Green tea’s timeless health benefits can be traced to its naturally occurring bioactive compounds called polyphenols. One abundant type of polyphenol in green tea is called catechins. Catechins are known to exhibit potent free radical neutralizing properties. The major catechin in green tea leaves is called EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) and is considered to be green tea’s key active component. It is also valued for its active antioxidant properties.
EGCG offers many benefits for overall health and well-being. It has been studied extensively for its benefits in weight maintenance through promotion of fat metabolism. Thus, it plays an important role in supporting overall health and wellness. EGCG has also been scientifically shown to assist in maintaining healthy tissues during normal metabolic stress.
