Green Tea Anyone?

Green tea

Family: Tea

Latin name: Camellia sinensis

 

Derived from the plant leaf, green tea is an antioxidant and helps protect from free-radical damage. Phosphates in Green Tea also assist with UV filtering. Commonly consumed as a hot drink it is also a key ingredient in some Triumph & Disaster products.

 

Loaded with polyphenols like flavonoids and catechins, which function as powerful antioxidants. These substances can reduce the formation of free radicals in the body, protecting cells and molecules from damage. These free radicals are known to play a role in aging and all sorts of diseases.

 

One of the more powerful compounds in green tea is the antioxidant epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which has been studied to treat various diseases and may be one of the main reasons green tea has such powerful medicinal properties.
