The term "green elixir of life" refers to none other than Camellia sinensis. This plant was cultivated in China around 5,000 years ago as a tasty beverage and medicinal plant. Then as now, Camellia sinensis enjoys a high reputation, particularly in the medical field. From a scientific perspective, its abundant polyphenols, or secondary plant substances, have attracted the interest of all research groups. Catechins, a subgroup of plant substances, have proven particularly valuable. A specific catechin, abbreviated to EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), plays a key role here. This active ingredient can provide enormous health benefits for the human organism.

Its antioxidant effect is clearly at the forefront of the ranking of health benefits.

EGCG is THE enemy of free radicals, those unstable oxygen-containing molecules that can aggressively attack and damage our healthy cells. It can also significantly benefit the cardiovascular system. EGCG can help lower bad LDL cholesterol and raise good HDL cholesterol. Its antiviral and antibacterial effects can also benefit your immune system.

More power, less body fat..

The high catechin content of sencha and matcha teas can inhibit insulin production and thus prevent the buildup of new body fat. These metabolism-stimulating ingredients have been further enhanced with ginger, mate, and oolong teas. A lower insulin level combined with a stimulated metabolism is our declaration of war on unwanted body fat!

Furthermore, typical side effects of caffeine, such as nervousness, high blood pressure, and a sudden drop in performance, are eliminated by the naturally occurring amino acid L-theanine. You can thus benefit from alertness, attention, and long-lasting focus.
