Our researchers have developed a method of modifying complex extracts in which components or mixtures of components are selectively removed or added, thus providing a complex mixture that does not naturally occur. The method involves a selective deletion chromatography technique to prepare a composition which has a refined therapeutic effect. The complex extract can be an extract obtained from one or more plants, e.g., an extract obtained from green tea leaves. This method can be used to prepare nutraceutical compositions, pharmaceutical compositions, and compositions for treating various conditions, including physiological dysfunctions associated with elevated reactive oxygen species and/or inflammatory molecule.
