Understanding Polyphenols and Catechins
Certain plants such as green tea are composed of a high content
of polyphenols which are bioflavonoids that have been shown to have
antioxidant properties.
Most polyphenols in green tea are commonly known as catechins possessing
highly potent antioxidant characteristics.
The major preventative catechin in green tea polyphenol is epigallocatechin
gallate or (EGCG). Other catechins found in green tea are epigallocatechin
(EGC), epicatehcin 3-gallate (ECG) and epicatechin (EC).
Skin Care Benefits Associated with the Replenix Polyphenol Based

is a patent-pending formulation composed of 90% polyphenol isolates,
derived from green tea with potent antioxidant properties, to assist

Green Tea Polyphenol Research Highlights
Research suggests that "Of all the antioxidants known to mankind,
the components of green tea are the most potent".
Archives of Dermatology 2000; 136; 989-994
Research
further suggests that "Analysis of published studies demonstrates
that green tea polyphenols have anti-inflammatory and anticarcinogenic
properties. These effects appear to correlate with antioxidant properties
of green tea polyphenols".
Archives of Dermatology 2000; 136; 989-994
Research has shown "that green tea, specifically the component
EGCG, has the ability to block UV-B-induced leukocyte infiltration
in mouse as well as human skin".
Carcinogenesis 1999; 2117-2124
Research also suggests that "induction of skin tumors by UV
radiation was significantly educed by topical, but not oral, administration
of purified EGCG through a mechanism distinct from inhibition of
photoimmunosupression".
