What This Product Is

EGCg provides 225 mg of decaffeinated green tea extract standardized to 98% polyphenols, of which 45% is epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg). EGCg has been identified as the primary active ingredient responsible for green tea’s health-promoting effects. Scientific literature extensively documents the many health benefits of green tea consumption, dating back to 2700 BC.*

While drinking green tea as a whole food provides synergies among its constituent compounds, supplementation can deliver higher levels of tea polyphenols and EGCg than many individuals would obtain through simply consuming tea. An average cup of green tea provides about 200 mg of EGCg, comparable to a single capsule of this product. This formula is guaranteed to contain less than or equal to 0.5% caffeine and to have low fluoride content.*

Mechanism of Action

Polyphenol Antioxidant Activity

EGCg is a potent antioxidant that may support healthy cardiovascular function by protecting against oxidation of cholesterol particles (such as LDL). It may also support brain and central nervous system health by limiting oxidative stress. The 98% polyphenol standardization ensures a concentrated delivery of these protective compounds.*

Fat Metabolism and Appetite Regulation

EGCg helps support efficient fat metabolism, which may benefit weight control efforts. It may also help regulate appetite and support healthy blood glucose and insulin levels, contributing to overall metabolic health.*

Liver Detoxification and Hormone Support

EGCg supports detoxification processes in the liver and may help support healthy testosterone levels, contributing to endocrine balance and metabolic function.*

  • Applications
  • Individuals seeking potent antioxidant support from green tea polyphenols*
  • Those looking to support efficient fat metabolism and healthy weight management*
