Epi-Dex:
Green Tea with Cyclodextrin
Discover how this powerhouse nutraceutical can help protect your heart and brain... and boost your longevity.
For over 5,000 years healers in Asia have realized what only a few of today's drug addled medical establishment are only beginning to grasp...
Nature's pharmacy can't be matched or duplicated by artificial drugs.
People in the Orient have benefited from the life-enhancing properties of green tea... well before the Asian Paradox forced Western scientists to answer this question...
If Asians smoked heavily compared to Americans... why did they have lower rates of heart disease and cancer?
According to a 2006 study published by the Yale School of Medicine... the answer can be found in their frequent drinking of green tea.
An article published in the May, 2006 Journal of the American College of Surgeons was based on experimental and clinical studies about green tea.
Researchers at Yale University compared several hundred separate studies and concluded that green tea is a major contributor to the low incidence of cancer in many Asian countries.
As far back as 1994 the Journal of the National Cancer Institute published a study indicating that esophageal cancer was reduced by nearly 60% for Chinese men and women who drank green tea on a daily basis.
In 1998... Purdue University researchers Dorothy Morre and D. James Morre discovered that EGCG – the active compound in green tea - blocks an enzyme linked to cancer cell growth... and that EGCG can kill cultured cancer cells with no ill effect on healthy cells.
And that only covers a small portion of green tea's healing powers...
Green Tea- The Elixer of Life
More recently, the December 2010 edition of the journal Phytomedicine reported that green tea compounds provided enhanced protection against Alzheimer's.
A study released by the British Journal of Nutrition in 2008 reported on EGCG's positive ability to balance insuline levels...
A 2007 Japanese study published in the journal Obesity confirms polyphenols from green tea helped to reduce body fat and the risk of heart disease.
And there is so much more...
A study published in the September 13, 2006 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association reports...
“Green tea consumption is associated with reduced mortality due to all causes and due to cardiovascular disease...”
In 2009 the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing reported on the life-extending effects of EGCG...claiming that EGCG has been shown to have beneficial effects... such as anticarcinogenesis... antiobesity... and blood pressure reduction.
Scientific research indicates polyphenols from the green tea can help to:
· Detoxify toxic chemicals and inhibit cancer cell activity
· stimulate production of immune-strengthening enzymes.
· relieve Rheumatoid arthritis and promote joint mobility
· Reduce LDL-cholesterol levels and the formation of blod clots
· Cut stroke by up to 80% and reduce the risk of heart disease
· Promote weight loss and increase our exercise capacity
· Restore healthy bacteria in the intestines and enhance digestion
· Stop dental decay and gum disease
· Prevent bad breath and keep a clear complexion
· Fight infections, bacteria and viruses
· Boost our immune system and resistance to cancer
· Defend our cells from free radicals and support healthy DNA
Protecting Hearts and Minds
The secret to green tea's power comes from compounds called polyphenols... with one polyphenol – EGCG(epigallocatechin) – considered the king of antioxidants.
The antioxidant activity of EGCG plays an especially vital role in protecting our brain and heart...
Brain tissue is soft and jelly like – and in need of extra protection from threats within and without the body.
While your brain is 80% water it is still the fattiest organ in your body.
Your cell membranes are formed from lipids – and their integrity is crucial to how well brain cells can function.
The gray matter of your brain is composed largely of the fatty acid DHA – DHA is also the main component of brain synapses.
And your neurons are also rich in fatty acids.
Free-radicals - reactive oxygen species(ROS) – are generated by the natural metabolic process of converting oxygen to energy as well as environmental factors.
About 2% to 5% of the oxygen consumed by our cells converts to free-radicals... releasing rogue electrons like biological terrorists... damaging dna and destroying cells.
Normally these free-radicals are consumed by cellular defenders - produced by our body's own defense system – known as antioxidants.
Unfortunately 1% of ROS escape to wreak havoc and accelerate aging.
Because the brain is composed of polyunsaturated fats... it's a soft target for free-radicals.
The brain consumes 20% of the body's oxygen flow... exposing the brain to a higher level of free-radical exposure.
Topping that off... high levels of ascorbates and iron in the brain are free-radical magnets.
As a result... free radicals ravage the phospholipid membranes of brain cells... and damage the myelin-fatty material protecting our nervous-system.
As a brain permeable antioxidant... EGCG may be the most effective antioxidant for protecting the brain and the nervous-system.
For example... EGCG helps to decrease the accumulation of the beta-amyloid – plaque deposits linked to Alzheimer's Disease.
The February 2006 edition of the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reports...
“A higher consumption of green tea is associated with a lower prevalence of cognitive impairment in humans.”
A 2006 study published in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that elderly Japanese people who consumed more than 2 cups of green tea a day had a 50 percent lower chance of experiencing mental decline... in comparison to those who drank fewer than 2 cups a day, or who consumed other beverages.
EGCG also plays a key role in helping to prevent heart disease...
As a powerful antioxidant it can mop up the free-radicals oxidizing cholesterol flowing through your blood stream... cholesterol not oxidized by free-radicals performs many vital functions such as creating hormones critical to good heath...
The antioxidant activity of EGCG helps prevent rampaging free-radicals from shredding your arteries and helps prevent cholesterol oxidization.
The June 2010 edition of the Journal of Applied Physiology reports...
“Green tea consumption is associated with reduced cardiovascular mortality in some epidemiological studies.”
Green team polyphenols help to decrease harmful LDL-cholesterol levels and raise beneficial HDL-cholesterol levels.
Scientific studies reveal that EGCG helps to prevent LDL oxidation... regulate lipids... and reduce platelet aggregation... all of which can lead to heart disease.
A study published in Phytotherapy Research credits EGCG with the abilitly to help keep the circulatory system in good condition.
And that is just the most recent of scores of scientific studies verifying the healing power of green tea and its active compounds.
Now you can benefit from the most potent green tea product to hit the market...
Introducing Epi-Dex
Green tea with concentrated polyphenols and EGCG... enhanced with Cyclodextrin... for profound life changing results...
Epi-Dex is formulated with the highest concentration of poly-phenols(98%) and EGCG(60%) with cyclodextrin added for optimal absorption... higher bio-availabilty... and maxiumum potency.
