Green Tea Extract 90% Standardized EGCG Epigallocatechin Gallate

Green Tea is a rich source of Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) a powerful antioxidant and free radical scavenger with polyphenols and catechins. EGCG supports metabolism, energy for performance, and weight management as well as heart and brain health.

Green tea has been extensively studied and researchers have found its active constituents to be a family of polyphenols called catechins. One catechin in particular, epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCg) has demonstrated extraordinary free radical quenching power in laboratory studies. One capsule of Protocol For Life Balance® EGCg possesses the phytonutrient content equal to about 2-3 cups of green tea. EGCG or epigallocatechin gallate is a powerful antioxidant compound that has been shown to stimulate the immune system and prevent cellular damage caused by free radicals.

Green Tea EGCG- a powerful green tea extract- is a potent source of polyphenols and EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) – two antioxidant compounds that are 25 to 100 times more potent than that of vitamins A, C and E – protecting fragile  cells from destructive free radicals. Antioxidants neutralize harmful oxygen-containing molecules in your body called free radicals and peroxides. Stress, exposure to toxins and even the digestion of certain foods creates free radicals. When left unchecked, free radicals can damage your cell membranes and other vital cell components. Antioxidants found in green tea are vital to slowing and even preventing damage caused by free radicals.

Multiple studies have been published showing that regular consumption of green tea - or of supplements containing the catechins extracted from green tea - may influence energy metabolism, body weight and body fat content*. Research into how the catechins, particularly EGCG, found in green tea benefit weight loss and fat distribution has been conducted in vitro (test tubes), using mice, and finally in clinical trials with humans. All three research techniques have produced results indicating that high doses of catechins can be effective for:

Promoting weight loss

Reducing waist circumference

Improving energy metabolism

Decreasing intra-abdominal fat

Supporting maintenance of lost weight
