Increasing evidence suggests that the therapeutic effects of green tea are mediated by tea polyphenols. Tēgreen 97 provides triple-action cell protection by supporting the body in neutralizing three cell-jeopardizing substances: free radicals, nitrosamines, and potentially harmful toxins.
Tēgreen 97 provides more concentrated levels of green tea polyphenols than those available in most food supplements. Green tea characteristics vary widely according to growing region, altitude, climate, and processing techniques. Pharmanex® adheres to the time-honored tradition of using only the finest leaf buds and young leaves of tea plants cultivated in Zhejiang Province. This province is the number one tea-producing region in China, producing some of the highest quality tea in the world. Our proprietary process maximizes the concentration of the naturally occurring polyphenols, while virtually eliminating caffeine.
Several studies indicate that the thermogenic effects of green tea are due to properties beyond caffeine content. One clinical study showed that green tea extract increased 24-hour energy expenditure (which relates to thermogenesis and metabolic rate) and fat oxidation in humans more than caffeine alone or placebo. In addition, the results of a study on Tēgreen 97 were highlighted at the April 2003 FASEB meeting where the benefits of Tēgreen 97 in improving lipid and glucose metabolism, maintaining normal insulin sensitivity, and balancing the metabolic rate of fat deposit and fat burning were discussed.*
Epidemiological, animal, and in vitro studies document the health maintenance and antioxidant benefits of green tea. Numerous studies using the proprietary extract found in Tēgreen 97 (known as Xin Nao Jian in Asia), suggest that the polyphenols in Tēgreen 97 provide a broad spectrum of antioxidant benefits.
Tēgreen 97 is an extract of green tea leaves, standardized to contain a minimum of 97% pure polyphenols, 65% of which are the catechins (> 95 mg EGCg per capsule).
Tēgreen 97 is considered decaffeinated for labeling purposes. Tēgreen 97 contains approximately 1.5 to 2 mg of caffeine per capsule, which is well below the stimulatory level. For comparison, a cup of coffee contains 100 to 150 mg of caffeine.
Tēgreen 97 is safe at recommended dosages as a green tea supplement. Do not exceed 1,200 mg of green tea in combination with other supplements that contain green tea.
