  MILLION ® Premium Green Tea is designed for consumers of all ages. However, the targeted market population is adults that would benefit from additional nutritional support. A significant segment of this target is the 78 million baby boomers that represent nearly one-third of the U.S. population. There is no other ready-to-drink tea available specifically marketed to these demographics. As people lose tolerance for high-sugar based teas, sodas and energy drinks, we anticipate MILLION ® Premium Green Tea to become a leading competitor among products developed for a healthy lifestyle.

  The Power ofGreen Tea The Chinese have known about the medicinal benefits of green tea since ancient times, using it to treat everything from headaches to depression . Green tea is native to Asia and originates from the tea plant whose scientific name is Camillia sinensis. Green tea’s potent antioxidant power aids in fighting the effects of free radicals on the body. There are substances in nature that can eliminate free radicals and many of them, like tannins, catechins, and flavonoids exist in green tea. Catechin is an especially potent free-radical fighter. Green tea polyphenols have powerful anti-cancer, heart and brain protective, and antibacterial properties as well. The most potent of these, epigallocatechin gallate or EGCG, is present in very high levels in green tea and is vital for the prevention of cancer. Green tea’s antioxidant power is second to none!

  The Power ofGreen Tea (cont.) Weight loss - Research show that green tea helps to regulate hormones, increase energy expenditure, boost metabolism and has been proven to positively impact the body’s rate of fat oxidation. Because the body’s rate of burning calories is only about ten percent of daily energy expenditure, this increase translates into about 40% more calories burned per day. Longevity - Japanese researchers used data from a national study of over 40,000 participants followed over the course of 11 years. Those who drank more than five cups of green tea per day had a lower risk of death from heart disease and stroke. This might explain why the Japanese have the longest lifespans of any people on Earth. Improved memory & cognitive function - Another Japanese study reveals that drinking copious amounts of green tea can improve memory and cognitive function. It may also enhance learning and memory abilities. The use of oxygen during the metabolic process leads to the making of free radicals, which can damage the brain over time. The antioxidants in green tea neutralize these free radicals and inhibit that damage. High cholesterol - Green tea in known to help lower total cholesterol levels and can also improve the ration of HDL to LDL. Studies show that green tea drinkers have much lower cholesterol levels than those who don’t drink green tea daily. It is thought that green tea lowers cholesterol by inhibiting the absorption of lipids by the digestive system, allowing them to be flushed from the body. High blood pressure – Green tea increases the body’s production of nitric oxide which opens up the arteries and aids in reducing blood pressure.
