Green Tea
Extract: Green Tea has been used in China medicinally
for thousands of years. Green Tea benefits have been researched
extensively due to their possible role in boosting the body’s
immune system and fighting heart disease and cancer. Its main
chemicals are called catechins of which ECGC is the most
abundant. ECGC is where the therapeutic value is believed to
lie. These benefits include lowering LDL cholesterol while
improving the ratio of HDL to LDL, promoting weight loss through
thermogenesis and guarding against cancer by neutralizing
free-radical toxins. Green Tea contains powerful antioxidants
which can help boost the immune system and protect against
disease. It has shown in studies to reduce the risk of
esophageal cancer and that a compound in Green Tea inhibits the
growth of cancer cells. |
