Benefits of Caffeine Natural Green Tea 50%

Green tea differs from black tea and oolong tea in that it is not fermented. Even though all three teas are from the same plant, the difference in the way they are prepared has an impact on the way each is used.

Because it is not fermented, green tea still retains its polyphenols, natural antioxidants. Antioxidants protect the body from free-radical compounds that destroy healthy cells.

The lighter processing method employed in producing green tea leaves leaves the polyphenols (including powerful antioxidants proanthocyanidin and catechin) intact.

In clinical studies, it has been demonstrated that polyphenols provide more antioxidant protection than vitamin E or vitamin C. Polyphenols also improve the performance of the body’s own natural antioxidant enzymes, including glutathione, a tripeptide that acts to minimize inflammation and protects cartilage.

Green tea contains gallocatechol or epigallocatechin (EGC), a chemical compound that belongs to a group of compounds known as flavan-3-ol. Catechin is another of the flavon-3-ol group. Gallocatechin is present in bananas, persimmons and pomegranates as well as in green tea. This compound binds to a class of cell membrane receptors that acts in the central nervous system and in the immune system and hematopoietic cells. This action may explain why green tea has become popular as a health aid.

Due to this action on the central nervous system, green tea may enhance mental alertness and thinking.

Similarly, as this compound acts on certain receptors that are expressed on T-cells of the immune system and on macrophages and B cells, green tea may play a role in supporting the body's immune system. Numerous studies have been conducted researching the potential of green tea as an anticarcinogen.

Caffeine is a psychoactive stimulant known chemically as trimethylxanthine. By acting on the central nervous system, caffeine wards off drowsiness and restores mental alertness. Many popular beverages contain caffeine: coffee, tea, chocolate, soft drinks and sports/energy drinks.

Purity and Concentration

Purebulk's caffeine natural green tea 50% is pure green tea extract derived from the leaves of Camellia sinensis L., and is assayed to contain at least 50% caffeine. This fine greenish-yellow powder contains no fillers, additives or anti-caking agents.

Potential Side Effects and Cautions:

WARNING: Caffeine is HIGHLY TOXIC in large quantities. Over consumption may result in death. As many common beverages and some foods contain caffeine, be cautious of the total caffeine you may be consuming. Do not exceed more than 200 milligrams(mg) in a single serving. Do NOT consume more than 600 mg in a day. Do not take caffeine-containing products if you have heart disease, or if you are pregnant or nursing.

Green tea is considered "likely safe" for most adults according to the National Institute of Health.

Stomach upset and constipation may occur, and liver problems have been reported in rare cases.

Who should not take Caffeine Natural Green Tea 50%

If you are pregnant or breast-feeding, consult your physician before using any caffeine products. Persons with anemia, bleeding disorders, heart conditions, glaucoma, high blood pressure, liver disease, or weak bones (osteoporosis) should consult your physician before using any caffeine products. Diabetics should monitor blood sugar carefully if using this product.

Suggested Use: How should I take it?

As a dietary supplement, take 100 to 400 milligrams up to three times daily. DO NOT use more than 400 mg in a single serving, or more than 1200 mg in a day. Individual needs vary, depending on caffeine consumption from other sources.

Using the volumetric chart you will see that 1/32 teaspoon is equal to 79 milligrams (mg), so a rounded 1/32 tsp is about 100 mg. A serving of 1/8 teaspoon equals 314 mg, so a rounded 1/8 tsp is about 400 mg.

Due to the fact that many of our customers have individual needs, we do not include a "scoop" in your package. For your convenience, we offer a selection of durable measuring spoons. To accurately measure this powder, you may also use a digital gram scale. (PureBulk offers several scales of varying measures.)

How should I store it?

You will receive a resealable bag of this powder. Store in a cool, dry area protected from light. Reseal after each use.
