A cup of green tea contains 20-35 mg of EGCG, which is the highest antioxidant activity of all the green tea catechins. Aloe Vera Aloe Vera leaves produces a gel-like substance that contains sterols, which has an anti inflammatory effect on the body.

Inhibiting Pathogenic Infections: A Polyphenol and Carotenoid Based Approach Background Research This research focuses on the effects of polyphenols and carotenoids found in Green tea and Cloves on inhibiting and treating pathogenic infections. The number of people who are infected with pathogenic infections is on the rise and cases are being reported from around the world with a mortality rate of 60%-65% [1,2]. It is suspected that the number of people infected with pathogenic infections will

Spermacoce hispida L. is one of the important medicinal plants used in traditional systems of medicine. It is observed that, several times it is difficult to differentiate the plant from the other allied species from the same genus, Spermacoce, especially, when they are in drug form. Therefore, the present study aims to document the differences in the pharmacognostic characters, preliminary phytochemical analysis and polyphenolic contents from the leaves of four species belonging to the genus Spermacoce

Arabia Email – perwez_khanam2003@yahoo.com Abstract: Green tea, an unfermented leaves is rich in catechins. Catechins are known to lower the lipid by un-regulating lipid-metabolizing enzyme via NF-KB and thereby stimulating fat oxidation. Black tea results from the fermentation of green tea in which catechins of green tea is converted to theaflavin and thearubigin, which have some significant health benefits of their own. Theaflavin is responsible for

On average 158 million Americans drink tea a day. Within that population 85 percent drink black tea, 14 percent drink green tea, and the remaining amount drink oolong tea.

Catechins Fresh tealeaves overall are rich sources of flavonoids known as catechins effective for protecting the body against, eliminating free radicals, muscle fatigue, pain caused by burns and preventing brain related problems such as stroke, Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s disease. However, the levels of this substance depend on the amount of processing which undergoes a change during oxidation. With higher oxidation, there is a decrease in the catechins. Hence, Green Tea consisting

Catechins are a type of disease-fighting flavonoid and antioxidant that help to fight off cellular damage in the body. The “magic health ingredient” in teas is polyphenols and how much you ingest is relative to the fermentation level used in their
