It’s no secret that keeping stress at a minimum is essential to overall well-being, particularly in keeping your immune system efficiently harmonized in order to protect you from viral and other infections. Exactly how stress impacts the immune system is also well known. According to the Cleveland Clinic,
In short spurts, cortisol can boost your immunity by limiting inflammation. But over time, your body can get used to having too much cortisol in your blood. And this opens the door for more inflammation, Dr. Calabrese says.
In addition, stress decreases the body’s lymphocytes — the white blood cells that help fight off infection. The lower your lymphocyte level, the more at risk you are for viruses, including the common cold and cold sores.
Further, long-term, high cortisol levels leads to chronic autoimmune disorders for many people. So the simple answer is to be less stressed, which is practically impossible under our current conditions. That being the case, it’s more essential than ever that we manage our food and lifestyle such that supports the debilitating impacts of stress on your body. That includes proper supplementation. But what and who to trust? That’s where our Chi Tea line of green tea extract products come in, which are concentrated in powerful anti inflammatory, antiviral and antioxidant compounds, and well researched and published by the National Institutes of Health.
According to the American Society for Nutrition,
Green tea contains a high concentration of polyphenols, most of which are flavanols. Flavanols are commonly known as catechins, the most active catechin being epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).1 Within the world of nutrition, green tea is consistently touted as a beverage with a plethora of health benefits. These benefits are far-reaching and specific roles of green tea have been identified to improve symptoms or reverse disease damage amongst people with autoimmune disease, heart disease, cancer, liver disorders, smoking complications, chronic inflammation, and more.
When it comes to EGCG, you won’t find a more potent form of green tea than our Chi Tea line of standardized, liquid extracts. Our two levels of support provide immune balancing and detoxifying benefits required to combat the harmful effects of stress.
Chi Tea Ultimate Green Tea
While brewed green tea leaf offers between 30-45% EGCG, our Chi Tea delivers as much as 62% EGCG, with more consistent potency as a standardized, liquid extract. Additionally, Chi Tea is fortified with powerful botanicals. And Chi Tea is so concentrated, one dropperful provides the antioxidant equivalent of 10-15 cups of brewed green tea.
Chi-Tox Tea
Chi-Tox Tea – a standardized, liquid extract – has been scientifically formulated so that all of its ingredients synergistically work at detoxifying the liver’s brilliantly designed filtration system. Formulated with our green tea as a base, Chi-Tox is further enhanced with medicinal mushrooms, lycium (goji berry), schisandra, milk thistle, skullcap, and licorice.

These days it’s wise to do whatever we can to keep our immune systems fine tuned. Beyond taking care of personal sanitation, getting enough rest, and keeping our stress in check, it’s essential we incorporate potent antiviral supplements into our daily routine. That’s where our Chi Tea Immune Super Pack comes in.
Featuring our Ultimate Green Tea and Chi-Tox extracts, Chi Tea Immune Super Pack is super-charged with proven antiviral compounds. According to the National Institutes of Health, “Of all catechins present in green tea, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is most powerful in preventing viral transmission.”
