Research / Clinincal Studies on the ingredients in Tava
One of the most important things to understand about Tava Tea, is that it is not simply a blend of great tasting high quality tea's, designed as a refreshing beverage, to substitute your usual supermarket variety. It's much more than that.
The blend used in Tava has been specifically chosen for the individual tea's health and weight loss properties. And below, you'll find the proof to back that up.
Firstly, you need to understand that green tea varieties each have their own collection of natural active chemicals. And it's these chemicals, not the actual 'tea', which have healing and weight loss properties. So it's obviously important to choose tea's with the most active chemicals, to ensure you reap the full benefits.
All tea's are NOT created equal!
A great deal of research has gone into the choice of the 3 varieties of tea in Tava.
For instance, Sencha contains high levels of Catechin, a type of polyphenol and a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants are known to destroy free radicals, which can damage the body at a cellular level, making it far more susceptible to degenerative diseases. It also contains chemicals which burn fat, also preventing fatty deposits collecting in the bloodstream, thereby reducing the risk of heart disease.
Sencha has high levels of Catechin, a type of polyphenol and a powerful antioxidant. Antioxidants destroy free radicals, which can damage the body at the cellular level and make it far more susceptible to cancer, heart disease, and other degenerative diseases.
The main active ingredient in Wu-Long tea is a compound group called polyphenols, which are reported to activate the enzyme responsible for dissolving triglycerides, the bad fats. In a study published in Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, test subjects who consumed wu long were also found to have stronger immune systems and a reduced risk for infections.
Pu-erh tea is traditionally used in China after a greasy or fatty meal. Because it helps fat to digest faster and less bloating, usually associated with a heavy meal is experienced.
The Green tea's in Tava, have been used for 1000's of years for their healing qualities
The Green tea's in Tava, as opposed to the usual household black tea, have indeed been used for 1000's of years for their healing qualities. And although when it was first used to heal, the healers of the day didn't understand why it had an effect, thanks to modern research, we now understand why the active chemicals in green tea have real, powerful benefits, such as:
· Drinking green tea before exercise can help burn fat.
· Green tea can offer a significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels
· Long term green tea drinking is associated with a reduced prevalence of diabetes in an elderly population.
· Green tea prevents fatty liver
· Green tea can offer a reduced risk of cognitive decline
· Green tea can offer a significant reduction in the stress response
· Green Tea reduces stress
· Green is good for the brain
· Green tea expands blood vessels
· Green may help to reduce the risk of stroke
The full research results
Tea may help to reduce the risk of stroke
Recent findings show that drinking 3 or more cups of tea a day may help to reduce the risk of stroke and death from stroke by 21%.
Arab, L., Liu, W. and Elashoff, D. (2009). Green and black tea consumption and risk of stroke. A meta-analysis. Stroke, DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.108.538470.
Long term tea drinking is associated with a reduced prevalence of diabetes in an elderly population.
Analysis revealed that drinking 1 - 2 cups of tea per day was associated with the greatest benefit on blood glucose levels; drinking more provided no further benefit. An increase of one cup per day was associated with a 70% lower likelihood of having diabetes (95% CI 41%-86%), after adjusting for confounding variables.

Long-Term Tea Intake is Associated with Reduced Prevalence of (Type 2) Diabetes Mellitus among Elderly People from Mediterranean Islands: MEDIS Epidemiological Study. Yonsei Med. J. 50(1): 31-
Green tea and cholesterol
In a Taiwanese randomised controlled trial, 78 obese women who took 400mg of green tea extract three times a day for 12 weeks experienced significant reduction in LDL-cholesterol and triglyceride levels, and a simultaneous increase in levels of HDL-cholesterol, and the hormones adiponectin (promotes insulin sensitivity) and ghrelin (modulates hunger).
(Effect of green tea extract on obese women: a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial. Clin Nutr. 2008 Jun;27(3):363-70).
