Abstract

This review summarized the recent researches on the bioactivity of theaflavin-3,3’-digallate (TFDG) and its action mechanisms, including anti-oxidation, anti-cancer, anti-inflammatory, anti-viral as well as anti-metabolic syndrome. Meanwhile, the perspective of such research was discussed, so as to promote the further studies of red tea resources and the exploitation of health products.
