Rich in polyphenols & other phytonutrients
An average cup of green tea contains about 150 mg to 300 mg of
polyphenols.6 Each capsule of this supplement provides 725 mg
of green tea extract, standardized to 98 percent polyphenols.
That means you'd have to drink about 3 cups of green tea to get
the same number of polyphenols as a single capsule of our
Decaffeinated Mega Green Tea extract.
Green tea health benefits
Protects against oxidation: Green tea polyphenols are capable
of directly neutralizing destructive free radicals and are also
thought to boost the body's own internal oxidative stress
defenses. They've also been shown to inhibit oxidative
stress.7-9
Cellular health support: Green tea supports healthy cellular
proliferation.1 In fact, the green tea polyphenol EGCG has a
remarkably broad array of cellular health benefits, exerting a
positive influence on mitochondrial health, intracellular
signaling pathways, intracellular messengers, transcription
factors, healthy gene expression and more.10
Cholesterol management: green tea, green tea extracts and EGCG
can help maintain already-healthy blood cholesterol, LDL, and
triglyceride levels.11,12
Neuroprotection and Metabolic Health: Green tea and its
polyphenols, including EGCG, help protect nerve cells and nerve
function, have been shown to help preserve metabolic health,
and help maintain already-healthy glucose levels.13-15
