Purple tea extract – P (210701) Japan patent: 6933781, 6227851 US patent: 11478495 (Alluvia®)
Purple tea extract is a unique tea variety rich in anthocyanins, catechins, and polyphenols, offering potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and metabolic health benefits. Derived from a special cultivar of Camellia sinensis, this tea is known for its distinctive purple hue and enhanced bioactive compounds, making it a valuable ingredient for cardiovascular health, weight management, and cognitive support.
What is Purple Tea Extract?
Purple tea (Camellia sinensis) is a rare tea variety cultivated mainly in high-altitude regions of Kenya and select parts of Asia. It contains higher anthocyanin levels than green or black tea, providing superior antioxidant protection. These compounds contribute to cellular protection, reduced oxidative stress, and enhanced metabolic function.
Purple tea extract is patented in Japan (6933781, 6227851) and the United States (11478495) for its unique composition and health-enhancing properties.
Health Benefits of Purple Tea Extract
- Potent Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Properties
Rich in anthocyanins and catechins, purple tea extract combats oxidative stress and inflammation, protecting cells from premature aging and disease-related damage. - Supports Cardiovascular Health
Purple tea helps reduce LDL (bad) cholesterol, increase HDL (good) cholesterol, and regulate blood pressure, contributing to better heart health and circulation. - Aids in Weight Management and Fat Metabolism
Research suggests that purple tea extract enhances fat metabolism and reduces fat accumulation, making it beneficial for weight control and obesity management. - Enhances Cognitive Function and Brain Health
The high polyphenol and anthocyanin content in purple tea supports brain function, memory retention, and neuroprotection, potentially lowering the risk of cognitive decline and neurodegenerative diseases. - Improves Skin Health and Anti-Aging Benefits
The antioxidants in purple tea protect skin cells from oxidative stress, improving skin elasticity, hydration, and reducing fine lines and wrinkles.
Patent-Specific Benefits
The Japan (6933781, 6227851) and U.S. (11478495) patents cover a specialized extraction process that enhances the bioavailability and stability of purple tea’s active compounds. This patented technology ensures:
- Higher antioxidant retention for better cellular protection.
- Improved absorption and efficacy in metabolic and cardiovascular functions.
