Pure Green Tea Extract 50% EGCG Bulk Powder. (250G)
Green tea extracts are abundant in a number of different polyphenols including catechins, which specifically, are derived from the plant Camellia sinensis. Catechins are believed to be stronger antioxidants than Vitamin C. The four main derivatives of catechins present in green tea are epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG is the most abundant of them all, and also acts as a potent antioxidant that can be used for many therapeutic purposes.Flavonoids, including kaempferol, quercetin, and myricetin can also be found in abundance in green tea. Myricetin in particular, is detected in much higher concentration than in extracts of other plants. These substances, together with polyphenols, give green tea its strong antioxidant activity. The polyphenols in green tea extract are capable of eliminating free radicals at a noticeably faster rate. Consuming green tea also boosts levels of superoxide dismultase (SOD) and glutathione dismultase (GSHP) which promote rancidification, the breakdown of fats, oils and lipids by hydrolysis or oxidation.Supplement facts information: Servings per container is based on 500G Bag.
