Benefit of Green Tea
Anxiety
L-theanine is a predominant amino acid found in green tea. Preliminary research exists on the effects of this amino acid in comparison with the prescription drug alprazolam on experimentally induced anxiety.
Arthritis
Research indicates that green tea may benefit arthritis by reducing inflammation and slowing cartilage breakdown.
Asthma
Research has shown caffeine to cause improvements in airflow to the lungs (bronchodilation). However, it is not clear if caffeine or tea use has significant benefits in people with asthma.
Cancer (general)
Overall, the relationship of green tea consumption and human cancer remains inconclusive. One clinical trial showed minimal benefit using green tea extract capsules for the treatment of hormone refractory prostate cancer. .
Cardiovascular conditions
There is early suggestive evidence that regular intake of green tea may reduce the risk of heart attack or atherosclerosis (clogged arteries).
Common cold prevention
In humans, preliminary date suggests that a specific formulation of green tea may help prevent cold and flu symptoms.
Dental cavity prevention
There is limited study of tea as a gargle (mouthwash) for the prevention of dental cavities (caries).
Diabetes
More studies are required to determine if green tea and polyphenols have any therapeutic benefit for diabetes prevention or treatment.
Fertility
Early research using a combination product called FertilityBlend has been associated with some success in helping women to conceive. Further well-designed research on green tea alone for this use is needed before a strong conclusion can be drawn.
High cholesterol
Laboratory studies, animal studies, and limited human research suggest possible effects of green tea on cholesterol levels.
Hypertension
Green tea has been shown to increase or have no effect on blood pressure in several studies in humans.
Hypertriglyceridemia
Laboratory, animal, and limited human research suggest possible effects of green tea on triglyceride levels.
Menopausal symptoms
A study conducted in healthy postmenopausal women showed that a morning/evening menopausal formula containing green tea was effective in relieving menopausal symptoms including hot flashes and sleep disturbance.
Mental performance/alertness
Several preliminary studies have examined the effects of caffeine, tea, or coffee use on short and long-term memory and cognition. It remains unclear if tea is beneficial for this use. Limited, low-quality research reports that the use of green tea may improve cognition and sense of alertness. Green tea contains caffeine, which is a stimulant.
Photoprotection
There is limited animal and human study of green tea as a protective agent of skin from ultraviolet light skin injury. Some study results conflict. Comparisons have not been made with well-established forms of sun protection such as ultraviolet protective sunscreen. The effects of green tea on skin damage caused by the sun remain unclear.
Viral infection (human T-cell lymphocytic virus)
Preliminary research suggests green tea decreases viral load in carriers of the HTLV-1 virus. Additional well-designed controlled research is needed before a recommendation can be made for or against green tea in the treatment of HTLV-1 carriers.
Weight loss (maintenance)
There are several small human studies addressing the use of green tea extract (GTE) capsules for weight loss or weight maintenance in overweight or average weight individuals. Study results are mixed.
