Res-Q Mega Acai, a superior antioxidant supplement, provides a unique combination of multiple, powerful antioxidants designed to fight different types of free radicals.  Green tea leaf extract is included in Res-Q Mega Acai due to its efficacy on specific types of free radicals and its wonderful well-known antioxidant properties and health benefits.  The Acai berry fruit, pomegranate fruit and green tea leaf extracts in Res-Q Mega Acai have superior antioxidant activity allowing for optimal health benefits.

 The entire body is made up of cells and these cells need antioxidants for optimal balance. Excess amounts of free radicals can harm cells. Neutralizing multiple types of free radicals promotes better cell health and arterial health.

The antioxidants in green tea promote good health by neutralizing free radicals. Green tea is very effective at neutralizing hydroxyl radicals, harmful free radicals. Green tea binds with hydroxyl radicals thus neutralizing them. Green tea also helps inhibit the formation of free radicals. The leaves of green tea contain beneficial active constituents called polyphenols, phytochemicals with antioxidant benefits. Phytochemicals are beneficial compounds present in plants, vegetables and fruits. One of the most well-known active constituents in green tea is EGCG, also called epigallocatechin-3-gallate, a polyphenol present in green tea leaves.
 
Green tea is produced by steaming the fresh leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis, an evergreen shrub with dark green leaves and white flowers. This process inactivates oxidizing enzymes and leaves the polyphenol content intact. Since black tea is produced by oxidizing the young tea leaves, it does not have the exact same active constituents or health benefits as green tea.

 Although green tea has many health benefits, green tea is included in Res-Q Mega Acai for its powerful antioxidant abilities. For the health benefits of green tea associated with weight loss, we recommend Res-Q TrimSystem, our primary product to support a healthy weight loss regimen. Res-Q TrimSystem contains the proper levels of green tea leaf extract to stimulate the metabolism plus many nutrients and herbs that help facilitate weight loss, burn fat, and help combat hunger. 

Furthermore, green tea has detoxification properties that promote good health and well-being. Green tea has antioxidant, anti-viral, anti-bacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea may also encourage good intestinal flora.

By combining green tea leaf extract with pomegranate and Acai fruit extracts, we can provide a powerful antioxidant supplement.
