Green Tea has been respected for thousands of years for its numerous health benefits. The Chinese have known about these health benefits it since green tea began to be cultivated, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression.
The secret of green tea comes from a type of powerful antioxidant found in its leaves called catechin polyphenols. One antioxidant in particular, called epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is extremely powerful. EGCG has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells, killing cancer cells without harming healthy tissue. It has also been found to be effective in lowering LDL cholesterol levels, and preventing the formation of blood clots, which lead to strokes.
The benefits of green tea are becoming extremely well known, but the amount of tea you would have to consume makes it very difficult to reap the benefits of this outstanding, ancient food. The green tea extract in PomGT has been developed to retain all of the antioxidant strength, with less caffeine than the equivalent cups of green tea.
