Green Tea Extract -
Pure Prescriptions represents one of the premier vitamin brands available today. The Pure brand stands apart by using 500 mg of Decaffeinated Green Tea Extract, standardized to contain a minimum of 98% total tea polyphenols (50% EGCG) in a healthy Vegetarian capsule. Research has shown that Green Tea contains a powerful class of protective antioxidant flavonoids called polyphenol catechins that have been extensively studied and shown to offer superb protection against damaging free radicals*.
Pure Prescriptions Green Tea Extract - Powerful, Affordable Antioxidant Protection
Modern science and traditional herbal wisdom finally agree on something: Green tea (camellia sinensis) is much more than simply an exotic beverage. Research has shown that green tea contains an extremely powerful class of protective antioxidants - compounds that protect the cells of our bodies from certain harmful chemical reactions.
Why We Need Antioxidants
Within our bodies, there are thousands of types of potentially damaging oxidation events occurring every moment you're alive. The causes include natural (i.e., inflammation) and non-natural (i.e., smoking) factors. Whatever the cause, oxidation events all have the potential to damage cells, accelerate aging and create life-threatening disease.
While there are many kinds of antioxidants, offering different levels of protection, the antioxidants in green tea are especially potent; up to 100 times more powerful than more familiar types like vitamins C and E.
Fortunately, even top-of-the-line green tea extracts like Pure Prescriptions are safe, easy-to take and very affordable.
That's why so many people include our Green Tea Extract as an important part of their daily supplement regimen.
Q: Can't I just drink green tea?
Sure you could. But since each capsule of Pure Prescriptions' Green Tea Extract provides the antioxidant protection of four cups of green tea, most people prefer the convenience of extracts for day-to-day support. Furthermore, brewed green tea contains caffeine making it undesirable for many people or in certain situations.
Q: I see a lot of Green Tea Extracts on the shelves - what should I look for?
You don't want one of the many cheap green tea products consisting simply of freeze-dried green tea. Rather, you'll want a standardized extract to provide consistently high-levels of green tea's antioxidant polyphenols. Pure Prescriptions is standardized to 98%, ranking it among the most potent available.
Since green tea contains caffeine, most people prefer, and most doctors recommend, a decaffeinated green tea extract. Pure Prescriptions' is decaffeinated.
Most people prefer vegetarian capsules as opposed to gelatin, which is made from meat byproducts. Pure Prescriptions' Green Tea Extract uses only premium Vegi-Caps™.
We've formulated our Green Tea Extract this way because, after all, we use it too!
Bottom line: Pure Prescriptions Green Tea Extract is an excellent choice and you don't spend more than you have to because you're buying directly from us.
Q: What else has research shown about green tea compounds besides providing antioxidant benefits?
Green tea has been extensively studied and many other beneficial effects have been noted.One green tea compound in particular, EGCG has been the subject of intensive study because it may interfere with abnormal cell growth . Abnormal cell growth is a factor in the development of many serious diseases. The EGCG content of Pure Prescriptions Green Tea Extract is among the highest in the industry (50% minimum).
Other research suggests green tea compounds may also have positive effects on:
Blood pressure
LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol levels
Arthritic inflammation
Obesity and weight control
Q: Can I take Green Tea Extract with other supplements and medications?
Adverse reactions to green tea are extraordinarily rare, as are adverse interactions with other supplements and medications. After all, green tea is second only to water as the world's most widely consumed beverage.
Use Pure Prescriptions' Green Tea Extract with confidence!
If you happen to be under a doctor's care, are pregnant or breastfeeding we recommend checking with your doctor first before using any new supplement.
