Green tea comes from the plant Camellia sinensis. Black tea, green tea, and oolong tea are all made from the same plant but are prepared using different processing methods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green tea extract contains polyphenols. These include the most active type, epigallocatechin gallate. Green tea and oolong tea have the highest levels of polyphenols. This means they have the most health benefits. The fermentation and processing to make black tea decreases the polyphenols. It does this by converting them to theaflavins and thearubigins. All of the teas have catechins and tannins in different amounts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other significant parts of tea include caffeine, theobromine, and theophylline. The polyphenols of green tea are strong antioxidants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tea is the second most popular drink in the world. People drink it for its flavor and stimulant effect.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Studies suggest that the polyphenols in tea, especially green tea, may help reduce the risk of some cancers. Or it may slow the growth of certain types of cancers. Studies done in humans have shown mixed results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tea is used as a stimulant drink. The methylxanthines, specifically caffeine, increase alertness. It\u2019s also a mild stimulant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Green tea extract ointment has been shown to cure external genital and perianal warts. This product is approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). It\u2019s available by prescription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although it couldn\u2019t provide a clear insight as of now, the researchers see potential in using these extracts and are trying to research more. [6]<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n There is a significant amount of research on the effects of green tea extracts on heart health.
