Effects of tea polyphenols in tea

Tea ceremony is one of the traditional Chinese cultures. Tea culture is welcomed by most people. Many people believe that tea tasting is a very profound and pleasant thing, but there are very few people who know how to drink tea. Drinking more tea can effectively lower blood pressure and resist aging. It is a very good health product for everyone. The effect of tea comes from the tea polyphenols contained in tea. So what is the role of this tea polyphenol?

1. Anti-oxidation and anti-aging

The most important substance in tea polyphenols is anthocyanin. We know that the reason why French red wine Lafite and Yunnan Zijuan tea are so expensive is because of their extremely high anthocyanin content. The most important function of anthocyanin is anti-oxidation and slowing down the aging process of the skin. Tea polyphenols can scavenge free radicals, inhibit lipoxygenase and lipid peroxidation in the skin, and have anti-aging effects. Studies have shown that the antioxidant properties of tea polyphenols are significantly better than those of vitamin E, and have a synergistic effect with vitamins C and E.

Tea polyphenols have a regulatory effect on human sugar metabolism disorders, can lower blood sugar levels, and effectively prevent and treat diabetes.

3. Healthy teeth and bad breath

Tea polyphenol compounds have the function of inhibiting the activity of glucose polymerase, which prevents glucose from polymerizing on the bacterial surface. As a result, bacteria cannot implant on the teeth, thus interrupting the process of caries formation. In addition, the surfactant effect of saponins in tea can enhance the bactericidal effect of fluorine and tea polyphenols. The anti-caries effect of tea is mainly the result of the combined effects of these three types of compounds.
