The Science Behind Green Tea
Green tea has been brewed and consumed for thousands of years as a professed “aid to many health ailments.” Even though the health benefits of green tea have become more commonly known throughout the world, the consumption of green tea has not caught on due to a variety of reasons – taste, lack of supply, access, differing cultural norms, other options, etc.. However, GreenTeaHP is quickly overcoming those barriers. It tastes great, is convenient, and very accessible. More importantly, its healthy ingredients are supported by verifiable science and research.
GreenTeaHP contains the right amount of EGCG, the antioxidant that is specific to green tea. It has been researched in thousands of clinical trials and studies throughout the last fifty years. This powerful antioxidant assists in neutralizing free radicals that produce harmful effects in your body. Free radicals are associated with aging, cancer, Parkinson’s disease; alcohol induced liver damage, smoking related illnesses, etc. Studies show that EGCG can play a key role in defending the health risks associated with free radicals, and in repairing damage that creates the most common illnesses that plague the general population.
Here are just a few examples of recent green tea/EGCG studies and ongoing clinical trials.
