Green Tea
Green TeaCommon names:EGCG, Epigallocatechin Gallate- Reliable and relatively consistent scientific data showing a substantial health benefit.
- Contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary studies suggesting a health benefit or minimal health benefit.
- For an herb, supported by traditional use but minimal or no scientific evidence. For a supplement, little scientific support.
Our proprietary "Star-Rating" system was developed to help you easily understand the amount of scientific support behind each supplement in relation to a specific health condition. While there is no way to predict whether a vitamin, mineral, or herb will successfully treat or prevent associated health conditions, our unique ratings tell you how well these supplements are understood by the medical community, and whether studies have found them to be effective for other people.
For over a decade, our team has combed through thousands of research articles published in reputable journals. To help you make educated decisions, and to better understand controversial or confusing supplements, our medical experts have digested the science into these three easy-to-follow ratings. We hope this provides you with a helpful resource to make informed decisions towards your health and well-being.

All teas (green, black, and oolong) are derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The difference is in how the plucked leaves are prepared. Green tea, unlike black and oolong tea, is not fermented, so the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. The leaves of the tea plant are used both as a social and a medicinal beverage.

Comments about Traditional Medicinals® Organic Raspberry Leaf Herbal Tea:
Raspberry leaf tea was recommended to me by friend who swore by it during pregnancy and for labour. I did my research and was doubtful it would do anything for my pregnancy as there is no scientific evidence that it induces labour or shortens the length of it.
I was persuaded to try the tea after finding out the other health benefits on Mindful Mum (http://www.mindfulmum.co.uk/health/2011/does-raspberry-leaf-tea-bring-on-labour/)- lessening bleeding gums and nosebleeds (nightmare!), calming morning sickness (which is has for me but doesn't work for everyone) and lots of vitamins (E, B1 and B3).
Although it won't speed up labour or pregnancy, it's worth taking as a good supplement for vitamins.- Tea Body:

Tastes, looks, and smells like normal tea with a light raspberry taste. It did seem to help with the intensity of cramps, although I continued to take a pain reliever as well.
