EGCG Green Tea Extract

EGCG: Epigallocatechin Gallate is a very exciting compound found in green tea. EGCG is being tested in some of top universities of America for its potential cancer disabling abilities. The Japanese who drink green tea daily have known of the benefits of the tea for centuries however it is only now we know of the actual compounds which are effective in the fight against aging and disease. By learning about these compounds it is of course possible to extract them to a much higher potency which actually potentiates the effects on the body.
The most effective dose of EGCG is from 400mg per day to 800mg per day however clinical trials are using up to 1200mg per day.
