Tannins, large polyphenol molecules, form the bulk of the active compounds in green tea, with catechins comprising nearly 90%. Several catechins are present in significant quantities; epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content and appears to be the most powerful of the catechins – with antioxidant activity about 25-100 times more potent than vitamins C and E. A cup of green tea may provide 10-40mg of polyphenols and has antioxidant activity greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries. Applications are nutritional ingredients and functional food ingredients. view less | |

It is crystalline lutein suspended in sunflower oil. Lutein is a carotenoid which is present in our daily diet since it is found in dark green leafy vegetables such as spinach. However, the intake needed to notice its health benefits is very high (6-10 mg per day), according to research. As other carotenoids, lutein is an effective antioxidant that protects from blue light absorption and it is also, selectively, accumulated in the macula of human retina, and filters potentially phototoxic blue light and near-ultraviolet radiation. Lutein not only supports eye health, but also reduces the skin´s sensibility against UV light damages. This product is an orange thick liquid with a slightly floral odor. view less |
