Product information for Vitals Groene Thee-PS: Application of Vitals Groene Thee-PS: Green tea is one of the oldest beverages in the world, with a history dating back some 5,000 years. Green tea is widely consumed, particularly in China and Japan. As knowledge of green tea's health benefits grows, it is also becoming increasingly popular in the West. Green tea is made from the leaves of the tea plant (Camellia sinensis), which grows primarily in Southeast Asia. It is an unfermented type of tea, retaining the highest levels of natural polyphenols. During the fermentation process of tea leaves (the way black tea is made), these polyphenols, the most important of which in tea are catechins, are largely lost through oxidation. Research has shown that these catechins are precisely responsible for tea's beneficial effects on health. The most powerful catechin in green tea is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is a very powerful antioxidant, even more powerful than vitamin C and vitamin E.Catechins (particularly EGCG) in green tea are powerful antioxidants, protecting cells and tissues against free radicals, oxidative damage, and general signs of aging. They support the health of blood vessels, and the heart in particular, by protecting blood lipids from oxidation. Green tea is also known to contribute to weight management. Research shows that catechins support lipid metabolism and reduce intestinal fat absorption by inhibiting pancreatic lipase (an enzyme that helps digest dietary fats). Therefore, using green tea extract can be beneficial in achieving a healthy weight, complementing lifestyle and dietary changes. It also supports the maintenance of normal cholesterol levels.
