Additional Potential Benefits of Green Tea – How Anvanca® Works

Green Tea May Promote Healthy Mental Function

Green Tea & Alzheimer’s Disease

One area that has shown promise is green tea’s potentially beneficial role in helping those suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.  These benefits are thought to be linked to the high antioxidant content of green tea.  The class of compounds, which are associated with green tea’s antioxidant properties, are called catechins.

Antioxidants in Green Tea may Improve Brain Cells Function

One theory is as to how green tea may benefit brain function is, the catechins play a role in acetylcholine production and re-use.  Acetylcholine is a fancy name for one of the chemicals that help neurons, nerves, and brain cells, transmit information to one another.  Damage to the system, which produces acetylcholine, is thought to be associated with memory loss.

A recent study examined the role that green tea catechins played in acetylcholine production.  Researchers found that green tea catechins play a role in regulating a key protein used in acetylcholine production.  This may explain why green tea may have the effects seen in the clinic.  However, the researchers also found that digestion can break down green tea catechins, which may make them less effective.   They also found that the caffeine found naturally in green tea may also boost its effect.

More Study Required on Green Tea to Prove a Mental Function benefit

Bottom line, there is a lot about how green tea works in the body that scientists still have to figure out.  There are some intriguing hints in the data, but more research is required before a definite answer can be made about the role of green tea in improving mental function.

Other Health Benefits of Green Tea

As more and more studies are published, there is mounting evidence to support that green tea may provide a number of health-promoting benefits.  Studies have shown positive effects in heart health, weight management, blood sugar regulation, and others.  However, it is important to note that the claims linking green tea to these benefits have not been approved by the FDA.  Until then, you should consider any of these findings as preliminary, and green tea should not be used to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
