GuavaDNA Guava Leaf Tea is made using the young leaves of the guava tree and can be brewed to make a tea that's been part of traditional medicine for centuries in Asia, Mexico, parts of South America, and West Africa. The Guava tree is native to tropical regions, and guava leaves contain natural compounds that modern science recognizes for several potentially significant health benefits.

Intestinal Support
Guava leaves contain natural phytochemicals, including several antioxidants called carotenoids and anthocyanins, and others called flavonoids. Some of its compounds may have natural antibiotic activity that helps kill pathogens responsible for diarrhea, according to laboratory research published in 2008 in "Revista Do Instituto de Medicina Tropical de Sao Paulo" a Spanish-language publication. The authors found that extracts of guava leaves effectively killed types of bacteria that can cause infectious diarrhea. Several small clinical studies support this benefit of guava leaves, including one published in 2000 in the "Chinese Journal of Integrated Traditional and Western Medicine" in which human subjects given guava leaf extract recovered more quickly from infectious diarrhea than those not given the extract.

Cardiovascular Support

Compounds in the Guava leaves may help reduce blood pressure and heart rate, according to a laboratory study published in 2005 in "Methods and Findings in Experimental and Clinical Pharmacology" which found that laboratory animals with high blood pressure fed guava leaf extract had reduced blood pressure and heart rates, compared to a control group. Drinking guava leaf tea might also improve blood lipids, according to several small clinical studies reviewed in a 2010 paper in "Nutrition and Metabolism" that found guava leaf extracts may help lower blood cholesterol and unhealthy triglycerides in human subjects.
