Does amla tea have more antioxidants than green tea?

NGỌC THÙY (THEO indianexpress) |

Amla tea and green tea contain different antioxidants and have separate health benefits.

The antioxidant content of tea depends a lot on how it is prepared, says Garima Goyal, a clinical nutritionist based in Ludhiana, India. Fresh amla and dried amla powder differ in their antioxidant levels. When you make tea, some of the antioxidants contained in amla may not be completely transferred to the water.

Both amla tea and green tea have their own benefits and can be part of a healthy diet, but they differ in terms of the level and type of antioxidants.

Nutritionist Garima Goyal gives some comparisons and reviews between these two drinks:

Antioxidants in amla tea

Amla fruit is known for its very high vitamin C content, many times higher than oranges or lemons. Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant that protects cells from damage caused by free radicals, while supporting the immune system, slowing down the aging process and promoting healthy skin.

In addition to vitamin C, amla contains several flavonoids and polyphenols with powerful antioxidant properties, including ellagic acid and gallic acid. These help reduce inflammation, protect the heart, and have anti-cancer effects.

Antioxidants in green tea

Green tea is notable for its catechins, especially EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), one of the most powerful antioxidants. EGCG not only helps reduce oxidative stress, but also protects cells, aids in weight loss, reduces the risk of heart disease and cancer, and improves brain health.

Comparison of amla tea and green tea

Antioxidant capacity

Green Tea: Catechins, especially EGCG, are widely studied and have extremely powerful antioxidant properties. Green tea has been shown to reduce oxidative stress, protect the heart, and prevent cancer.

Amla Tea: Vitamin C in amla has powerful antioxidant properties that help protect cells from damage, improve skin, boost the immune system, and fight aging. Flavonoids and polyphenols in amla also help reduce inflammation and protect the heart.

Health benefits

Green Tea: Supports heart health, prevents cancer, improves brain function and controls weight.

Amla Tea: Boosts immunity, anti-aging, protects skin, reduces inflammation and supports heart health.

Note

Nutritionist Garima Goyal assessed that green tea may have stronger antioxidant levels thanks to catechins (EGCG), especially in protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease and cancer.

Amla tea is also rich in vitamin C, which helps protect the immune system, fight aging, and has anti-inflammatory effects. The vitamin C content in amla can provide a huge benefit in supporting overall health and improving skin.

If you are looking for a tea to boost your immune system and slow down the aging process, amla tea is a great choice.

However, if your goal is to reduce overall oxidative stress and protect your heart, green tea may be more effective.
