SUPPORTS CELL PROTECTION AND ANTIOXIDANT DEFENCE
Green tea has been used in China for thousands of years for its health-preserving and revitalizing power. Modern science has identified powerful antioxidants in green tea called polyphenols (多酚）. One group of polyphenols called catechins（儿茶素） is particularly potent and is highly effective at neutralizing free radicals at the cellular level. Catechins support healthy cell function while providing antioxidant protection to critical cell structures such as DNA. Clinical studies show catechins interfere with the production of certain enzymes involved in cell damage. Additionally, catechins have been demonstrated to cause a thermogenic effect that enhances the body’s metabolic rate. Tegreen 97 ® from Pharmanex is a proprietary, highly concentrated extract of the catechins found in green tea. Tegreen 97 ® is one of the most potent antioxidant supplements on the market with a 97 percent polyphenol content, 65% catechins. Each Tegreen 97 ® capsule contains the catechin equivalent of approximately seven cups of green tea and is 99.5 percent caffeine free.
Supports the Antioxidant Defence System
Tea is one of the world’s most popular beverages, second only to water. The health-promoting benefits of green tea have been recognized in China for thousands of years. Green Tea was also recommended by the TIME magazine as the Top 10 health foods in 2002.
Although green tea and black tea are derived from the same plant Camellia sinensis, there are significant differences in the preparation of the two. Black tea (more common in the western world) is withered, rolled, fermented and dried for curing. Through this flavor enhancing fermentation process, the bioactive polyphenols of the fresh leaf are oxidized, and black tea loses most of the beneficial polyphenols.
Green tea, on the other hand, is prepared from lightly steamed and dried leaves of the tea plant. The steaming process inactivates the enzymes which are responsible for oxidation, leaving the polyphenol content intact and resulting in a product with a chemical composition very similar to that of the fresh leaf.
Tegreen 97® from Pharmanex® is a proprietary, highly concentrated extract of the catechins found in green tea. As one of the most potent antioxidant supplements on the market, Tegreen 97® has a 97% polyphenol content, 65% of which are catechin. Each Tegreen 97 ® capsule contains the catechin equivalent of approximately seven cups of green tea and is 99.5% cafeine free. Recent clinical studies show consuming 400 to 600 mg of catechins at one time will more effectlively increase the level of catechins in the blood and increase the amount of time they stay in the body.

WHAT MAKES THIS PRODUCT UNIQUE?
A proprietary green tea extract containing 97% polyphenols of which 65% are catechins
Has the antioxidant power of seven cups of tea per capsule and is 99.5% caffeine free
The 6S Quality Process ensures the quality and potency of each Tēgreen 97 capsule
Standardised for consistent and powerful benefits
In a comparative study, Tēgreen 97 was shown to have better bioavailability and antioxidant capacity than drinking green or black tea.
Tegreen97® uses the finest leaf buds and young leaves of tea plants cultivated in Zhejiang Province (the No.1 tea-producing region in China) and produces by advanced technologies and proprietary methods. Each capsule of Tegreen97® contains a 20:1 green tea leaf extract from Camellia sinensis standardized to provide a minimum of 97% polyphenols including 65% catechins such as EGCg and EGC which are among the most potent natural antioxidants. Therefore, Tegreen97® is the dietary supplement with the most concentrated levels of green tea polyphenols available in the market.
Recommended Adult Use
As a dietary supplement, take one (1) to four (4) capsules daily; preferably one (1) to two (2) each morning and evening with food. Store in a cool, dry place.
PHARMANEX “6S Quality Process”
PHARMANEX devotes to provide scientifically standardized nutritional products of proven e cacy and unsurpassed quality by applying the 6S Quality Process. It is the basis of the company’s pharmaceutical approach to product development in order to maintain tight quality controls through all stages of product development.
SCIENTIFIC SUPPORT
Capsule is an Ideal Delivery Form of Green Tea Supplements
A research uses PHARMANEX® Tegreen97® shows that tea polyphenols are more bioavailable in capsule form than taken as a traditional beverage, black tea and green tea. The capsule form can also increase the flavonoid absorption and increase the plasma antioxidant activity. The research also indicates that the supplement delivery can retain the beneficial effects of green tea without providing the side effects of caffeine that are associated with beverages.
Green Tea Has a Potent Antioxidation Activity
Free radicals, which are involved in damaging cellular constituents, are often the result of exposure to dietary, occupational and environmental toxins. Numerous researches have demonstrated that the polyphenols in greens tea, particularly the catechins component, offer potent antioxidant activity to fight free radicals. It even has been shown to be far superior and faster acting than vitamins C, E and beta carotene. Green tea polyphenols, especially EGCg, may help to:
Inhibit the formation of some potentially toxic compounds, such as nitrosamines which are formed from the ingestion of some cured meats
Provide antioxidants to protect against free radicals
Inhibit spontaneous and photo-enhances lipid peroxidation
Stimulate the activity of natural antioxidant and detoxifying enzymes, e.g. glutathione peroxidase and catalase
Thermogenic Effect to Increase Body's Metabolic Rate
A recent study found that consumption of Tegreen97®, a tea polyphenols product containing in excess of 65% tea catechins, derived from the green tea leaf, is capable of improving lipid metabolism and balancing the metabolic rate of fat deposit and fat burning. Therefore, it helps to reduce the pathological root causes of Metabolic Syndrome X. The study also found that Tegreen97® may assist in stabilizing blood sugar.
Metabolic Syndrome X, a term used to describe a group of heart disease risk factors, including high levels of abdominal fat low density lipoprotein (LDL), high blood pressure, and abnormal glucose metabolism, can kill.

Study was conducted by PHARMANEX Beijing Pharmacology Center and was honored to be presented at the annual conference of The American Physiological Society (APS), one of the world's most prestigious organizations for physiological scientists in April 2003. It was also the best studies (less than 5% out of he thousands submitted studies) selected for the o cial press release.
Reduce Abdominal Fat Accumulation
A study found that PHARMANEX® Tegreen97® can promote thermogenesis in order to reduce abdominal fat accumulation. It also reiterated the cell protection benefits of green tea catechins in promoting cardiovascular and brain health. The findings were presented at the American Heart Association's Sixth Annual Conference in Washington D.C.
Increase Skin Elastic Tissue Content
A clinical study showed that subject who used 10% green tea extract cream and took 300mg PHARMANEX® Tegreen97® daily for 8 weeks, their elastic tissue content grading increased 0.2. Conversely, the grading of the placebo group decreased 0.55. This study proved that PHARMANEX® Tegreen97® can increase the elastic tissue content and prevent elastin degradation in order to help fighting the aging process from inside out.
TeGreen 97 Is listed In The PDR
The Physicians’ Desk Reference, or PDR, is where your doctors go to learn all about the medications they prescribe. This source is necessary as there are thousands of prescription drugs and there are side effects and interactions to consider. It is a big deal for any company to have their products listed in the PDR. To do so, you have to have high quality standards and be able to validate claims about your products. You do have to pay to be listed, but if your company has 6S standards that meet/exceed pharmaceutical grade requirements, it is worth it to let the world know you stand apart. Pharmanex is one of the only supplement companies to have products listed in the PDR. This demonstrates the company’s commitment to research & development and its ability to conduct studies on their products to validate their absorption/effect.
