| The active constituents in green tea are
polyphenols, with an antioxidant called
epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) being the most powerful.
The antioxidant activity of EGCG is about 25-100 times more
potent than vitamins C and E.16
One cup of green tea may provide 10-40 mg of polyphenols and
has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of
broccoli, spinach, carrots, or strawberries.
The botanical extract in Mega Green Tea
Extract has been concentrated and dual standardized to
ensure the highest quality, consistency, and biological
activity. Each serving contains a small amount of caffeine
(max. of 3.6 mg). Since one cup of decaffeinated tea
contains at least 9 mg of caffeine, the amount of caffeine
in this supplement will most likely not induce a stimulating
effect. |
