Green tea offers health benefits for just about every system of the body. But did you know that green tea may also absorb impurities from its environment? If you take a green tea supplement to support your health, you don’t want it to also introduce toxins into your body. It’s super important to choose your brands wisely because purity and a dedication to safety and regulatory compliance on the part of the growers, processors and manufacturers matters.
Green tea is a good foundation supplement for overall health. In those areas of the world where they drink a lot of green tea – such as China and Japan – there are lower incidences of the chronic diseases that plague our society. Green tea is a potent antioxidant that can help fight free radical damage; it helps protect against cellular damage, there’s evidence that it helps manage healthy blood pressure and cholesterol levels, it’s been associated with better glucose control, and it plays a role in increasing thermogenesis (calorie burning).
But we’re getting better at testing for purity all the time. And some green tea products have been found to be contaminated with such things as pesticides and chemical extraction residues. That’s why it’s smart to look for brands, such as Sunphenon green tea extract, that are closely managed from the ground up. What’s impressive about Sunphenon is that every aspect of its preparation, starting with the soil, water and air that goes into this green tea extract, is closely managed for purity.
Brands containing Sunphenon may cost a little more because controlling the raw material and achieving this level of scrutiny is expensive and labor-intensive, but it’s worth it to know that you’re getting just the healthful green tea extract and none of the questionable residues and pollutants that you’d rather not be putting into your body.
