the 1950s. We feel that makes us the experts in the
development of the highest quality, best tasting ready

the horizon. Our teas come in a variety of packages to
meet everyone’s needs. So grab a Schneider’s Iced Tea

How Tea Works in the Body
Tea contains flavonoids,
naturally occurring compounds that are believed to have
antioxidant properties.
Antioxidants work to
neutralize free radicals, which scientists believe, over
time, damage elements in the body, such as genetic
material and lipids, and contribute to chronic disease.
Recent research has explored the potential health
attributes of tea through studies in humans and animal
models, and through in vitro laboratory
research. For the most part, studies conducted on Green
and Black Tea, which are both from the Camellia
sinensis plant, have yielded similar results.
Recent research suggests that tea and tea flavonoids may
play important roles in various areas of health and may
operate through a number of different mechanisms still
being explored. Recent findings include:
•
The
antioxidant properties of tea flavonoids may play a role
in reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease by
decreasing lipid oxidation, reducing the instances of
heart attacks and stroke, and may beneficially impact
blood vessel function, an important indicator of
cardiovascular health.
•
Tea
flavonoids may lower the risk of certain cancers by
inhibiting the oxidative changes in DNA from free
radicals and some carcinogens. Tea may also promote
programmed cell death, or apoptosis, and inhibit the
rate of cell division, thereby decreasing the growth of
abnormal cells.
•
Tea-drinking has been associated with oral health and
bone health.
•
Compounds
in tea other than flavonoids have been shown to support
the human immune system.
