Organo Gold Green Tea – The Vert
Vert is packed with polyphenols – powerful antioxidants that combine with Ganoderma lucidum to support peak body performance. This 100% organic melange comes directly from a biologically certified culture.
Smooth in flavor, this tea can be enjoyed hot or cold and add ginger, honey, miel or mint for an unexpected yet revitalizing twist.
Theanine
Green tea contains an amino acid known as theanine that supports mental wellness. It helps relieve stress, lower anxiety levels and enhance cognitive performance – while acting as an antioxidant and anti-inflammatory. You can take Theanine either alone as a supplement or add it to beverages of choice for its relaxing effects; perfect for insomniacs or chronic stress sufferers looking for relaxation remedies; improve sleep patterns and concentration; as well as possibly decreasing risk for depression and chronic anxiety.
L-theanine is a nonprotein amino acid found naturally in Camellia sinensis leaves and produced either through natural fermentation of glutamic acid with ethylamine, or synthetically through chemical synthesis. L-theanine has been demonstrated to cross the blood-brain barrier and act as a neurotransmitter, reduce blood pressure in humans and protect cells against oxidative damage; act as an antioxidant and promote growth and development both animals and plants, including increasing production of hepatic glutathione which reduces oxidative injury of liver cells while increasing production of hepatic glutathione; as well as encouraging development of innate immune responses in animals and plants.
This unique tea amino acid boasts multiple benefits and uses in poultry and animal feed. One study demonstrated how l-theanine could enhance egg quality by increasing albumen percentage and Haugh unit score for broilers, increasing hepatic glutathione content while decreasing levels of AST and ALT in liver tissues and heart tissue respectively.
Another study demonstrated the beneficial properties of l-theanine for improving the performance of laying hens by increasing egg production, hatchability rate, and decreasing abnormal yolks; in addition, its protective effects may help provide protection from heat shock or other stresses experienced by chickens.
Theanine, an amino acid found in both black and green tea, plays a significant role in relaxation, immune function enhancement, cognition improvement, anxiolytic properties and normal sleep patterns.
Polyphenols
Polyphenols can easily pass through your bloodstream and reach the brain, where they can help support cognitive health. Polyphenols do this by eliminating harmful free radicals and other toxins from the brain, thereby reducing inflammation and oxidative stress; neutralizing metal ions that may be toxic at high concentrations such as copper and iron; as well as helping prevent build-ups of protein deposits that lead to neurodegenerative conditions like Parkinson’s, Huntington’s, or Alzheimer’s.
Polyphenols may help to strengthen your immune system by suppressing pro-inflammatory cytokines and stimulating phagocytic cells. They can also lower cardiovascular disease risk by lowering cholesterol and triglyceride levels. Furthermore, polyphenols have also been proven to aid bone health by increasing osteoblast activity (the cells responsible for building bones) while decreasing osteoclasts’ actions (those responsible for breaking them down).
Polyphenols may also help decrease insulin resistance and enhance glycemic control by encouraging the secretion of cholecystokinin (CCK) and glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1), hormones that regulate glucose homeostasis and appetite regulation respectively. They may also protect pancreatic cells that produce insulin from damage by decreasing oxidative stress levels in these pancreatic cells.
Polyphenols can further improve your health by acting as prebiotics for the gut microbiota. A 2021 review of evidence indicates that polyphenols do possess prebiotic properties based on their interaction with T2R receptors in various ways – this includes decreasing inflammation, increasing bacteriocins and defensins production, modulating bile acids production, and increasing gut immuno-globulins levels.
Polyphenols are powerful antioxidants, capable of significantly lowering reactive oxygen species (ROS), which are known to cause cell damage and death. Polyphenols accomplish this feat by contributing one or more electrons from themselves to ROS molecules thereby making them less reactive; additionally they activate enzymes such as Glycerol-3-phosphate dehydrogenase and Superoxide Dismutases that actively fight ROS production as well as directly interact with cells’ hydroxyl groups to make polyphenols much more efficient at combatting ROS than simple electron donors such as vitamins C & E alone.
Ganoderma Lucidum
Ganoderma lucidum (or Reishi mushroom), known for its anti-aging, immunity boosting, and tumor fighting properties is widely recognized for its adaptogenic qualities that include improving sleep and mental alertness as well as helping regulate gut bacteria to promote cardiovascular wellbeing. Reishi mushrooms contain Adenosine Triphosphate (ATP) energy booster which increases stamina and endurance. Reishi mushrooms also act as natural adaptogens by improving sleep quality while simultaneously increasing stamina. It has even been known to promote cardiovascular wellbeing through regulation of gut bacteria as well.
Ganoderma is an incredible antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals and protecting cells against oxidative damage. Additionally, ganoderma contains numerous polyphenols – powerful anti-oxidants and inflammation fighters that play an integral part of human health – making our Vert Melange leaves an invaluable ally in maintaining both body and mind at peak performance.
Reishi mushrooms used in our tea are grown organically and certified by the USDA, harvested and dried directly from clusters on our Oregon farm. Unlike most other reishi products, our organic tea contains no chemical fertilizers or additives ensuring it remains pure and safe to consume.
Reishi contains polysaccharides and triterpenes renowned for their therapeutic effects, both known as polysaccharides and triterpenes respectively. Polysaccharides consist of chains of sugar molecules while triterpenes contain organic molecules with a C30 skeleton that are known as triterpenes – these can include coumarins, ergosterols, alkaloids, fatty acids, water-soluble proteins as well as various other categories like triterpenes! Additionally reishi contains an abundance of phenolic acids and isoprene units for maximum therapeutic potential!
Research has demonstrated that Reishi can help restore balance to your digestive system, leading to improvements in mood and memory. Reishi may also provide energy boosts and provide a relaxing effect. It has even been used as a treatment for metabolic diseases as it regulates specific gut flora while decreasing lipid and cholesterol levels.
Reishi has long been an integral part of Asian culture. Even ancient people utilized its healing powers thousands of years ago! Reishi boasts multiple health benefits and has long been revered as an adaptogen that supports body functioning as it was intended.
