ABOUT GREEN TEA EXTRACT
Polyphenols in green tea extract contribute to the nootropic and neuroprotective properties of this extract. In addition to enhancing memory and learning, green tea extract can delay aging.
GREEN TEA EXTRACT FULL BENEFITS
- Polyphenols in green tea include catechins, theaflavins, tannins, and flavonoids, all with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties – anti-aging effect[1]
- Synergistic with quercetin – increased bioavailability of catechins[2]
- Synergistic with L-Theanine in inhibiting acetylcholinesterase and enhancing cognitive effects[3]
- The catechin EGCG is the most abundant and potent polyphenol in green tea[4]
- EGCG can improve cognitive function by increasing the production of neural progenitor cells[5]
- Increases blood flow[6]
- May reduce anxiety and fatigue[7,8]
