How to Get the Healing Power of the Sun in a Pill

What if I told you there's now a way to harness the power of the sun to prevent disease? And what if I also told you this power of the sun is now available in an easy-to-take capsule? Well, not only are both of these true, but there's a ton of research to prove this new capsule could be one of the best supplements you'll ever take.

As you may know, the sun is an incredible healer. When you spend time outdoors, your body uses the sun to produce vitamin D, which is an amazingly protective nutrient. But the sun does something else in your body. If you expose your body to too much sun, it can burn your skin. But you were created to spend time in the sun. So your body handles this danger by manufacturing protective pigments in response to the sun.

In much the same way, plants make incredible chemicals in their leaves to protect against the sun. That's why plants are so good for you. They are loaded with nutrients thanks to the sun. But some of these nutrients are more powerful than others. And among the most powerful of these chemicals are those found

in green tea.

I've told you about green tea over the years. Research has proven that green tea is one of the healthiest things you can put in your body.

Green tea is a favorite drink among the many Asian peoples of the world. It differs from black tea in that the leaves are not allowed to oxidize. The oxidation process imparts certain flavors to tea. But it also may alter the chemicals in the tea, rendering them less effective in some areas (but not all, as black tea is also found to carry significant health benefits).

So what are these powerful chemicals I mentioned? Green tea contains some of nature's most powerful polyphenols, which are also considered to be antioxidants (free radical scavengers). The tea plant makes these phytochemicals in its leaves in response to sunlight. As these phytochemicals protect the plant, they can protect you as well, from a variety of problems.

The most common of the green tea phytochemicals are catechins. Green tea contains 10 times more catechins than black tea. EGCG is among the most powerful of this class of chemicals. Green tea is particularly loaded with EGCG, more than 1/3 of all its catechins. One cup of green tea can raise your EGCG level as much as 200 times over baseline.

Just how protective are catechins? These chemicals can dramatically protect your circulation. Endothelial cells are the inner lining cells of your vessels. Their function has emerged as extremely important in the development of hypertension and arterial damage. One study on smokers showed that just one drink of green tea can protect the function of these cells. It actually improves their ability to dilate blood vessels in response to stress.

Researchers in the Philippines conducted a small study on 15 patients who were not previous green tea drinkers. They gave the patients a cup of green tea to drink three times a day after meals for two weeks. Their average blood pressure fell from 130/87 to 117/81 after one week! After two weeks, it was down to 118/80. And their total cholesterol dropped from 235 mg/dL to 187 mg/dL.

If you have fears about cancer, many studies suggest that green tea will reduce your risk. One study followed men who had non-invasive prostate cancer. They found that taking 600 mg daily of EGCG from green tea reduced their subsequent risk of getting the deadly invasive form by 85%.

Another study found that EGCG can induce apoptosis in certain leukemias. Apoptosis is programmed cell death when cells go awry. Cancer cells lose this important function. Some patients of the author of this study then started consuming green tea in large amounts. Three of four patients had actual improvement with just the green tea. Green tea compounds lower the chemicals that stimulate blood vessel growth in cancers.

There's more. Green tea can dramatically protect your brain. Studies have shown that it protects neurons from neurotoxins that can induce Parkinson's.

Worried about Alzheimer's? With green tea, you can worry a lot less. Green tea EGCG compounds reduce the destructive beta amyloid protein in mice brains by over 50%. The researchers said that a corresponding dose in humans would be about 1,500 mg per day. Beta amyloid is considered highly responsible for Alzheimer's damage.

Green tea can also:

• Protect you from sleep apnea-induced brain damage. Sleep apnea halts the flow of oxygen to your brain, which damages valuable brain cells.

• Stop kidney stones. Green tea may reduce oxalic acid, a compound that forms stones in your urinary passages.

• Freshen your breath. Less than 700 mg of green tea powder on your tongue reduces the production of foul smelling volatile chemicals made by bacteria in your mouth.

The wonders of green tea just don't seem to stop. I've written about it extensively. And you can read those articles on my website. The bioflavonoid EGCG should be a regular part of everyone's diet. I drink green tea almost daily. Now that might not be convenient for you to do. So, at my urging Advanced Bionutritionals has formulated a green tea extract to my specifications. I can tell you that I'm very pleased with this new product. One capsule contains 750 mg of dried green tea extract. But better, it's standardized to the wonderful bioflavonoid EGCG. At least 40% of its weight is actual EGCG.

If you look at the research I mentioned earlier, you'll see that you need only two capsules per day to achieve the level of protection seen in the studies. And, you won't have to sit around otherwise brewing 10 cups of green tea.

The green tea leaves of this product grow in China. But Advanced Bionutritionals has painstakingly researched the growing conditions and manufacturing process to ensure its purity. The leaves are harvested by hand (not mechanical processing, which can damage them). They are not treated with any chemicals. The plants are non-GMO and they're dried in the field. Tests are performed for microorganisms, pesticides, and heavy metals.

The final extraction of the concentrate is done in Germany by incredibly safe methods. The finished extract is then assayed for total polyphenols and EGCG. I believe that this product is the finest you'll find anywhere on the market.

onsumer Labs recently failed three other products for contamination and low potency compared to the label claim. That won't happen with the Advanced Bionutritionals product. They guarantee it!

If you're looking for an incredible supplement that can protect you from heart disease, cancer, and dementia, then look no further than this fabulous Green Tea Extract.
