Product Overview

Green tea is produced from the Camellia sinensis plant (the same plant from which black tea is produced). Green tea is harvested when its antioxidant content is at its peak. Unlike black tea, the leaves are then immediate steamed before oxidation occurs. This results in tea leaves that are incredibly rich in powerful antioxidant polyphenols.

An expanse of clinical research demonstrates that these antioxidant polyphenols—called catechins—offer a broad spectrum of protection against many diseases including certain cancers, Alzheimer's, heart disease, osteoporosis and arthritis. Green tea's catechins also act as antiviral and antibacterial agents, immune boosters, anti-inflammatories, fat burners and overall inhibitors of the aging process. Green tea's numerous health benefits are largely attributed to a substance called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a catechin unique to green tea which appears to be its most active constituent.

Studies show that in order to get the full benefits of drinking green tea, you need to drink at least three cups of brewed green tea per day. Many people miss out on its unique benefits because they don't like the taste or because they don't want to bother with brewing it from loose tea or tea bags. (Instant and bottled teas are usually lacking in antioxidants.) We wanted to make it easy to get a beneficial daily dose, so we formulated our Green Tea Extract, which provides the same amount of antioxidant catechins found in three average cups of green tea. Our standardized, decaffeinated extract also contains an exceptionally high concentration of EGCG.

Drinking green tea for health is an ancient practice, and we certainly recommend it. However, an analysis of commercial green teas found that certain brands had only half the antioxidants as others! Taking a standardized green tea extract daily is an excellent way to ensure that you are getting consistent amounts of green tea's beneficial antioxidants. Green tea extract is considered extremely safe, and research has shown that even very high concentrations of EGCG have no adverse effects. If you want to get the antioxidant equivalent of six cups of green tea daily, you can safely take two capsules of our Green Tea Extract per day.

What Makes Stop Aging Now's High Antioxidant Green Tea Extract Superior?

Our Green Tea Extract is made from the purest, most potent green tea available. Each capsule features 450 mg of green tea extract, standardized to contain 98% polyphenols, of which 80% is catechins and 70% is EGCG. Unlike brewed tea and non-standardized green tea extracts, our formula provides consistently high amounts of green tea's most active constituents.

At 70% EGCG, our Green Tea Extract contains the highest amount of EGCG achievable! Many green tea supplements contain only 20% to 40% EGCG and some are not standardized at all. One research study after another has shown that EGCG is the most protective of the antioxidants green tea contains.

Our Green Tea Extract is decaffeinated. Decaf brewed green tea typically has half the antioxidants of regular green tea. So, if you don't want the caffeine, you would actually have to drink twice as much decaf green tea to get the same amount of antioxidants. On the other hand, you can count on our standardized extract to deliver identical antioxidant dose—day after day, without the caffeine.

All of our premium products are made in the USA in a state-of-the art FDA inspected facility to meet the stringent standards of US Pharmacopeia (USP) for quality, purity, potency and disintegration. Most supplements are made to far lower standards.

Whether you take our premium products or those from another company, we strongly encourage to you to be sure to know where they are manufactured. If the bottle label doesn't say "Made in the USA", they are most likely not. Our manufacturing facilities are located in California, Illinois and Florida. We invite you to take a virtual tour of one of our facilities.

This Formula Is Based on the Latest Anti-Aging Research
Every single active ingredient contained in this formula is backed by multiple clinical research studies. We have done our homework, and we are proud to detail below the clinical research data that supports the inclusion of every active ingredient in this formula.

Green Tea

Green tea is produced from the Camellia sinensis plant, from which black tea is also produced. The difference between green and black tea is that with green tea, the leaves are steamed when fresh, which does not allow for the oxidation which occurs with black tea. Because oxidation does not take place, the green tea leaves are higher in polyphenols with potent antioxidant and anticancer properties.

Is there anything green tea can't do? A flurry of new studies suggests that green tea has wide-spectrum activity against heart disease, infections, diabetes, high blood pressure, age-related cognitive decline, Alzheimer's disease, osteoporosis, arthritis, gum disease, weight gain and more.

Green tea possesses unique antioxidants (mainly EGCG or epigallocatechin gallate and catechins) that act as highly potent antioxidant agents, artery and heart protectors, blood-sugar regulators, cholesterol and blood pressure reducers, antiviral and antibacterial agents, immune boosters, anti-inflammatories, calorie and fat burners, brain cell guardians and overall inhibitors of the aging process.

