Abstract

Abstract: There are thousands year of history for drinking tea in China and the world. The benefits of drinking tea to human health are well known and confirmed by a large of pharmocological results and experiments. The most effective components in tea are catechins. The various health and pharmacological functions of tea catechins in sum as tri-anti-effects (anti-cancer, anti-aging and antioxidative effects), tri-hypo-effects (hypoglycemic, hypolipaemic and hypotensive effects) and tri-de-effects(disinfected, dephlogisticated and deodorized effects) of the tea catechins are systematically reviewed in this paper.

Key words: catechins, pharmacological functions, tri-anti-effects, trihypo-effects, tri-de-effects
