Reading on HIVandHEpatitis.com website, it shows that patients drinking green tea have shown positive response to slow down the development of liver fibrosis among patients with Hepatitis, especially Hepatitis C.

The American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases' (AASLD) annual meeting on October this year has shown preclinical trial studies and observations which shows how green tea components (polyphenols) can act as anti-fibrotic agent for patients with chronic hepatitis C infection.

The anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidant properties of green tea polyphenols provides a substantial clues that it will soon be explored to extract substances that will help patients with hepatitis infections to avoid liver damage and collapse. More information at HIVandHEpatitis.com.
