Green tea leaves – a familiar ingredient with surprising benefits

Simple and familiar, green tea has long been widely used in many places as a refreshing drink that meets all three criteria: “delicious, nutritious and affordable”.

But that is not all: green tea leaves also provide remarkable benefits for human health:

The EGCG component in green tea leaves disrupts metabolism and inhibits the growth of cancer cells.

Green tea also helps significantly reduce the risk of stroke and myocardial infarction.

Green tea products are widely used in beauty care and oral care.

In particular, the amino acid L-theanine promotes relaxation and reduces tension during nerve transmission. It is extracted and used as an ingredient in products intended to support restful sleep and a refreshed state of mind upon waking.
