Tegreen® 97

The natural way to protect your health.

Tegreen® 97

Tea is HOT!

• Tremendous positive press

• Top 20 in health food sales

• Thousands of studies worldwide

• Including National Cancer Institute

Second most popular beverage

Green tea vs. Black tea

• Green tea– Camellia sinensis– lightly steamed and dried

• Benefit of process– inactivates enzymes to preserve polyphenol content

(chemistry similar to fresh leaves)

• Black tea– Camellia sinensis– withered, rolled, fermented and dried.

• Benefit of process– flavor enhancing

• Disadvantage– Alters the spectrum of the polyphenols

Proprietary processing

• Only finest leaf buds and young leaves used• Cultivated in Zhejiang province (number one tea-

producing region in China)• Proprietary extraction process

– Achieves 97% polyphenols• 65% Catechins

– 38% EGCg

• Eliminates virtually all the caffeine

Tegreen® 97 Attributes

• Highest levels of polyphenols in industry– 97% polyphenols– Most competitors: 50-65% polyphenols

• Once per day dose– Equivalent to 7 cups of green tea beverage

• Caffeine free• Clinically and scientifically proven• Proprietary processing

Polyphenols

• Broad class of compounds including– proanthocyanidins – flavonoids

• anthocyanidins• catechins

– Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)– others

Green tea research

• Epidemiological studies– Asian populations showed significant overall health

maintenance even with “bad lifestyle habits”• Polyphenolic compounds

– significant research on the antioxidant benefits – protection of cellular components– deactivation of abnormal cell specific enzymes

In vitro DNA protection study(Kansas University)

Based on EGCg levels

Catechins Protect Red Blood Cells

• Research shows that the catechins “spare” beta carotene and vitamin C.– Overall protection the red blood cell against

oxidative damage

Additional polyphenol research

• block the formation of some potentially toxic compounds, such as nitrosamines, which are formed from the ingestion of some cured meats

• prevent and protect against destructive free radicals• inhibit spontaneous and photo-enhanced lipid peroxidation

• increase the activity of naturally occurring antioxidants and

detoxifying enzymes

Non-antioxidant Related Research

• Trigger programmed cell death– EGCg blocks the enzyme responsible for

preventing normal cell death• tumor-specific NADH oxidase (tNOX) not active in

normal cells
