Why Tea? Why Theaflavins? Why TeaFlavin®?
Why Tea?
For the past 5,000 years, people have been harvesting and
drinking tea to good health. Today, tea is the second most widely consumed
beverage in the world, after water. Tea is a very rich source of flavonoids and
antioxidants (chemical substances that protect the body from the adverse
effects of oxygen and cell damaging "free radicals"). While the scientific
community has come to a broad consensus that green tea, along with its cousins
black and oolong, are beneficial to healthy living, only recently has attention
turned to the possible cholesterol managing effects of tea.
Why Theaflavins?
Scientists have suspected that a particular flavonoid in tea,
theaflavins, could be an active ingredient in the fight against high
cholesterol. In fact, a recent clinical study showed that when adults with
abnormal cholesterol were given a super concentrated extract of theaflavins,
they were able to reduce their LDL (bad) cholesterol, by an average of 16.4% in
just 90 days. Unfortunately, theaflavins are produced as green tea ferments
into black or oolong tea, but then quickly degrade as the finished tea is
packaged, exposed to environmental conditions, and shipped. As a result, a cup
of brewed tea will have less than 1% beneficial theaflavins.
Why TeaFlavin®?
To get the level of theaflavins shown to reduce cholesterol, a
person would need to drink 35 cups of tea, everyday! Not likely. TeaFlavin®
is the patent-pending process that captures, preserves and protects the same
concentration of theaflavins as was given to the people in the clinical study.
So now, you can get the theaflavins found in 35 cups of tea, within a single
daily softgel. All natural, caffeine free, tested safe. That's why TeaFlavin®
is...
