Abstract
A method of promoting NO-production in a human being includes providing an extract of Kenyan purple tea (scientific name: Camellia sinensis; variety name: TRFK306) containing 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose (GHG). Then, an effective amount of the purple tea extract is administered to a body of a human being in need of NO-production promotion.
Claims6
A method of promoting NO-production in a human being, comprising:
- a) providing an extract of Kenyan purple tea (scientific name:
- Camellia sinensis;
- variety name:
- TRFK306) containing 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose (hereinafter referred to as OHO);
- and
- (b) administering an effective amount of the purple-tea extract to a body of a human being in need of NO-production promotion.
A method for improving muscle-instantaneous force in lower extremity muscles of human beings, comprising:
- a) providing an extract of Kenyan purple tea (scientific name:
- Camellia sinensis;
- variety name:
- TRFK306) containing 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose (hereinafter referred to as OHO);
- and
- (b) administering an effective amount of the purple-tea extract to a human being (at least prior to the human being engaging in lower extremity exercises) to improve the instantaneous force in the lower-extremity muscles of the human being.
A method for reducing muscle damage in a human being, comprising:
- a) providing an extract of Kenyan purple tea (scientific name:
- Camellia sinensis;
- variety name:
- TRFK306) containing 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose (hereinafter referred to as OHO);
- and
- (b) administering an effective amount of the purple-tea extract to a human being at least prior to the human being engaging in intensive exercises to reduce muscle damage associated with the intensive exercise of the human being.
