The active ingredient extracted from green tea leaves – Green tea polyphenols (GTP)

Green tea extract is an active ingredient extracted from green tea leaves, mainly including green tea polyphenols, caffeine, aromatic oils, etc. Green Tea polyphenols have antioxidant and free radical scavenging effects, significantly reducing serum total cholesterol, triglycerides, and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels in hyperlipidemia. At the same time, they have the function of restoring and protecting vascular endothelial function.

The structure of GTP (Green Tea Polyphenols, GTP) is rich in phenolic hydroxyl groups, which can provide active hydrogen to inactivate free radicals. The free radicals formed by oxidation themselves have high stability due to the structure of catechol. Therefore, GTP has the function of clearing free radicals and inhibiting lipid peroxidation.

As a natural antioxidant and preservative, the annual demand for tea polyphenols will gradually transition from 500 tons to 5000 tons, and the annual demand in the future will increase to tens of thousands of tons. It has significant economic benefits.
