Antihypertensive Properties of Green and Black TEA

Apr 08, 2021 | UC Irvine School of Medicine

Geoff Abbott, PhD, speaks on Super Human Radio about the Antihypertensive Properties of Green and Black Tea

A new study from the University of California, Irvine shows that compounds in both green and black tea relax blood vessels by activating ion channel proteins in the blood vessel wall. The discovery helps explain the antihypertensive properties of tea and could lead to the design of new blood pressure-lowering medications.
