 Green tea extract comes from the natural dried leaves of the tea plant, Camellia sinensis. It has been used for thousands of years in China, both as a beverage and a herbal medicine.
The active ingredients in green tea are a family of polyphenols/catechins and flavonols which possess potent antioxidant activity. Several catechins are present in significant quantities, epicatechin (EC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin gallate (ECG) and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG makes up about 10-50% of the total catechin content which seems to be the most powerful antioxidant among the catechins.
Commercially green tea extracts are standardized to total polyphenol content and/or EGCG content. Green tea which possess potent antioxidant activity, provides beneficial health effects by protecting the body from the damaging effects of oxidative damage from free radicals.
