Camellia sinensis
This high-potency standardized extract of green tea is high in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCg), which is believed to be the key phytonutrient responsible for green tea’s health benefits.
It contains a small amount of caffeine to optimize its benefits while minimizing any negative effects from caffeine. Green tea catechins help protect plasma and lipoproteins from oxidative damage by increasing blood antioxidant capacity.
