Green tea vs. Black tea

• Green tea
• Camellia sinensis
• lightly steamed and dried
• Benefit of process
• inactivates enzymes to preserve polyphenol
  content (chemistry similar to fresh leaves)

• Black tea
• Camellia sinensis
• withered, rolled, fermented and dried.
• Benefit of process
• flavor enhancing
• Disadvantage
• Alters the spectrum of the polyphenols

6
Proprietary processing

• Only finest leaf buds and young leaves used
• Cultivated in Zhejiang province (number one
  tea-producing region in China)
• Proprietary extraction process
• Achieves 97 polyphenols
• 65 Catechins
• 38 EGCg
• Eliminates virtually all the caffeine

Catechins Protect Red Blood Cells

• Research shows that the catechins spare beta
  carotene and vitamin C.
• Overall protection the red blood cell against
  oxidative damage

12
Additional polyphenol research

• block the formation of some potentially toxic
  compounds, such as nitrosamines, which are formed
  from the ingestion of some cured meats
• prevent and protect against destructive free
  radicals
• inhibit spontaneous and photo-enhanced lipid
  peroxidation
• increase the activity of naturally occurring
  antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes

13
Non-antioxidant Related Research

• Trigger programmed cell death
• EGCg blocks the enzyme responsible for preventing
  normal cell death
• tumor-specific NADH oxidase (tNOX) not active in
  normal cells
