Plants are antioxidant-generating machines and, commercially, the biggest return-generating plant extract is green tea. By quite some way if you speak to the biggest suppliers.
There are other plant-based polyphenols, phytochemicals, antioxidants – call them what you will – bilberry, grape seed, ginkgo biloba – but green tea dominates at this stage. About 50% of products launched in 2012 bearing an antioxidant claim contained green tea, according to market analysts.
Tea extracts- especially green tea – are still the first category of extracts used in products bearing an antioxidant claim.
Fruit and superfruit extracts are the second biggest category after green tea with a lot of different types like – in order of importance for us: Acai, pomegranate, apple, citrus extracts,grape, blueberry, goji, mangosteen.
