Source Naturals Green Tea Extract 500mg, 60 Tablets (Pack of 2) From the manufacturer OUR STORY: Leaders of the Wellness Revolution Our story began in 1982 with CEO Ira Goldberg’s vision for revolutionizing the way we think and act about our health. The Western healthcare model was focused almost entirely on treating (rather than preventing) disease. And the concept of supporting and nurturing the body as a system designed for wellness wasn’t widely known. More than 30 years ago, we set out to help people understand how their body systems work in harmony to achieve healthy balance. Your well-being is our highest priority. We invite you to join our wellness community today.

EGCG has been found in scientific studies to be a potent antioxidant. Suggested Use: 2 tablets daily. If stomach discomfort occurs, take with food. The Science of Green Tea All teas contain polyphenols, which are chemical compounds that act as antioxidants. In green tea the main polyphenols are the catechins, including gallocatechin (GC), epigallocatechin (EGC), epicatechin (EC), and epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). Studies have shown that these catechins are the beneficial, health promoting components of green tea, especially EGCG, a proven powerful antioxidant. Health Benefits Catechins have significant antioxidant power and may prove to be heart healthy agents in combating lipid peroxidation within the cell membranes that line arterial walls. Antioxidants neutralize destructive free radicals and support cardiovascular health by preventing the oxidation of cholesterol. Oxidized cholesterol is an unstable molecule that damages the integrity of arteries. Research shows that EGCG is a much more potent antioxidant than vitamin C or vitamin E. The catechins in green tea have been shown to fight ,foreign organisms and help prevent the plaque buildup that leads to poor dental health.Research shows that green tea also promotes healthy glucose levels in the blood stream by enhancing the action of insulin.
