Introduction:

Green Tea Extract comes from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. For centuries, traditional medicine practitioners have used various herbal teas for their reputed medicinal qualities. Archeological records date the use of the plant as a beverage since at least the tenth century B.C. in China. Today, tea is the second most consumed beverage worldwide. Only water is consumed more often than tea. It is estimated that over half of the world’s population uses herbal tea for medicinal purposes. While nothing can keep you young forever, the life-extending properties of Green Tea may effectively delay at least some of the effects of aging.

What’s EGCG?

EGCG is a kind of component extracted from Chinese green tea. It is the primary active and water-soluble component of green tea. It accounts for 9-13% of green tea in net weight. EGCG possesses much stronger antioxidant activities and is vital in preventing cancer and cardiovascular diseases. It is potent as the reversal agent of MDR (Multidrug Resistance). It may improve the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapy drugs and reduce toxicity in the heart.
