Green tea is made from the dried leaves ofCamellia sinensis , a perennial evergreen shrub. Green tea has a long history of use, dating back to China approximately 5,000 years ago. Green tea, black tea, and oolong tea are all derived from the same plant.
Tea varieties reflect the growing region (for example, Ceylon or Assam), the district (for example, Darjeeling), the form (for example, pekoe is cut, gunpowder is rolled), and the processing method (for example, black, green, or oolong). India and Sri Lanka are the major producers of green tea.
Historically, tea has been served as a part of various ceremonies and has been used to stay alert during long meditations. A legend in India describes the story of Prince Siddhartha Gautama, the founder of Buddhism, who tore off his eyelids in frustration at his inability to stay awake during meditation while journeying through China. A tea plant is said to have sprouted from the spot where his eyelids fell, providing him with the ability to stay awake, meditate, and reach enlightenment. Turkish traders reportedly introduced tea to Western cultures in the 6th Century.

How does ZENITH NUTRITIONS Resveratrol /Green Tea/C/Grape Plus work?
This powerful combination of antioxidants helps protect the body form the effects of free radicals, unstable molecules that attack cells which may lead to numerous health concerns and premature aging.
Resveratrol is an antioxidant compound highly concentrated in grape seeds and skins that is also abundant in red wine. It has been shown in studies to positively impact healthy cholesterol levels, support healthy blood pressure, help maintain healthy circulation and enhance overall cardiovascular health.
Green tea is rich in epigallocatechin gallate, also known as EGCG, a potent antioxidant that is 200 times more powerful than vitamin E in fighting free radicals. Green tea supports healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels, may promote liver health, and may also assist with weight management by helping to boost metabolism.
Vitamin C is one of nature's most powerful antioxidants. It is important to the development and repair of all bodily tissues; the healing of wounds; the repair of cartilage, bones and teeth; and the production of collagen. Since it is not made or stored within the body, vitamin C must be replaced regularly through diet or supplementation.
ZENITH NUTRITIONS Resveratrol Green Tea/C/Grape Complex is better because it:
- Offers a potent combination of antioxidants in each single-capsule serving.
- Provides exceptional quality at extraordinary value.