Here is a run-down of the exciting research on green tea and its main unique antioxidants, EGCG and catechins, considered responsible for most of green tea's impressive activity.

Green tea keeps arteries healthy. Researchers randomly assigned 42 subjects to receive either an EGCG supplement (green tea extract) or a placebo. They found that the subjects’ blood flow improved from 7.1 to 8.6% two hours after taking 300 mg of green tea extract. However, there was no significant improvement when measurements were taken 14 hours after the supplementation period. When researchers examined the levels of EGCG in the blood, it followed the same pattern — higher blood flow levels after the initial consumption and a return to starting levels after two weeks. Thus, proving that the EGCG’s effects only occur if you continue consuming it. (J Am Coll Nutr. 26(2): 95-102, 2007.)

Green tea may help prevent cancer. Drinking green tea is associated with decreased frequency of cancer development. According to a review done by the University of Northern Iowa, there is a wide range of mechanisms by which epigallocatechin gallate (ECGC) regulate cancer cell growth, survival, and metastasis, including effects at the DNA, RNA and protein levels. (Anticancer Agents Med Chem. 6(5):389-406, 2006.) Case in point, a study, published in the journal Cancer Epideminology Biomarkers and Prevention, followed 69,710 Chinese women between the ages of 40 and 70 for six years and found that reduction of colon cancer risk was related to the amount of tea regularly consumed and how long the subjects have been doing so. Those who consistently drank tea the most experienced the greatest reduction in risk. (Cancer Epidemiology Biomarkers & Prevention. 16(6): 1219-1223, 2007.)

Green tea can help keep cholesterol under control. Catechin is a major antioxidant constituent of green tea. Research form Japan’s Nippon Medical School found that the catechin from green tea (500 mg: equivalent to six or seven cups of green tea) decreased LDL (low-density lipoprotein) cholesterol levels. (Int Heart J.; 48(6):725-32, 2007.) This study supports a previous one that found high amounts of green tea catechins decrease LDL cholesterol levels, as well as reduced body fat. (Obesity (Silver Spring). 15(6):1473-83, 2007.)

Green tea keeps gums healthy. Green tea antioxidants inhibit bacteria that cause periodontal disease. (J Periodontal Res. 37(6):433-8, 2002)

Green tea protects the liver. EGCGs, found in green tea, have shown in studies to be helpful at blocking alcohol-induced liver damage including fat accumulation, inflammation and death of liver cells. (Hepatobiliary Pancreat Dis Int. 5(2):268-72, 2006.) As well, green tea protects the liver from fatty deposits, thus preventing fatty liver disease. (Journal of Nutrition. 138: 323-331, 2008.)

Green tea may improve osteoarthritis symptoms. Green tea catechins reduce inflammation and cartilage breakdown induced by arthritis. (J Orthop Res. 21(1):102-9, 2003, Free Radic Biol Med. 33(8):1097-105, 2002.)

Green tea can promote weight loss. In a Thai study of 60 obese people, subjects who took green tea and ate a low-fat diet lost up to 12 pounds more after eight weeks than the subjects who did not take green tea and only ate a low-fat diet. The researchers concluded that green tea could reduce body weight by increasing energy expenditure and fat oxidation. (Physiol Behav. 2007 Oct 18. [Epub ahead of print])

Green tea helps regulate blood sugar. A Greek study of 300 people found that green tea consumption is associated with reduced levels of fasting blood glucose among non-obese elderly people only. (Eur J Nutr. 47(1): 10-6, 2008.)

Green tea protects the brain. A Chinese study suggests that the antioxidant effects of green tea polyphenols may protect neurons against the detrimental effects of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and nitric oxide (NO) which have been associated with the development of Parkinson’s, thereby offering potential benefits for the disease. (Biological Psychiatry. 62(12): 1353-1362, 2007.)

Green tea protects the skin from UV radiation. Green tea may help prevent the reduction of the skin’s collagen that occurs when it is exposed to sunlight. (Food Chem Toxicol. 2007 Dec 8. [Epub ahead of print])

How safe is it? Of course, drinking green tea is an ancient practice, and the beverage of choice in some modern Asian cultures. It is considered extremely safe. However, the long-term safety of consuming extraordinarily high amounts of concentrated EGCG is unknown. Researchers studying the toxicity levels of EGCG found that 200 mg per kilogram of body weight daily had no adverse effects. This is 200 mg per 2.2 pounds of body weight. (Food Chem Toxicol. 44(5): 651-661, 2006.)
