Health Benefits of Mengding Ganlu Green Tea
A legendary green tea from Mengding Mountain, Sichuan — cherished for over a thousand years.
1. Helps Slow Down Ageing
The tea polyphenols in Mengding Ganlu are powerful antioxidants that neutralise harmful free radicals.
Research shows that 1 mg of tea polyphenols has the same antioxidant effect as 9 μg of SOD, making it
significantly stronger than many similar compounds. Studies also indicate its anti‑ageing effect is
up to 18 times stronger than Vitamin E.
2. Supports Cardiovascular Health
Tea polyphenols help regulate fat metabolism and reduce cholesterol buildup. Catechins such as ECG and EGC,
along with theaflavins, help inhibit plaque formation and improve blood viscosity, contributing to healthier arteries.
3. Helps Prevent and Fight Cancer
Tea polyphenols block the formation of carcinogenic compounds and support the body’s immune response.
Catechins in Mengding Ganlu have shown benefits in reducing the risk of stomach, intestinal, and other cancers.
4. Helps Protect Against Radiation Damage
Tea polyphenols can absorb radioactive substances such as Strontium‑90 and Cobalt‑60. Clinical studies show
that extracts from Mengding Ganlu are effective in reducing radiation‑related symptoms and improving white blood cell levels.
5. Antibacterial and Antiviral Properties
Tea polyphenols have strong antibacterial and antiviral effects. They help relieve inflammation and diarrhoea.
Medical institutions have used Mengding Ganlu preparations to treat dysentery and influenza with high success rates.
6. Supports Skin Health
As a water‑soluble compound, tea polyphenols help cleanse excess oil, tighten pores, and reduce UV‑related skin damage.
They also have natural antibacterial and anti‑ageing effects.
7. Boosts Alertness and Focus
The caffeine in Mengding Ganlu stimulates the central nervous system, enhancing mental clarity, alertness,
and cognitive performance.
8. Helps Reduce Fatigue and Supports Detoxification
Caffeine in the tea stimulates kidney function, increasing urine output and helping the body eliminate toxins.
It also helps remove excess lactic acid, reducing fatigue more quickly.
9. Aids Digestion and Fat Metabolism
Historical texts describe tea as “making one lean when consumed regularly.” Mengding Ganlu promotes digestion,
increases gastric juice secretion, and enhances fat breakdown — supporting healthy weight management.
10. Supports Dental and Eye Health
Mengding Ganlu contains 10–15 mg of fluoride per 100 g of dry tea, most of which is water‑soluble.
Regular consumption helps strengthen teeth and reduce cavities. Its Vitamin C content also helps reduce
lens clouding, supporting long‑term eye health.
