Green Tea Extract

Nature’s Concentrated Wellness Booster

Green tea has been celebrated for centuries for its healing properties. Derived from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, green tea extract offers a concentrated dose of antioxidants. It contains high levels of polyphenols, especially catechins – the most notable being epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a compound with potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Why Do You Need Green Tea Extract?

What sets green tea extract apart is its high concentration of EGCG, a catechin with one of the most powerful antioxidant effects found in nature. It not only fights oxidative stress but also supports metabolism, and brain function – making it stand out in its health benefits. A variety of benefits linked to green tea extract:

A 2019 review of 24 trials involving 1,697 subjects found that green tea or green tea extract supplementation resulted in lower blood pressure levels [1]. This research highlighted the role of Green tea’s catechins in helping to relax blood vessels, reducing blood pressure. Another meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition in 2014 found that consuming green tea for at least three months helped lower both systolic and diastolic blood pressure [2].

A 2023 meta-analysis encompassing over 772,000 participants found that consuming green tea daily was associated with reduction in Chronic heart disease risk [3] .

A PubMed published systematic review of 21 studies, including randomized controlled trials and observational studies, found that green tea consumption positively influences cognitive functions such as memory and attention. The combined effects of caffeine and L-theanine in green tea were particularly note for enhancing working memory and attention [4] .

The antioxidants in green tea extract have been studied for their role in reducing the risk of certain types of cancer, particularly breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. Epidemiological studies have investigated the relationship between green tea consumption and cancer risk. A 2022 Frontier publication reported that higher green tea intake was associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer [5] .

A systematic review and meta-analysis of 55 randomized controlled trials revealed that green tea supplementation significantly influences lipid profiles, blood pressure, and glycemic control. [6] .

EGCG helps lower inflammation, which is a key factor in many chronic diseases.
