Green Tea Extract By Ningbo Tianhong Biotech Co., Ltd.

Green tea extracts are herbal derivatives from green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). Containing antioxidant ingredients a mainly green tea catechins (GTC) .

The biochemical properties of green tea extracts can be generally divided into four aspects a antioxidant, anticarcinogen, anti-inflammatory, and anti-radiation .

Green tea extracts exhibit stronger antioxidant protection for human body than vitamin C and vitamin E. Scavenging effect of lipid free-radicals (one antioxidant property) of polyphenols in green tea extracts can be clearly observed in experiments. The ability of GTP in green tea extracts to eliminate lipid-derived free radicals is noticeably stronger (almost 50 times) than that of ginkgo biloba extracts. Further investigations indicate that the boosting level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione dismutase (GSHPx) may account for the inhibitory effect of GTC against lipid oxidation (rancidification). It should be mentioned that from the antioxidant perspective, green tea extracts are, generally speaking, more effective than black tea extracts due to the better preservation of catechins.
