What are Polyphenols?What are Polyphenols?
Powerful antioxidants High concentrations in green tea Tegreen enriched for polyphenol anti-
oxidants, particularly Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg)

New Research by Pharmanex New Research by Pharmanex collaboratorscollaborators
Abnormal cells proliferate and live longer than normal cells
The life of a normal cell is regulated by a natural regulatory mechanism called programmed cell death (apoptosis)
Apoptosis is severely limited in abnormal cells Pharmanex collaborators discovered unique
enzyme (tNOX) in abnormal cells associated with this defect
