What Are Natural Theaflavins?

Theaflavins are natural polyphenols that are generated during the fermentation of green tea by the enzymatic oxidation of catechins. These bioactive compounds include theaflavin (TF), theaflavin-3-gallate (TF3G) and theaflavin-3,3'-digallate (TFDG) showed more antioxidant activity than the typical EGCG.

It features a unique benzotropolone ring structure which is more useful for cardiovascular system. Theaflavins are stable in acidic environments (pH 2.0-4.0), unlike regular green tea extracts, hence they are perfect for carbonated drinks and liquid supplements.

You will appreciate their reddish brown tint which acts as a natural colourant.  It serves a two-fold purpose: reducing formulation complexity while maintaining clean-label appeal.

Scientifically-Backed Health Applications

Cardiovascular & Metabolic Support

Clinical studies show that 200-400mg of pure theaflavins taken daily may help maintain healthy LDL-cholesterol levels. The chemicals are more potent in interacting with cholesterol-regulating enzymes than simpler polyphenols.

Advanced Antioxidant Activity

Our natural theaflavins showed excellent activity of superoxide radical scavenging. Their high ORAC values preserve lipid soluble nutrients in softgel formulations and prevent oxidative degradation in UHT processed drinks.

Clean-Label Functional Ingredients

Replace artificial preservatives with natural antioxidants. Theaflavins help to preserve product stability without sacrificing your “natural” or “organic” positioning in competitive marketplaces.

Versatile Industrial Applications

B2B Dietary Supplements

Develop high strength cardiovascular pills and softgels with exact ratios of theaflavins. Our extract of Natural Theaflavins is readily compressed and will distribute evenly in lipophilic carriers without clumping.

Functional Beverage Manufacturing

Design RTD teas, sports drinks and energy shots that can withstand pasteurisation. The extract prevents sedimentation in storage and retains the colour integrity under UV.

Nutricosmetic Formulations

Create anti-aging serums and creams with prolonged antioxidant delivery. Theaflavins are easily added to multiphase emulsions and are superior to basic polyphenols for complicated skincare systems.

Aquatic & Livestock Nutrition

Incorporate natural antioxidants in feed compositions to better the animal health parameters. Has water soluble properties to enable equal distribution in feed formulations.

Manufacturing Excellence & Compliance

You get ingredients that have been through pesticide residue removal and plasticiser removal methods. Our partner sites are audited on a quarterly basis by a third party to ensure ongoing GMP compliance.

Quality control in 5 stages is performed for all batches:

  • Confirmation of HPLC ratio
  • Screening for solvent residues (USP <467>)
  • Multi-residue pesticide analysis (MRPA)
  • Heavy Metal Testing by ICP-MS
  • Complete Microbiological Culture

This rigorous attitude ensures traceability from tea plantation to your production line. Documentation packages contain Certificates of Analysis, safety data sheets and regulatory compliance letters.

Why Partner With Fushan Biotechnology?

We have a whole supply chain from cultivation to clinical application assistance. We have a comprehensive database of molecular signalling pathways and over 30 issued patents. We give more than raw ingredients, but formulation methodologies and documentation of scientific proof.

We offer flexible customization:

  • Multi-gradient theaflavin concentrations
  • Low-caffeine or decaffeinated versions
  • Custom particle sizes for encapsulation
  • Private labeling and white-label solutions

Batch-to-batch consistency comes standard. Our quality assurance team pre-validates samples before shipment, eliminating reformulation delays.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do product differ from Green Tea Extract?

Products are fermented derivatives of green tea catechins, featuring a benzotropolone ring that provides distinct cardiovascular benefits and higher stability in acidic liquid applications.

What is the recommended dosage for lipid support?

Clinical trials typically suggest 200-400mg daily of highly purified theaflavins to observe metabolic benefits.

Are products heat-stable during food processing?

Yes, they exhibit thermal stability up to 120°C in short-burst pasteurization. However, avoid prolonged boiling to prevent oxidation.

Do products contain caffeine?

Standard extracts may contain trace amounts, but our high-purity grades undergo specialized chromatography to achieve <0.1% caffeine content.

How should they be stored to prevent degradation?

Store in cool, dry conditions using airtight, light-resistant containers. Stability testing confirms a 24-month shelf life under these conditions.
