We hear the word "antioxidant" all the time, but not all antioxidants do the same job. If you want results, you need to know which molecule to target.

EGCG: The Green Specialist


Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is the primary antioxidant in Green Tea. It is world-famous for its role in fat metabolism, liver detoxification, and protecting brain cells from aging. If your goal is weight loss or cognitive protection, Green Tea is your best friend.

Anthocyanins: The Purple Powerhouse


Anthocyanins are the pigments in Purple Tea. They are part of the flavonoid family found in blueberries and blackberries. Their specialty is cardiovascular health, skin protection (especially from UV rays), and reducing systemic inflammation. If you are focused on beauty, heart health, or recovery, Purple Tea is the winner.

Did You Know?


You don't have to choose! Drinking a cup of Green Tea in the morning for focus and metabolism, and a cup of Purple Tea in the evening for recovery and heart health, provides the ultimate "Antioxidant Shield."

The Science of Synergy


At mediFRESH, we source teas that have the highest verified levels of both these molecules, ensuring that every sip is as therapeutic as it is delicious.
