Tegreen® 97 Product Training

Tea is HOT! Tremendous positive press Top 20 in health food sales Thousands of studies worldwide -Including National Cancer Institute Green Tea has received a lot of positive press regarding its many health benefits. There have been thousands of studies performed world wide and it has become a very popular dietary supplement in health food stores.

Green tea Second most popular beverage Green tea is the second most popular beverage next to water.

Green tea vs. Black tea Green Tea Black Tea Benefit of process Camellia sinensis lightly steamed and dried Benefit of process inactivates enzymes to preserve polyphenol content (chemistry similar to fresh leaves) Black Tea Camellia sinensis withered, rolled, fermented and dried. Benefit of process flavor enhancing Disadvantage Alters the spectrum of the polyphenols Although green and black tea are derived from the same plant (Camellia sinensis) there are significant differences in their preparation. Black tea which is more common in the Western world is withered, rolled, fermented and dried for curing. Through this flavor enhancing fermentation process, the bioactive polyphenols of the fresh leaf are oxidized, and black tea loses its full complement of beneficial polyphenols. Green tea on the other hand, is prepared from lightly steamed and dried leaves of the tea plant. The steaming process inactivates the enzymes responsible for oxidation, leaving the polyphenol content intact and resulting in a product with a chemical composition very similar to that of the fresh leaf.

Tegreen® 97 Standardized green tea extract Provides a 97% concentration of pure polyphenols per capsule, 65% of which are catechins—the most important active compounds in green tea.

Tegreen® 97 Attributes Highest levels of polyphenols in industry Most competitors: 50-65% polyphenols Each capsule of Tegreen Equivalent to 7 cups of green tea beverage Caffeine free Clinically and scientifically proven Proprietary processing Our proprietary process yields 97% polyphenols, where most competitors products yield only 65-70% polyphenols. Tegreen 97 provides all the health benefits of green tea without the caffeine. One capsule of Tegreen conveniently provides the equivalent polyphenol content of 7 cups of green tea. Tegreen 97 has been clinically proven with extensive research in China and studies at Purdue. It is a patent pending process exclusive to Pharmanex. Through our strict quality control measures at Pharmanex, we ensure that each capsule contains a high concentration of active polyphenols.

Proprietary processing Only finest leaf buds and young leaves used Cultivated in Zhejiang province (number one tea-producing region in China) Proprietary extraction process Achieves 97% polyphenols 65% Catechins 38% EGCg Eliminates virtually all the caffeine As previously mentioned,the method of preparation and cultivation affects the polyphenol content so only the finest leaf buds and young leaves are used. Pharmanex owns the fields in the Zhejiang province in China, which is the #1 tea producing region. Onsite harvest management allows Pharmanex to implement the 6 S process and ensure that the highest quality product is produced. After the harvest the product is extracted at a Pharmanex owned facility in china. High quality products come from high quality ingredients. Poor quality in the beginning cannot be made up for in the end.

Polyphenols Broad class of compounds including proanthocyanidins flavonoids anthocyanidins catechins Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg) others Polyphenols are a broad class of compounds. Polyphenols include proanthocyanidins and flavonoids. These polyphenols can be found in a variety of foods and beverages such as grapes and red wine. Catechins are classified as flavanoids. The powerful antioxidant, catechin can be broken down into several different structures. EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), ECG (Epicatechin gallage), and EGC (Epigallocatechin).EGCg’s have been studied to provide the most benefits.

Tegreen 97 research Epidemiological studies Asian populations showed significant overall health maintenance even with “bad lifestyle habits” More than 45 studies using Tegreen 97 Significant research on the antioxidant benefits Protection of cellular components Green tea polyphenols provide a broad spectrum of beneficial physiological functions related to general well-being. Green tea consumption is the highest in Asia. Epidemiological studies show that the consumption of at least 4 cups daily has shown significantly better overall health maintenance. Recent research have demonstrated that the polyphenols in green tea offer protection from free radical damage, in particular to the cells, DNA. Research at Purdue University show s that EGCg’s (epigallocatechin gallate- the potent antioxidant found in green tea offers the most protection to DNA) inhibits cell specific enzymes associated with certain types of cancers.
