EGCG-50+ green tea extract

EGCG-50+ decaffeinated green tea extract with complex of catechins

Green tea contains the highest percentage of polyphenols of all teas. These polyphenols consist of 6 different catechins. The most important are; epicatechin, epicatechin-3-gallate, epigallocatechin and mainly epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG). EGCG is the most active polyphenol in green tea and the most studied.

Green tea helps protect cells and tissues from oxidative damage¹.

The combination of EGCG with other catechins enhances the protective effect¹ of green tea.

EGCG-50+ is almost fully decaffinated (one capsule contains ≤ 1 mg of caffein).
