Wu Y.J., 2024, Tea oil and their role in human health: a meta-analysis, Bioscience Evidence, 14(6): 250-259 (doi: 10.5376/be.2024.14.0026)

The primary goal of this study is to evaluate the health benefits of tea oil, focusing on its potential therapeutic effects and mechanisms of action in human health. The analysis revealed several key findings. Tea oil, rich in unsaturated fatty acids and bioactive compounds such as catechins and tea polyphenols, exhibits significant antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and lipid-lowering properties. Studies have shown that tea oil can improve glucose and lipid levels, and modulate gut microbiota in diabetic models. Additionally, tea oil has demonstrated potential neuroprotective effects through its anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory actions. Clinical trials and observational studies suggest that regular consumption of tea oil may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases and improve metabolic health. The findings of this study suggest that tea oil holds considerable promise as a natural therapeutic agent for various health conditions, including cardiovascular diseases, diabetes, and neuroinflammation. Further high-quality clinical trials are needed to substantiate these benefits and elucidate the underlying mechanisms.
