Jarrow Formulas Tea Complete provides a wide spectrum of powerful phytonutrients, by combining five tea preparations with unique polyphenol profiles. The young leaves of White tea are highest in antioxidant flavonoids, and excel at maintaining healthy DNA. Green tea is a rich source of EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), responsible for several of tea’s classic health-promoting effects. The partial fermentation of Oolong and Pu-Erh tea leaves produces a unique blend of polyphenol derivatives with diverse activities ranging from increasing HDL (“good”) cholesterol to colon detoxification. Fully fermented Black tea contains the highest level of theaflavins, which have been shown to maintain healthy cholesterol levels. The combination of tea extracts provides superior support for cardiovascular function, cell protection, blood sugar balance and antioxidation.

Jarrow Formulas Green Tea 500 is water extracted and consists of 40% polyphenols, including 30% catechins. Catechins are flavan monomers, the building blocks of OPCs. OPCs, OligoProanthoCyanidins, are polymers (or chains) of flavans. Catechins are generally more bioavailable and more potent antioxidants than proanthocyanidins.
