Description
Sanjevani Green Tea Extract provides a reliable, concentrated source of specific beneficial, active compounds that occur naturally in the green tea plant. Green, black, and oolong tea are all derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. Each has somewhat different characteristics depending on how the leaves are prepared. Green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, so the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb.
Sanjevani Green Tea Extract supplies significant amounts of catechin polyphenols, natural compounds in tea that provide antioxidant protection, increase energy expenditure, and promote fat oxidation. Green tea extract may assist weight maintenance as part of a healthy diet and exercise plan.†
- High Potency Extract: Sanjevani Green Tea Extract contains significantly higher amounts of EGCG compared to most green tea extracts. It provides 95% polyphenol content, supplying 50% EGCG (250 mg EGCG per capsule).† Green tea contains several natural, bioactive substances well recognized for their potential health benefits, including important polyphenol compounds. Catechins are the most abundant class of polyphenols in tea. The principle and most active catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Other constituents of green tea include L-theanine, caffeine, tannins, and theaflavins.
- Antioxidant Benefit: Green tea polyphenols are potent antioxidants that reduce free radical induced damage contributing to the inflammatory process. They enhance antioxidant enzyme activities as well as inhibit membrane lipid peroxidation. Their antioxidant potential is related to their ability of the hydroxyl groups to bind and neutralize free radicals.†
- Inflammatory Support:Green tea polyphenols also inhibit the production of arachidonic acid metabolites such as prostaglandins and leukotrienes, resulting in a decreased inflammatory response.
- Weight Management Support: Several studies have suggested a role for green tea extract in promoting weight loss. Studies using green tea extract have found it can significantly suppress food intake, body weight gain, and fat tissue accumulation. Green tea extract has been shown to increase energy expenditure and fat oxidation to an extent that is much greater than can be attributed to its individual components, indicating its effects may be due to a synergistic interaction of catechin polyphenols, caffeine, and L-theanine.†
