Description

Green tea extract is made from the dried leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant by steaming and cooking the leaves then drying them. Other teas typically involve the fermentation of the leaves before drying. Because Green Tea is not fermented, it has a high polyphenol content. It also contains EGCG (epigallocatechin) which is a compound that can be found in green teas, bananas, and pomegranates. Green tea naturally contains caffeine. This extract contains at least 50% polyphenols. Green tea extract is rich in vitamins and minerals and is loaded with antioxidants. It has anti-inflammatory properties and may help benefit the joints. When taken in conjunction with a healthy diet and exercise, it may help with maintaining a healthy weight. Green tea may support the skin, heart, liver, and immune system, and may aid workout recovery. It may also boost energy, help support the brain, and promote healthy cognitive function.
