Antioxidants And Health
You already know that Milo’s Tea is the best tasting ready to drink tea on the market. Did you also know that Milo’s Tea is an excellent source of flavonoid antioxidants (87mg / 8 oz. serving)?
Why does Milo’s Tea have so many flavonoid antioxidants? All teas come from the Camellia sinensis bush. Flavonoid antioxidants are naturally present in this plant. This means that flavonoid antioxidants are naturally present in fresh brewed tea like Milo’s Tea. This does not mean that all teas have the same antioxidant values. Compare Milo’s 87 mg of flavonoid antioxidants per serving to only 72 mg of the same antioxidants in green tea products.
Milo’s Tea is different from other beverages because it is All Natural, Fresh Brewed, Contains No Preservatives or No Additives and is High in naturally occurring Antioxidants.
Antioxidants are so powerful because they can help the body protect itself against free radicals- molecules that can damage cells. See what the research and medical communities are saying about fresh brewed teas:
