Many teas are known to contain anti-oxidants which fend off cancer causing \u201cfree radicals\u201d in our bodies.<\/p>\n
In studies of Guayusa, this tea has been found to contain 50% more anti-oxidants than green tea with the second highest ORAC score of any other food product tested. Tests have also shown Guayusa to contain 90 mg of caffeine\/ 8oz cup making it the second most caffeinated plant on earth next to coffee but with many more health benefits. One of the most important findings of this study was the synergistic effects of Guayusa\u2019s unique blend of Theobromine (also found in high quantities in dark chocolate), Theophyline, vitamins C and D, essential minerals Potassium, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, Chormium, caffeine and all 15 essential amino acids (most importantly Leucine, which is not synthesized in our bodies and is needed to repair and build muscle tissue).<\/p>\n
