The polyphenols present are anti-radical, more powerful even than vitamin C and E.
As for Green Tea, the antioxidant action is mainly given by flavonoids and in particular by catechins that contribute to supporting cardiac functions and contribute to the maintenance of a good state of health. These substances also reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels, exerting, for this reason, a protective action against cardiovascular diseases, atherosclerosis and coronary heart disease. It is very useful to counteract the negative effects of smoking.
