Green Tea comes from the tea plant, Camellia sinensis, which is an excellent source of potent polyphenols (bioflavonoids with powerful antioxidant properties). The four primary polyphenols in Green Tea are epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, epigallocatechin and epigallocatechin3-gallate (EGCG).

Research has identified EGCG as the most active agent in Green Tea. Green Tea-70 is a unique formula in that it contains the highest percentage of EGCG currently in the market. Each 500mg capsule of Green Tea-70 is standardized to contain 70% or 350 mg of EGCG per 500mg capsule. Most other products provide 35-40% EGCG.

EGCG is an important nutrient that supports a wide range of systems in the body. EGCG supports liver health as well as detoxification and elimination functions. Green Tea may increase the activity of antioxidants and detoxifying enzymes within the small intestine, liver and lungs. EGCG helps to support cholesterol levels within normal ranges and balances the ratios of HDL and LDL cholesterol.

Research has shown that EGCG supports the activity of B-Cells to produce higher antibody response and immune activity of the T-Cells and macrophages. And numerous studies have demonstrated the ability of EGCG to prevent the proliferation and growth of virus cells.

EGCG is shown to support skin health by recycling aged cells and supporting new cell growth. It offers antioxidant support against the free radicals that attack collagen (the skin’s structural protein) and decreases the activity of the enzyme that breaks down collagen to help keep skin firm and healthy. EGCG may also support metabolism due to its thermogenic effect and helps to maintain normal blood insulin levels. EGCG supports the burning of fats and helps control appetite, which helps to support weight loss and weight management.
