1) Anti-hair loss efficacy (selectively inhibiting 5-alpha reductionase enzyme)
At the University of Chicago in the United States, studies show that among green tea components, epicatechin-3-galate and epigallocatechin-3-galate selectively inhibit 5-alpha reduction enzymes, and catechins extracted from green tea leaves have anti-androgen properties, which are effective in preventing hair loss. Therefore, drinking green tea frequently has the effect of inhibiting the production of DHT, a hormone that causes hair loss, which is good for scalp health.
Therefore, DHT production is inhibited by a mechanism similar to that of Propecia. At this time, the green tea form is most effective in the form of the leaf itself or finely ground in its natural state.
2) Prevention of skin cancer and tightening pores
Green tea is rich in vitamin A, which not only prevents skin cancer but also keeps skin cells or mucosal cells healthy. In case of deficiency, the skin becomes rough, losing its luster and weakening the mucous membrane.
And green tea is rich in tannic acid, so it has excellent convergence and moisture absorption to tighten skin pores. In addition, it has antibacterial and sterilizing power, helping to clean skin. Vitamin A and B contained in green tea keep the skin shiny and are effective in treating acne as they are responsible for moisturizing rough and tired skin.
