In the process of withering, the biochemical changes of tea polyphenols, theanine and carbohydrates are more complicated, but unlike black tea and green tea, the content of the content is irreversible after conversion.

White tea contains 0.1%~0.5% of theaflavins. Old white tea is fully oxidized during long-term storage. In this process, catechins are further converted into theaflavins or thearubicins, which are brought to old white tea.

Theaflavins can not only combine with cholesterol in the intestines to reduce the absorption of cholesterol in food, but also effectively inhibit the body’s own cholesterol synthesis, and Studies have shown that theaflavins help enhance the toughness and elasticity of blood vessel walls, thereby promoting the relaxation of blood vessels, thereby further preventing the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Significantly protect the liver

Theaflavins can effectively inhibit the absorption of high fat and control blood lipids. At the same time, it can reduce blood lipids and accelerate the decomposition and metabolism of fats. At the same time, theaflavins are very good antioxidants, which can reduce and slow alcohol damage to the liver and protect the liver. liver.

Drinking white tea in daily life can not only gradually reduce blood lipids, but also theaflavins can inhibit the body’s absorption of fat. In this way, the human body must replenish blood lipids by breaking down liver fat, and the fat in the liver will gradually decrease over time. Conducive to the removal of liver fat, so theaflavins have a very excellent function of removing fatty liver without side effects, and it is also a kind of protection for the liver.
