Theaflavin-3-gallate is a specialized black tea polyphenol that provides enhanced cardiovascular and metabolic benefits compared to regular theaflavin. This powerful compound, formed during tea fermentation when a gallate group attaches to the theaflavin structure, offers superior antioxidant protection, helps regulate cholesterol and blood sugar levels, provides stronger antimicrobial effects against harmful bacteria, reduces inflammation, and supports digestive health while demonstrating potential anti-cancer properties in preliminary research.
