What it is
Green tea is made from the leaves of Camellia sinensis, the same plant behind black tea. For green tea, the leaves are heated soon after picking, which keeps them green and keeps many of their natural plant compounds.
Where it comes from
Tea has been grown for thousands of years in China and Japan, and today also in India, Kenya and many other places. The leaves are picked, heated, rolled and dried, then used for brewing or turned into extracts and powders.
Why it is in GlycoReset
GlycoReset lists green tea leaf in its 200 mg blend, where it adds natural antioxidant support.* It sits with other plants such as Panax ginseng. Read Green Tea and Ginseng for the pairing.
