Wu Long Tea..A Potent Free Radical Fighter With Weight Loss Properties

There is a whole lot of information out there on Wulong tea...but keeping strictly to the theme of this website we will cover the antioxidant, along with the anti-aging bits, and touch ever so slightly on wu long or oolong tea weight loss too.

Demand for wu long skyrocketed. People from all around the world who had never been aware of these amazing health benefits have been enjoying this refreshing and fragrant tea.



Ok..Polyphenols, they are a natural antioxidant found in Wu-Long tea. In fact these biological compounds (polyphenols) are powerful antioxidants. What does that mean to you? Well some of the 'nasty' signs of ageing such as wrinkled and rough skin, dark spots on the skin and loss of memory have been reported to diminish with regular consumption of wu-long tea.

Catechin...This is the primary polyphenol found in wu-long tea, in fact almost up to 40% of the tea's weight composition.

EGCG, stands for Epigallocatechin gallete and is one of the most abundant Polyphenols in wu-long tea. It's about 25-100 times stronger than vitamins C or E.

Catechin along with other polyphenols actually make up much of the tea's weight composition.
