Default Green Tea Extract Improves Blood Flow

"31/05/2007- The heart healthy reputation of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), the main extract from green tea, may be due in part to improvement in blood flow through the vessels, suggests a clinical trial from the US.

"EGCG acutely improves endothelial function in humans with coronary artery disease, and may account for a portion of the beneficial effects of flavonoid-rich food on endothelial function," wrote the authors in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition."
