Product Detail: Thea-Stat (Revised), Douglas Labs
 |
|
 Thea-Stat®, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a unique, patent-pending, theaflavin-enriched tea extract clinically studied for its ability to support the body’s normal metabolism of cholesterol.
Tea is derived from the plant Camellia sinensis, and
has been used for many centuries as a popular
beverage worldwide. Interestingly, green and black
tea are made from the same plant, with black tea
being created via the oxidation of green tea leaves.
Both forms of tea are a rich source of flavonoids, a
class of phytochemicals that are potent antioxidants
and support immune function and cardiovascular
health. Most recently, there has been an increased focus on
studying the ability of tea to beneficially modulate
cholesterol levels. Observational studies in humans
as well as studies in animals indicate that the
consumption of green and black tea may provide
favorable outcomes for blood lipid profiles and it is
proposed that theaflavins may play an important role.
Thea-Stat is standardized to contain 20%
theaflavins and 40% catechins, and is made via a
special manufacturing process in which green tea
leaves undergo a controlled fermentation.
This unique fermentation process that
allows for the formation of theaflavins also allows for
the retention a significant portion of the catechins
found in green tea. The resulting extract, which is
high in both theaflavins as well as catechins was
tested in a clinical trial involving 240 men and
women for its ability to lower cholesterol. After 12
weeks, significant reductions in total cholesterol
(11.3%) and LDL cholesterol (16.4%) were observed
compared with a placebo. No adverse effects were
reported. This may be the first well-documented
human trial to demonstrate an LDL-lowering ability
of a tea extract. Thea-Stat has been extensively
tested and has been shown to be free of pesticides.
INDICATION
Thea-Stat may be a useful dietary supplement for
individuals wishing to support cholesterol
metabolism.
