria (many of which belong to the protein family) and harmful metals such as lead, mercury, chrome, and cadmium.

I have so much health bennefits that all Japanese restaurants make it a point to serve me at every meal.

I am grown in clean, unpolluted environment. Unlike Western tea, Chinese or Japanese I as consumed do not undergo any kind of fermentation or artificial processing
