According to the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Americans suffer from roughly 1 billion colds per year in the United States alone, which equates to more than one per person, per season. These maladies cause decreased productivity, missed work, missed school, and other headaches -- literally and figuratively. Measures to fight the symptoms range from homemade remedies to over-the-counter drugs. There is no known cure.
A 2007 study in the Journal of the American College of Nutrition looked at the effects of green tea catechins, specifically epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant, on subjects suffering from colds and flu. Over 32% fewer people in the green tea group experienced no cold and flu symptoms compared to the placebo group, and nearly 23% experienced less symptoms lasting fewer days. These results come as no surprise as EGCG and green tea catechins are found to be an inhibitor of common cold adenovirus. Leveraging these and other studies, Plandai's advanced products from Green Tea Extracts can be used to target this ever-present and growing market.
Moreover, Plandai has spent over a decade developing its Phytofare™ Catechin Complex, a green tea-derived botanical extract which has been demonstrated to achieve superior bioavailability -- the amount of a compound that is absorbed into the bloodstream. As a result, users can reduce their consumption of extract and yet still receive tremendous health benefits from the Firm's products. Plandai's Phytofare™ nutriceutical product line is set to be launched in the fourth quarter of 2013. The product's superiority will no doubt benefit top-line revenue and earnings growth especially if used as cold and flu treatment and prevention .
