Mega Green Tea With Coffeegenic Green Coffee Extract 60 veg capsules

During the past decade, green tea has received attention for its role in promoting healthy body weight. Its principal polyphenolic component, epigallocatechin-3-gallate or EGCG, works via multiple mechanisms, supporting healthy glucose absorption and insulin levels already within normal range. It may also promote a healthy resting metabolic rate.1,2

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate is a powerful antioxidant which has been the subject of extensive scientific research. The antioxidant activity of EGCG is about 25-100 times that of vitamins C and E.3 One cup of green tea provides roughly 200 mg of polyphenols4 and has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.

One capsule of Life Extension's Mega Green Tea Extract provides more polyphenols than you get from drinking three cups of green tea. This 98% green tea extract (lightly caffeinated) is standardized to provide high potency EGCG, by far the most important polyphenol green tea provides. And green tea powdered extracts have been shown to absorb 60%-90% better into the bloodstream5 and to be far more bioavailable than drinking green tea itself.

Green tea has been shown to provide many benefits including:

• Scavenging reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and the hydroxyl and peroxyl radical6-10
• Fluid-stabilizing properties11-14
• Possibly promoting weight loss15-18
• Boosting the effectiveness of enzymatic phase II detoxification19-25
• Helping maintain healthy cell proliferation26-33
• Helping maintain healthy blood cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels already within normal range34-39
• Enhancing immune function40-47
• Displaying protective effects on brain tissues48-50

Mega Green Tea Extract has been concentrated and dual standardized to ensure the highest quality, consistency and biological activity. This advanced extract contains 98% total polyphenols and 45% epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
