Studies have identified a number of different components in Green Tea Extract that may be responsible for its benefits. The most prevalent compounds are polyphenols, of which catechins are the most important. Green Tea Extract capsules contain an average of 40% catechins, and 11% is EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), thought to be the most active and effective of the catechins.
EGCg is a very concentrated green tea extract containing (minimum) 98% Total Polyphenols, 80% Total Catechins, and 50% EGCg, all important antioxidants
All green and black tea is brewed from the leaves of one bush, the camellia sinensis. While black tea leaves are fermented, green tea is steamed and dried right after picking.
This gives it a different composition, including a whole lot more catechin polyphenols, chemicals that act both as an antioxidant and as a metabolism booster. Green tea has about 27% catechins, while black tea has just 4 percent.
