Camellia sinensis
Green tea promotes longevity, cardiovascular health, healthy weight management, healthy cellular growth and differentiation, liver health and more. 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. Studies have demonstrated that consuming green tea can help protect skin from ultraviolet light damage, aid in weight loss and reduce the chances of cardiovascular disease, among many other benefits.
