This document provides information about Tegreen 97, a green tea extract dietary supplement produced by Pharmanex. It contains 97% polyphenols, the highest level in the industry, equivalent to drinking 7 cups of green tea. Research shows green tea's polyphenols, especially EGCg, protect cells from damage by acting as antioxidants, preventing lipid peroxidation, and inducing programmed cell death in abnormal cells. Tegreen 97 supports general well-being and cellular health to help reduce risks of serious diseases like cancer.

3. Tegreen® 97
Tea is HOT!
•Tremendous positive press
•Top 20 in health food sales
•Thousands of studies worldwide
•Including National Cancer Institute

4. Second most popular beverage

5. Green tea vs. Black tea
• Green tea
– Camellia sinensis
– lightly steamed and dried
• Benefit of process
– inactivates enzymes to
preserve polyphenol
content (chemistry similar
to fresh leaves)
• Black tea
– Camellia sinensis
– withered, rolled,
fermented and dried.
• Benefit of process
– flavor enhancing
• Disadvantage
– Alters the spectrum of the
polyphenols

6. Proprietary processing
• Only finest leaf buds and young leaves used
• Cultivated in Zhejiang province (number one tea-producing
region in China)
• Proprietary extraction process
– Achieves 97% polyphenols
• 65% Catechins
– 38% EGCg
• Eliminates virtually all the caffeine

7. Tegreen® 97 Attributes
• Highest levels of polyphenols in industry
– 97% polyphenols
– Most competitors: 50-65% polyphenols
• Once per day dose
– Equivalent to 7 cups of green tea beverage
• Caffeine free
• Clinically and scientifically proven
• Proprietary processing

8. Polyphenols
• Broad class of compounds including
– proanthocyanidins
– flavonoids
• anthocyanidins
• catechins
– Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)
– others

9. Green tea research
• Epidemiological studies
– Asian populations showed significant overall health
maintenance even with “bad lifestyle habits”
• Polyphenolic compounds
– significant research on the antioxidant benefits
– protection of cellular components
– deactivation of abnormal cell specific enzymes

10. In vitro DNA protection study
(Kansas University)
8 glasses of
grape juice
3 glasses of
red wine
7 cups of
green tea
4 glasses of
iced tea
Based on EGCg levels

11. Catechins Protect Red Blood Cells
• Research shows that the catechins
“spare” beta carotene and vitamin C.
– Overall protection the red blood cell against
oxidative damage

12. Additional polyphenol research
• block the formation of some potentially toxic compounds,
such as nitrosamines, which are formed from the ingestion
of some cured meats
• prevent and protect against destructive free radicals
• inhibit spontaneous and photo-enhanced lipid peroxidation
• increase the activity of naturally occurring antioxidants and
detoxifying enzymes

13. Non-antioxidant Related Research
• Trigger programmed cell death
– EGCg blocks the enzyme responsible for
preventing normal cell death
• tumor-specific NADH oxidase (tNOX) not active in normal
cells
