WHY GREEN TEA EXTRACT AS A DIETARY SUPPLEMENT?
EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) is a catechin, a plant compound found in various plant sources, particularly green tea. As the most abundant catechin in green tea, EGCG contributes significantly to the beverage’s unique properties.
EGCG is a flavonoid, a group of compounds known for their antioxidant properties. It possesses a specific molecular structure that contributes to its biological activity. Besides green tea, EGCG is also found in other plant sources, albeit at lower concentrations.
EGCG is the subject of scientific research because of its properties and potential applications. Its activity and role in various biological processes are the focus. As research progresses, a deeper understanding of EGCG’s characteristics and potential benefits is emerging.
Although the academic and clinical findings regarding its potential are numerous (over 7,500 published studies listed on PubMed ) and many of them are often excellent, supporting its traditional use, in line with European regulations, these findings cannot be addressed here.
