GREEN TEA EXTRACT - For Antioxidant Support - Green Tea Extract
For centuries the art of drinking and serving tea has played a major
cultural role in many Asian countries. Americans are now discovering
this healthful brew. Studies have shown that green tea is a
powerful antioxidant that supports cardiovascular health and promotes
dental health and glucose metabolism. The polyphenols are

especially the catechin EGCG.
Source Naturals offers two convenient ways to
get the benefits of green tea: a highly concentrated,
100 mg GREEN TEA EXTRACT or the

catechins are the beneficial, health-promoting
components of green tea, especially

Health Benefits
Catechins have significant antioxidant
power and may prove to be heart healthy
agents in combating lipid peroxidation
within the cell membranes that line arterial
walls. Antioxidants neutralize destructive
free radicals and support cardiovascular
