Description
Green tea has been consumed as a beverage for centuries. It originated in China and then spread to Japan and the Middle East. Numerous scientific studies have demonstrated the health benefits of green tea. The active components of green tea are known as polyphenols. The polyphenols that demonstrate the most significant biological effects are the catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds have significant biological activity. They work in several ways to improve cardiovascular health, support normal, healthy cell growth, provide antioxidant protection and support a healthy metabolism.*

. Green tea standardized extracts are made for the convenience of taking a capsule rather than drinking several cups of tea.
. Green tea catechins are powerful antioxidants that help neutralize free radicals.*
