Deep down, green tea is pretty complex. Its leaves contain antioxidants which contribute to the protection of your cells from oxidative stress.
Biologically relevant molecules of the human body can be exposed to reactive free radicals, generated in our biochemical processes and as a consequence of exposure to environmental factors like pollution. Left to their own devices, these reactive free radicals can cause oxidative stress to cells and tissue. Free radical scavengers, components like antioxidant nutrients, give a little help in protecting our cells from the effects of oxidative stress.

Who doesn’t love a good cup of tea? No one, that’s who. It’s been adored and consumed around the world since the dawn of time, bringing people together, or tearing friendships apart, separating those who put the milk in first from those who make tea properly – that’s right, we said it. What you might not know, however, is that whether you drink it black, like it green, or go a little more exotic and pick up a pack of Oolong, your tea all comes from the same plant; Camellia sinensis. The people of China and India have made use of these leaves for centuries, taking advantage of the benefits they bring. We figured they must be on to something; our Pharmanex® Tēgreen food supplement contains a green tea extract taken from these leaves, bringing all the goodness of green tea antioxidants directly to you.

Did You Know
- Tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world – second only to water!
- Green tea, black tea, and even Oolong tea all come from the leaves of the same plant – Camellia sinensis. The key difference lies in the manufacturing process. For green tea, the freshly harvested leaves are steamed to prevent fermentation, allowing the tea to keep its colour. As green tea is fermented to create Oolong, and later black tea, other changes occur.
- Pharmanex® Tēgreen contains a water extract from green tea leaves, bringing with it the antioxidant* activity profile of green tea which closely mimics the preparation of a traditional green tea infusion.
Certain molecules in our bodies, such as DNA, proteins and lipids, can often be exposed to other, more unstable molecules known as reactive free radicals. Originating through both our own biochemical processes and as a result of exposure to environmental factors such as pollution, these reactive free radicals cause oxidative stress. Enter the free radical scavengers; components like antioxidant nutrients that help to protect these cells from oxidative stress.
