HAYWARD, Calif. - June 15, 2013 - PRLog -- Green tea extract is derived from leaves of camellia sinensis, the plant from which green, black and oolong teas are made.  Green tea extract is associated with several health benefits, many supported by preliminary scientific research.  These benefits include potential cancer-fighting properties, and a strong antioxidant effect that protects the body from the damaging affects of free radicals.   The scientific community notes however, that continued research is necessary.

Green tea extract, like many herbs, is standardized in the production phase to guarantee that a certain percentage of the active ingredients remain present in the final capsulated form. The active ingredients in green tea extract are polyphenols, in the form of flavonoids like catchins and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).  Polyphenols, flavonoids, catchins and EGCG are powerful antioxidants that appear to interfere with and reduce the spread of certain types of cancer cells. The antioxidant activity of EGCG in green tea extract is purportedly up to 100 times more powerful than that of vitamin C or E.  Below is a summary of a few of the active compounds found in green tea, along with its average percent composition, and as a preventive for dental caries.  Homeopathic uses for gamellia sinensis include those experiencing cardiac and circulatory conditions, headaches, states of agitation, states of depression, and stomach complaints.

Green tea extract is believed to relieve diarrhea, loss of appetite, hyperdypsia, migraine, cardiac pain, fever, and fatigue in the Indian culture and is often prepared as a tea.  Chinese medicine prescribes green tea to treat migraine, nausea, diarrhea resulting from malaria, and digestion problems.  It has also been seen as a use to prevent cancer.

A daily dose of 300 to 400 mg of plyphenols is typical.  The amount of polyphenols in 3 cups of Green Tea is between 240 to 320 mg.  Homeopathic dosages range from 5 to 10 drops; 1 tablet, or 5 to 10 globules 1 to 3 times daily or 1 ml injection solution twice weekly (HAB1).

Side effects of tea consumption are possible with persons who have sensitive stomachs, chiefly due to the chlorogenic acid and tannin content.  Hyperacidity, gastric irritation, reduction of appetite, as well as obstipation or diarrhea, could be the result of intense tea consumption.  These side effects can be generally avoided by the addition of milk.  Care should be taken with patients that have weakened cardiovascular systems, renal diseases, thyroid hyperfunction, elevated susceptibility to spasm and certain psychic disorders, such as panicky states of anxiety.  With long-term intake of dosages above 1.5 g caffeine per day, nonspecific symptoms may occur, such as restlessness, irritability, sleeplessness, palpitations, vertigo, vomiting, diarrhea, loss of appetite, and headache.
