A new study has indicated that Teawell 50, a green tea extract from A. Holliday & Company, may delay or prevent Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. Teawell 50 is a 50% pure extraction of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).

The study was performed by Dr. Stephane Bastianetto, a researcher at the Douglas Mental Health University Institute, Department of Psychiatry, McGill University in Montreal, Canada.

Results showed that rats fed food that contained Teawell 50 extract showed had an 18% reduction of free radicals compared to a control group. Free radicals are highly reactive molecules that damage cells and accelerate the loss of neurons in a key region of the brain that is involved with learning and memory. Typically, this region is severely damaged where Alzheimer’s disease is present.

“This suggests that regular consumption of green tea, specifically the extract Teawell 50, may protect brain cells against the deleterious effects of oxidative stress, delaying or even preventing age-related memory deficits,” said Dr. Bastianetto. For further information: www.teacoff.com
