Tea polyphenols possess antioxidant, anti-aging, oxygen free radical–scavenging, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular disease–reducing, and lipid-lowering effects. After ingestion, they reach the gastrointestinal tract and help modulate the gut microbiota ecosystem. As biologically active compounds, tea polyphenols also exhibit detoxifying and anti-radiation properties, effectively contributing to cancer prevention. Moreover, tea polyphenols can effectively supplement vitamin C and promote cellular metabolism throughout the body. Moderate consumption of tea rich in tea polyphenols helps eliminate endogenously generated free radicals, thereby supporting overall health.
