GreenFood Nutrition Green Tea Extract 90 capsules

Green tea has its roots in China, where its use dates back more than 4,000 years. Legend has it that green tea was discovered by Emperor Shennong around 2737 BC. n. l., when a few tea leaves fell into the boiling water he was drinking. In the 8th century, Buddhist monks brought tea seeds and tea culture to Japan. Here, tea became an integral part of Zen Buddhist monasteries where it was used during meditation. The caffeine in green tea contributes to its effects. The caffeine content of green tea is lower than that of coffee, which may be an advantage for those seeking a milder stimulation. The combination of caffeine with L-theanine in green tea provides a balanced effect that is appreciated by many consumers around the world. A standardized green tea extract containing 50% polyphenols is obtained through a specific process that involves several steps. This process ensures that the final product contains the exact amount of bioactive ingredients, especially polyphenols, which are responsible for the high popularity of green tea. Standardisation also means that the product undergoes rigorous testing and controls to ensure that the polysaccharide content is as declared.

Polyphenols

Polyphenols are a group of natural compounds found in plants that have significant effects. Green tea is a rich source of these substances. The main polyphenols contained in green tea include catechins (Epigallocatechin gallate, Epicatechin, Epicatechin gallate and Epigallocatechin). Catechins are a group of flavonoids and are the main components that contribute to the overall quality and effects of green tea. Other important components in green tea are also flavonoids, the amino acid L-theanine and phenolic acids, where each of these components contribute to the overall properties of the tea.
