Green Tea Extract Polyphenol EGCG Powder

Product Description

What is Green Tea Extract?

Green tea extract powder is a premium supplement extracted from tea leaves. It contains 98% tea polyphenols, specifically EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), which helps neutralize free radicals, supporting overall health by protecting cells from damage and slowing the aging process. Currently in high demand among consumers seeking natural solutions for weight loss, boosting metabolism and improving the appearance of skin, it is widely used in the health and beauty industry and is also gaining popularity in the dietary supplement market.

Green Tea Polyphenols

Green tea, derived from the Camellia sinensis plant, is an abundant source of bioactive compounds known as polyphenols. Among these, catechins such as epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) are the most concentrated and extensively researched for their beneficial effects on skin health. These natural antioxidants neutralize harmful free radicals, supporting skin’s defense against environmental damage.

Polyphenols protect the skin primarily through their antioxidant properties, scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS) generated by ultraviolet radiation (UVR). This reduces oxidative stress, DNA damage, and inflammation, which are major contributors to premature aging, immunosuppression, and skin carcinogenesis. Both topical application and oral consumption of green tea polyphenols have demonstrated the ability to enhance DNA repair, diminish inflammatory responses, and inhibit pathways responsible for UV-induced skin damage.

EGCG

Epigallocatechin Gallate Powder (EGCG) is the most biologically active catechin in green tea (Camellia sinensis), renowned for its potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, extensively studied for metabolic, neuroprotective, and cellular health benefits.

The green tea raw materials used by Green Spring are made from the new leaves or sprouts of the tea tree without fermentation, so most of the natural substances of the fresh leaves are retained. The annual output of raw materials is about 100,000 tons. The process we use is leaching with water, and drying the leachate to obtain our EGCG extraction powder, thus avoiding the problem of solvent residue. Our EGCG extract powder is a dark brown powder, which contains more than 98% tea polyphenols, more than 70% catechins, and other beneficial ingredients such as amino acids.

Our products have good solubility and can be easily dissolved in liquids, such as water, juice, or other food and beverages. In addition, the product has good stability and can be stored for a long time under appropriate storage conditions and maintain the quality and efficacy of its active ingredients.

Benefits Of Green Tea Extract

1. Aids weight loss
Green tea extract contains both caffeine and catechins — a type of antioxidant also found in chocolate, red wine, and many fruits. This combination can help your body burn more calories and boost your metabolism, which can lead to weight loss.

Green tea also contains some caffeine, but lower levels than coffee, meaning it can help boost your energy without the ill effects of too much coffee.

2. Reduces cancer risk
The polyphenols in green tea ― known as EGCG, EGC, ECG, and EC ― have been shown to both inhibit tumor growth and promote the death of existing cancer cells.

The antioxidants found in green tea extract may help balance your cell production, protecting you from producing dysfunctional cells before they can turn cancerous. Various studies support findings that those who drink green tea or take it in a supplement form have a lower risk of developing cancer.

3. Kills unwanted bacteria
Green tea extract can help fight harmful bacteria and protect you from viruses and infections.

The catechins in green tea extract are also said to improve dental health. This helps decrease your chances of getting cavities or tooth decay. You’ll be left with fresher breath, and maybe even less time spent in the dental chair!

4. Improves mental function
The caffeine in green tea acts as a stimulant, but its ability to make you feel more alert extends even farther. According to research published in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition, due to the combination of caffeine and the amino acid L-theanine, green tea can actually improve brain function and mental alertness.

Taking green tea extract may also provide long-term cognitive benefits. Green tea’s ability to combat oxidative stress and reduce inflammation may help protect against Alzheimer’s, dementia, and Parkinson’s disease.

5. Improves heart health
Studies have shown that green tea can help lower cholesterol, thereby reducing the risk of cardiovascular disease.

One particular study examined the effects of green tea extract on a group of patients who were both overweight and had high blood pressure. Participants took 379 mg of green tea extract in capsule form every day for 3 months. At the end of the study, patients saw improvements in blood pressure, insulin resistance, inflammation, and oxidative stress.

6. Promotes clearer skin
Green tea extract can also aid in keeping your skin clear and blemish free.

Skin problems such as dermatitis, warts, acne, and rosacea may be reduced by applying green tea extract directly to the skin. Some shampoos, face creams, and face masks now contain green tea extract as a key ingredient.

When taken as a supplement, green may also help your skin retain its elasticity and youthful appearance by combatting the effects of free radicals.

7. Helps control diabetes
Type 2 diabetes affects many adults and children worldwide. Green tea extract may naturally help regulate blood sugar levels and even lower the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Does green tea have high polyphenol content?

Yes, green tea is exceptionally rich in green tea polyphenols, which are natural compounds known for their powerful antioxidant effects. Among these, catechins stand out, with epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) being the most abundant and well-studied catechin, constituting approximately 59% of the total catechins in green tea.

What types of polyphenols are found in green tea?

Green tea’s polyphenols mainly belong to the flavonoid class, featuring catechins such as EGCG, epicatechin, epicatechin gallate, and epigallocatechin. EGCG is particularly notable for its ability to scavenge free radicals, reduce oxidative stress, and modulate inflammation in the skin, contributing to its skin-protective and anti-aging properties.

How does green tea compare with other teas in polyphenol content?

Green tea undergoes minimal processing compared to black and oolong teas, which results in a significantly higher retention of polyphenols. While green tea contains about 30% polyphenols by dry weight, black and oolong teas have lower levels due to oxidation during fermentation. This makes green tea the superior choice for maximizing the intake of beneficial catechins like EGCG.
