Green Tea Extract

Green tea extract has become fairly well known for its many health promoting properties.

Green Tea extract has been used in Chinese medicine for over 4500 years. That's a long time in anybody's book and has enjoyed a long history of safety and effectiveness. In fact, green tea extract, the world's most powerful antioxidant, may be up to 200 times stronger than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals! (How about them apples!)

It contains a number of health-promoting polyphenols the most important being epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant which has been the subject of extensive scientific research. (That's why most people just say EGCG.)

Nutrition Information

One cup of green tea provides about 200 mg of polyphenols and its antioxidant properties are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries. (If you don't like vegetables stick with the strawberries or just drink green tea.)

Green tea powdered extracts have been documented to absorb much better into the bloodstream (up to 60%-90% better) and is much more bioavailable than just drinking green tea itself.
