Green tea polyphenols are members of the flavonoid family. Catechins found in green tea have been shown to provide these health-promoting benefits:131

Catechins are antioxidants with the ability to scavenge reactive oxygen species such as superoxide and the hydroxyl and peroxyl radical132-134
Catechins have fluid stabilizing properties135-137
Green tea may promote weight loss138,139
Green tea can boost the effectiveness of enzymatic phase II detoxification139-144
Catechins appear to help maintain healthy cell proliferation145
Catechins help maintain healthy blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels already within normal range146
And catechins may enhance immune function147,148

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.149 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. This advanced extract contains 98% total polyphenols and 45% epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG).
