Green tea is known as one of the most beneficial beverages in the world due to the powerful compound it contains called Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) as well as polyphenols. This potent antioxidant compound has been shown to stimulate the immune system and prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals and peroxides. The ECGC compound also functions to inhibit the enzyme NNMT, which is responsible for adding methyl groups to nicotinamide. Consequently, this inhibition results in a reduced utilization of methyl groups for the methylation of nicotinamide

As we age, there is an increase in CD38 an inflammatory enzyme. CD38 is a multi-faceted ecto-enzyme that metabolizes NAD+ which further reduced your NAD+ levels in the body, causing us to succumb to aging related conditions. As a multi-targeted approach, we have included green tea extract into Boost+ as green tea extract acts as a methylating enzyme to inhibit the CD38 enzyme and further boost the NAD+ levels in the body.

Green tea extract has also been shown to stimulate NRF2 pathways. NRF2 is the main regulator or redox balance in cellular detox responses, and it stimulates your cellular defense mechanism. NRF2 blocks oxidative stress and production of reaction oxygen specie. Conversely, the NRF2 pathway helps to decrease inflammation and rids the body of carcinogens and activates 200 genes that fight oxidative stress. Activating the NRF2 pathway leads to more vibrancy and less inflammation.
