Green tea is loaded with health-promoting polyphenols, including  epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant. This antioxidant has been subjected to extensive scientific research, found to be much more potent than vitamins C and E. One cup of green tea provides roughly 200 mg of polyphenols 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 is the equivalent of more than three cups of green tea. This 98% green tea extract is standardised to provide high antioxidant potency, using the most important polyphenol of green tea. Moreover, green tea powdered extracts have been shown to absorb 60%-90% better into the bloodstream and to be far more bioavailable than drinking green tea.

Green tea has been shown to provide many benefits including:

• Scavenging reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and the hydroxyl and peroxyl radical
• Fluid-stabilising properties
• Possibly promoting weight loss
• Boosting the effectiveness of enzymatic phase II detoxification
• Helping maintain healthy cell proliferation
• Helping maintain healthy blood cholesterol, LDL and triglyceride levels already within normal range
• Enhancing immune function
• Displaying protective effects on brain tissues

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