Green Tea & EGCG: A Polyphenol Powerhouse
Green tea is one of the most consumed beverages in the world, and for good reason. It is packed with powerful polyphenol antioxidants called catechins, the most famous of which is Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). EGCG has been shown to have a wide range of health benefits. It can modestly boost metabolism, improve insulin sensitivity, and support cardiovascular health by lowering LDL cholesterol. It also has neuroprotective effects, and regular consumption is associated with a lower risk of cognitive decline. Green tea provides a mild source of caffeine for focus, along with L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes a state of calm alertness.
