» What is EGCg?
EGCg or Epigallocatechin gallate is an extract of green tea. EGCg contains many beneficial compounds such as Polyphenols and Catechins and is particularly rich in phytonutrients. Each 200mg serving contains as many phytonutrients as 2-3 cups of green tea.
It is thought that drinking green tea daily can help maintain health. EGCg is thought to be responsible for many of its beneficial effects. However you can never be sure of how much EGCg is actually present in each cup of green tea. It is thought that a typical cup will contain 100mg of EGCg, however, this can vary dependant on the quality of the tea, its preparation, and storage. For this reason it is often easier to supplement with EGCg capsules so you can be sure of the amount consumed.
