Description Natures Aid Green Tea is one of the highest strength products on the market. It uses a concentrated extract which is equivalent to 10,000mg of green tea leaves. Green, black and oolong teas all originate from Camellia sinensis, the tea plant. The method of preparation determines which whether the resulting leaves produce green, black or oolong tea. The harvested leaves are left to oxidise when producing black tea, and partially oxidise to produce oolong tea. Green tea is not left to oxidise and this helps to protect the key components of the tea plant. Traditional Chinese medical uses for Green Tea include headaches, digestion, low mood, immune function, detoxification and an energy booster. The Benefits of Natures Aid Green Tea Tablets: Atherosclerosis (hardened arteries) – Green Tea increases antioxidant activity in the blood, protecting against damage to LDL cholesterol. Damage to LDL cholesterol, caused by ‘oxidation’ from fried foods, smoking and stress, causes damage to the artery wall upon which the cholesterol sits. This damage leads to the hardening of the artery wall. Immune booster – the polyphenols in Green Tea stimulate the production of several types of immune cells. Green Tea also has antibacterial and antioxidant properties. Weight loss – Green Tea’s polyphenols may both increase metabolism and decrease the breakdown of fat in the digestive system, so reducing its absorption. Increasing the metabolic rate means the cells generate more energy and the person feels more active.
