Green tea contains many compounds but the primary constituents of interest are the polyphenols, particularly the catechin epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Polyphenols are a class of phytochemicals found in high concentrations in grapes, wine and green tea. All teas (green, black and oolong) are derived from the same plant, Camellia sinensis. The difference between them is how the plucked leaves are prepared. Green tea unlike black tea is not fermented so the active constituents remain unaltered in the herb. You can get the benefits of Green Tea by drinking several cups of the brew each day or by taking it in a convenient, one-a-day tablet format with high levels of polyphenols and catechins. The extract used in our tablets is a premium quality, especially designed to provide a high level of these important compounds. Each tablet is standardised to provide a minimum of 95% polyphenols, ie 323mg of polyphenols, together with 136mg of EGCG - probably the highest grade commercially available as a food supplement.
