CamelliaSelect ® is a dietary supplement that contains a dry extract of young green tea leaves, vitamin C (PureWay-C® L-ascorbic acid) and zinc (mono L-methionine zinc sulfate, L-OptiZinc ®).
The dry extract of young decaffeinated green tea leaves (< 0.01% caffeine) in CamelliaSelect ® has a high absorption as it is formulated with Fitosoma (Phytosome ®) technology: the catechins in green tea bind to sunflower phosphatidylcholine, achieving 2 times greater absorption than the extract without this technology.
Tea is a beverage that has been used in China for 5000 years for its beneficial properties, both for the body and for the mind. The tea is made with the young, tender leaves of the species Camellia sinensis L., from South China and Southeast Asia, although it is currently cultivated all over the world, both in tropical and subtropical regions. Depending on the degree of oxidation in the brewing process, different types of tea are obtained. The one with the lowest degree of oxidation and, therefore, the greatest health benefits, is green tea, since it maintains a large amount of the antioxidants that are lost in other varieties.
Green tea has great antioxidant potential due to its high polyphenol content: catechins. Within this group, the best known and most active are epigallocatechin (EGC) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG)
.
The health benefits of green tea have been extensively studied, especially in weight control, where the catechins in green tea help control fat accumulation, maintain a healthy body mass index and normal glucose levels. In addition, vitamin C (PureWay-C ®) and zinc (L-OptiZinc ®), together with the catechins in green tea, may provide benefits in
protecting against oxidative damage.
Camellia sinesis, like other polyphenols, has a low absorption in the intestine, so it is important to incorporate a formulation that increases its bioavailability.
Phytosome ® technology originates following the concept of biomimicry, that is, in the belief that, by imitating nature and supporting it with the knowledge provided by research, through processes and principles developed in the laboratory, benefits can be achieved in terms of rationalization, simplification, sustainability, tolerability and human safety.
Phytosome ® technology follows a patented method by which the individual components of a plant extract are coated with a phospholipid (phosphatidylcholine or phosphatidylserine). The human body recognizes these phospholipids as nutrients and allows the active ingredients of plants to naturally cross cell membranes, optimizing their absorption.
In a simple way: Phytosome ® Technology mimics the natural process of nutrient absorption, to bring an active plant ingredient into the cell.
