**Tincture of Green Tea** –Camellia Sinensis–Originating in China, Green Tea has certainly made its way across the world as one of the most popular teas in the world. The first recorded brewing of Green Tea was back in 2737 BC in China. Since then, it use has steadily increased up to now where it is commonly used in foods, beverages, supplements, and even cosmetics nearly all over the world. New varieties of the plant have even been developed depending on where it is grown.The main reason for the rise in popularity of Green Tea is the discovery of all the health benefits that are correlated with the consumption of it. Many different studies performed all over the world have all indicated nearly countless health benefits from this wonderful tea. Green Tea contains many different amino acids, carbohydrates, enzymes, lipids, sterols, phytochemicals, minerals, and polyphenols. This product does contain a small amount of caffeine. This tincture is made in small batches with a 1:5 herb to menstruum ratio with dried green tea.How does it work?The most important contents of Green Tea are arguably the polyphenols. The two polyphenols that are most abundant in Green Tea are catechins and flavonoids. Of these catechins, Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) is the most well known and important. EGCG has been the focus of many studies for many different conditions. Flavonoids are equally as important as EGCG, as the flavonoids function as powerful antioxidants and have been found to have the potential to contribute to better overall health.As far as its cognitive effects go, caffeine plays a partial role in this. Caffeine has long been understood to both boost physical performance as well as mental stamina and focus. More important that caffeine, however, Green Tea contains L – Theanine, which is an amino acid that works very well with caffeine in improving many functions of the brain. L – Theanine is actually commonly used in stacks of nootropics to boost cognitive abilities, so Green Tea is a natural form of this in a way.These statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Our tinctures contain 40% grain alcohol in order to preserve the quality of the solution. Since alcohol can have a rather offensive taste, we have a number of suggestions for how to ingest this: Place the drops directly under the tongue and chase with a small glass of water, juice, or any other fluid that may taste more pleasant Place the drops directly in an ounce or so of water or other fluid and drink that If serving to children under the age of 21, or if you want to avoid the harsh taste of the alcohol, you can either let the tincture sit out or heat it up on very low heat, until the alcohol evaporates (alcohol evaporates faster than water)About our tinctures:Pure Health tinctures are a great alternative to herbal teas, capsules, and pills.
