EGCG 60vcap - Health Projects

Powerful antioxidant

EGCg (gallocatechin gallate) from Designs for Health is a key active component of green tea leaves (Camellia sinensis). It is valued for its antioxidant properties and has been extensively studied for weight loss by promoting fat metabolism and for its role in supporting overall health.

Green tea consumption has been documented since 2700 BC, and scientific literature abounds on the many health benefits of regular green tea consumption. EGCg, short for epigallocatechin-3-gallate, has been identified as the main active ingredient responsible for green tea's health-promoting effects.

Although drinking green tea as a whole food may have synergies between its constituent compounds, tea polyphenols and EGCg may be beneficial in supplemental form.

Supplementation can provide the body with higher levels of these components than many individuals would be able to obtain simply by consuming tea.

For this reason, as well as for quality and effectiveness, standardized extracts can be especially useful, as they guarantee a potent amount of the desired active component.

An average cup of green tea typically contains 5 mg of dried green tea leaves, which provide about 200 mg of EGCg. Each capsule of the supplement contains 225 mg of decaffeinated green tea extract, standardized to 98% polyphenols, of which 45% is EGCg.

This product is not only an excellent choice because of its high amount of EGCg, but also because it is guaranteed to contain less than or equal to 0.5% caffeine and is low in fluoride.
