Product Description

Why Are Antioxidants Important? Your body is under attack by highly unstable and reactive groups of atoms called free radicals. Free radicals are formed when oxygen interacts with certain molecules. Once created, these dangerous atoms spin out of control, attacking cell membranes, cellular DNA, and other important cellular structures. Free radical attack slows cellular function and ultimately causes premature cell death, and can lead to impaired immune activity. Antioxidants help protect your body's cells by scavenging the oxygen free radicals that can damage them. Antioxidants can help slow down and ultimately stop free radical damage to vital cell structures. Why Green Tea Extract? Researchers discovered the health benefits of green tea while seeking the reason for low incidences of disease among the Japanese people. Several studies identified the polyphenols and catechins in the green tea most Japanese consume to be a major dietary factor in their longevity and resilience. Specifically, research found polyphenols, and primarily EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), to have antioxidant activity 25 to 100 times more potent than that of vitamins C and E. In many of these studies, a minimum of three cups of green tea was shown to give some health benefit. However, many researchers believe you need to consume much larger amounts up to 10 cups per day to receive the full antioxidant benefit of EGCG and green tea's other catechins.
