NO (NITRIC OXIDE, ALSO CALLED NITROGEN MONOXIDE) PRODUCTION PROMOTER, ENHANCER OF INSTANTANEOUS FORCE IN MUSCLES OF LOWER EXTREMITY, AND REDUCER OF MUSCLE DAMAGE ASSOCIATED WITH INTENSIVE EXERCISE

摘要

A method of promoting NO-production in a human being includes providing an extract of Kenyan purple tea (scientific name: Camellia sinensis; variety name: TRFK306) containing 1,2-di-O-galloyl-4,6-O-(S)-hexahydroxydiphenoyl-β-D-glucose (GHG). Then, an effective amount of the purple tea extract is administered to a body of a human being in need of NO-production promotion.
