Research shows the incredible health properties of green tea are due to polyphenols, also known as catechins, a potent type of disease-fighting flavonoid and antioxidant which detoxifies cell-damaging free radicals. Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the most biologically active polyphenol in green tea. Origine8® contains a potent combination of these key antioxidants which are clinically proven to help slow down the ageing process and improve overall health. Produced from live green tea within six hours of harvest through a patented extraction process called Phytofare® and validated by the University of the North West, South Africa, Origine8® is further perfected by a world-first, proven and advanced nutraceutical delivery system, known as liposomal delivery. A liposome is a micro-particle that encapsulates the catechins in green tea ensuring much higher absorption and bioavailability of Origine8®, making it potentially easier and faster for the full range of nutrients to get into your cells and energize them. This increased absorption of Origine8® in the body ensures that the nutrient content is delivered directly into the cells. A clinical study found that the catechins from a single dose of Origine8® stayed in the bloodstream for 24 hours compared to six hours in the case of regular green tea extracts.
