Green Tea Extract (50% ECGC)
Polyphenols are potent antioxidants with important roles in regulating vital signaling pathways.
They play important roles in inactivation of several signaling pathways involved in inflammation including: TNF-kB, TNFa, downregulation of COX-2 & BCL-2 activities.
They also help with the upregulation of protective programmed cell death pathways.
Protective against chronic inflammatory diseases like cardiovascular and neurodegenerative diseases.
Protect against oxidative damage by inhibiting the formation of free radicals and ROS.
15-20 times more powerful as an anti-oxidant than both vitamin C and vitamin E.
Helps to reduce inflammatory factors associated with chronic inflammatory disorders like RA & IBD.
Decreases hs-CRP and increases adiponectin.
Can improve gut barrier function and reduce intestinal inflammation. Helps against IBD.
Can decrease hepatic enzymes in patients with NASH.
Can improve urinary albumin-creatinine ratio in diabetic patients with albuminuria.
Improves exercise-induced body composition by further decreasing exercise-induced changes in weight, BMI, waist-to-hip ratio & BF%.
Combo of GTE + exercise produces greater changes in anti-inflammation (increase in adiponectin) & metabolic (decreases hs-CRP) then exercise alone
