This product is rich in catechins and EGCg, which studies have shown help protect tissue health, maintain normal metabolic stress, and regulate cell cycles.
Green tea is unfermented and is the most widely consumed type of tea in daily life, characterized by its clear liquid and green leaves. Extensive modern scientific research confirms that green tea indeed contains biochemical components closely related to human health - green tea extract. Green tea extract not only has effects such as invigorating the mind, clearing heat and relieving summer heat, aiding digestion and reducing phlegm, removing grease and promoting weight loss, calming the mind and dispelling worries, detoxifying and sobering up, quenching thirst, reducing internal heat and improving vision, and stopping dysentery and dampness, but it also has certain benefits for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
Studies have confirmed that green tea extract has strong effects in eliminating harmful free radicals, anti-aging, and combating "three highs" (high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high cholesterol).
Compared to Vitamin E, the antioxidant capacity of green tea extract is 20 times that of Vitamin E.
The effective components in green tea extract are called tea polyphenols, of which there are four: Epicatechin, Epigallocatechin gallate (EGC), Epicatechin gallate (ECG), and Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has the highest content, accounting for over 50%.
