Green tea is a powerful source of antioxidants and other important substances that have a beneficial effect on the body.
Due to its rich composition, including catechins (including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which is considered a key component with powerful antioxidant properties), polyphenols, vitamins, and minerals, green tea has a positive impact on various aspects of health, including improving metabolism and maintaining optimal weight.
Green tea contains B vitamins, vitamins C and E, minerals such as magnesium, manganese, and potassium, as well as fluoride, which is beneficial for teeth.
The presence of the amino acid L-theanine contributes to improving cognitive function and reducing stress levels.
