Q:  How does SGS reduce the risk of cancer?
 
A:  A complex process, detoxification involves the coordinate stimulation of enzyme inducers with different functions.  Some detoxify free radicals --highly reactive molecules linked to the development of cancer. Other enzymes reduce free radical creation, and some conjugate carcinogens, allowing for more effective and rapid elimination from the body.  In other words, a carcinogen that would normally accumulate in the fat tissues of the body can be conjugated to a molecule whose production is triggered by a chemoprotective enzyme, and become more water-soluble and thus more readily excreted in the urine.

Our quality analysis shows that after steeping the tea for 2 minutes the majority of the SGS is present in the tea. Steeping for longer than 2 minutes will not increase the amount of SGS significantly.
