Orientin
Orientin is a naturally occurring chemical compound that can be found in Rooibos teas. Orientin has anti-inflammation properties as well as antioxidant properties. Orientin works as an anti-inflammatory for the arteries and also cuts down on the number of adhesion molecules in the blood stream, which is a fancy way of saying reducing plaque in the arteries. All of the things translate to a lower risk of major cardiovascular diseases, heart attack, stroke, and Alzheimer’s. Below is a list of Abe's teas containing high levels of orientin.
