Mega Green Tea Extract EGCG, Decaffeinated: Antioxidant-rich, anti-inflammatory and cardiovascular protective properties for improved brain function, weight management and longevity

Mega Green Tea Extract is a concentrated green tea extract that is rich in antioxidants and other beneficial compounds. This particular version is decaffeinated, which means it contains no caffeine. It supports overall health and longevity, as studies have suggested that green tea and its compounds may help protect against various chronic diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular disease and cognitive decline.

An average cup of green tea contains between 150 mg and 300 mg of polyphenols. Each capsule of this supplement provides 725 mg of green tea extract, standardised to 98% polyphenols. That means you would need to drink about 3 cups of green tea to get the same amount of EGCG as a single capsule of our Mega Green Tea Decaffeinated Green Tea Extract.

Green tea is full of plant compounds called polyphenols, of which EGCG is the most prominent. EGCG possesses abundant health-promoting properties. It supports healthy cell reproduction, metabolic function and cardiovascular health. EGCG also helps protect brain health, benefits immune system function and helps promote a healthy body weight.
 

• Green tea extract Antioxidant activity:

Decaffeinated green tea extract is rich in polyphenols, which are powerful antioxidants that can help protect cells from free radical damage. Free radicals are unstable molecules that can cause oxidative stress, leading to cell damage and contributing to the development of chronic diseases such as cancer, diabetes and heart disease.
 

• Green tea extract and cardiovascular health:

Studies have suggested that decaffeinated green tea extract may help improve blood lipid levels, which may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease. Specifically, green tea extract has been shown to reduce levels of LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides while increasing levels of HDL ("good") cholesterol. In addition, green tea extract may help improve blood vessel function and reduce the risk of blood clots, which can also contribute to cardiovascular disease.
 

• Green tea extract and cognitive function:

Green tea extract contains compounds called catechins, which have been shown to have neuroprotective effects. These compounds may help improve cognitive function and protect against age-related decline in brain function. In addition, green tea extract has been shown to increase alpha wave activity in the brain, which is associated with improved attention and mental alertness.
 

• Green Tea Extract and Weight Management:

Green tea extract contains compounds called catechins, which may help increase metabolism and promote fat oxidation. One study found that daily supplementation with green tea extract resulted in significant reductions in body weight, body mass index and waist circumference over a 12-week period.
 

• Green tea extract and anti-inflammatory effects:

Green tea extract contains compounds called flavonoids, which have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects. Chronic inflammation is thought to be a contributing factor in the development of many chronic diseases, including cancer, diabetes and heart disease. By reducing inflammation, green tea extract can help improve overall health and reduce the risk of these diseases.
