Green tea has been used traditionally in China for thousands of years for its health-preserving and revitalizing power. Modern science has identified powerful antioxidants in green tea called polyphenols. One group of polyphenols called catechins is particularly potent and highly effective at neutralizing free radicals at the cellular level.
Catechins support healthy cell function while providing antioxidant protection to critical cell structures such as DNA. Demonstrated to cause a thermogenic effect, catechins also enhance the body’s metabolic rate.
We are advised to drink at least 4 cups of green tea a day to get the minimal antioxidant protection against inflammatory diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease. For most of us this is difficult to achieve.
Tegreen 97® from Pharmanex® is a proprietary, highly concentrated extract of the catechins found in green tea. As one of the most potent antioxidant supplements on the market, Tegreen has a 97% polyphenol content, 65% of which are catechins.
Each Tegreen capsule contains the catechin equivalent of approximately seven cups of green tea and is 99.5% caffeine free. Recent clinical studies show consuming 400 to 600 mg of catechins at one time will more effectively increase the level of catechins in the blood and increase the amount of time they stay in the body.