Green tea expands blood vessels
Researchers from Greece tested subjects after they consumed green tea, 125mg of caffeine and 450ml of hot water on three separate occasions. They measured the diameter of the brachial artery in each participant 30, 90 and 120 minutes after they consumed each beverage.
Arterial dilation increased significantly with tea by 3.69%, peaking at 30 min, whereas it did not change significantly with caffeine or water.
(The acute effect of green tea consumption on endothelial function in healthy individuals. Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil. 2008 Jun;15(3):300-5).
Tea is good for the brain
A cohort study of 2501 people from Singapore has found that regular tea consumption is associated with lower risks of cognitive impairment and decline.
The effects were most evident for black (fermented) and oolong (semi-fermented) teas. In contrast, no association between coffee intake and cognitive status was found.
(Tea consumption and cognitive impairment and decline in older Chinese adults. Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Jul;88(1):224-31).
Green tea prevents fatty liver
A US team fed groups of genetically obese and lean mice a diet containing zero, 1%, or 2% green tea extract for six weeks.
At the end of the study, the obese mice fed green tea extract weighed 23-25% less than obese mice fed the non-supplemented diet and the lean mice fed green tea extract weighed 11-20% less those on the non-supplemented diet.
Measurements of circulating levels of the enzymes alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase, which act as markers of liver damage, showed that green tea extract -supplementation was associated with 30-41% and 22-33% lower activities, respectively.
No significant differences were observed in food intake between lean and obese animals in any group, suggesting that green tea extract works by decreasing intestinal fat absorption or altering liver fat metabolism.
(Green tea extract protects leptin-deficient, spontaneously obese mice from hepatic steatosis and injury. J Nutr. 2008 Feb;138(2):323-31).
Drinking green tea before exercise could help burn fat.
In an study, 12 healthy young men took either green tea extract, equivalent to 3.5 cups of tea, or placebo, before taking part in cycling trials. Average fat oxidation rates were 17% higher in the green tea group and the contribution of fat oxidation to total energy expenditure was also significantly higher.
In a second experiment, 11 healthy men took an oral-glucose-tolerance test before and after supplementation with capsules containing either green tea extract or placebo.
Ingestion of green tea extract was found to increase insulin sensitivity by 13%, meaning that it could potentially reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes.
(Green tea extract ingestion, fat oxidation, and glucose tolerance in healthy humans. Am J Clin Nutr. 2008 Mar;87(3):778-84).
Tea reduces stress
A recent human study has found that people who drank tea four times a day, for six weeks, had lower blood cortisol levels and were able to recover more quickly after a stressful event compared with those who drank a placebo beverage.
(The effects of tea on psychophysiological stress responsivity and post-stress recovery: a randomised double-blind trial. Psychopharmacology (Berl). 2007 Jan;190(1):81-9).
In another study volunteers were given theanine (an amino acid found in high proportion in tea leaves), a placebo or nothing, either at the start of a stressful mental arithmetic task, or midway through it.
The results showed that theanine intake resulted in a significant reduction in the stress response (measured via heart rate (HR) and salivary immunoglobulin A (s-IgA)). Analyses of heart rate variability indicated that the reductions in HR and s-IgA were likely to be due to attenuation of sympathetic nervous activation. The authors concluded that oral theanine could mediate anti-stress effects via inhibition of cortical neuronal excitation in the brain.
(L-Theanine reduces psychological and physiological stress responses. Biol Psychol. 2007 Jan;74(1):39-45).
Green tea and cognitive decline
According to a study of more than 1000 Japanese adults in their 70s, drinking green tea regularly seems to be connected to a reduced risk of cognitive decline.
People drinking two or more cups of green tea a day, were half as likely to show signs of cognitive impairment as those who drank three cups or less a week.
Even though the study wasn’t able to show a clear connection between drinking green tea and maintaining mental acuity, it may help explain why there is less dementia, especially Alzheimer’s disease, in Japan compared to Europe and North America.
