Tag: Green tea health benefits

Research indicates that compounds within green tea, specifically catechins, have a mild inhibitory effect on blood clotting pathways. However, the notion that green tea is a powerful blood thinner is misleading, particularly for those on anticoagulant medications due to its vitamin K content.

According to scientific literature, green tea's bioactive compounds provide multiple physiological functions, including stimulation. Green tea contains stimulants, most notably caffeine, but also unique compounds like L-theanine that modify its effects for a calmer, more sustained energy boost.
