Green tea (Camellia sinensis) is remarkably high in polyphenols, which protect your body from the damaging effects of free radicals.†

It’s popular for its array of antioxidant properties and health effects.†

Epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a key catechin within green tea, possesses potent antioxidant properties.†

It shields cells from oxidative stress damage and protects cell integrity. †

Complete Catechin Profile for Broad-Spectrum Benefits

LIPO EGCG Green Tea delivers all eight catechins naturally found in green tea, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), recognized for its potent antioxidant properties. By providing a full catechin profile, you are taking advantage of the entourage effect, where the bioactive molecules that are naturally present together in the plant remain together in the final formula, emulating and amplifying the green tea experience.

Potent Antioxidant and Anti-Inflammatory Support

Green tea catechins, particularly epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), are known for their potent antioxidant properties, which help to protect cellular structures by neutralizing free radicals—unstable molecules that can damage cellular components such as proteins, lipids, and DNA. By scavenging these reactive oxygen species (ROS), EGCG protects against oxidative stress, which is often linked to DNA damage and cellular aging. (3)

On a molecular level, EGCG and other catechins influence transcription factors involved in inflammation, including nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-kB). NF-kB is a protein complex that regulates the expression of various pro-inflammatory genes. Catechins appear to inhibit NF-kB activation by modulating upstream signaling pathways, minimizing the overexpression of inflammatory cytokines and chemokines. This mechanism of action contributes to a balanced inflammatory response, which is necessary for cellular resilience and may additionally protect against the impact of oxidative stress over time.

Studies also indicate that catechins may support the body’s own antioxidant
enzyme systems, such as glutathione peroxidase and superoxide dismutase,
further reinforcing the body’s defense against oxidative stress and inflammation.

Brain Health and Cognitive Support

The neuroprotective potential of green tea catechins is an exciting development for those who are concerned about protecting their brain health as they age. EGCG and other catechins are believed to cross the blood-brain barrier, enabling them to interact directly with neuronal cells.
Research suggests that catechins support brain health through several mechanisms, including the modulation of neuroinflammation, the promotion of neurogenesis (the growth of new neurons), and the protection of synaptic plasticity, which is vital for memory and learning. (4)

Catechins have also been shown to modulate specific cell-signaling pathways, such as the PI3K/Akt pathway, which plays a role in neuron survival and function. By triggering these pathways, EGCG may support the brain's natural regenerative processes. Additionally, catechins appear to protect
against the aggregation of beta-amyloid proteins, which are associated with age-related cognitive decline. Through these combined mechanisms, green tea catechins may help support cognitive function, mood stability, and overall brain health.

Heart and Metabolic Health

Green tea catechins, particularly EGCG, may be supportive to cardiovascular and metabolic health through their influence on cholesterol levels, blood sugar, and insulin sensitivity. EGCG has been observed to protect against the oxidation of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) particles. Oxidized LDL is a risk factor for cardiovascular conditions as it contributes to arterial plaque formation. By protecting LDL from oxidative damage, catechins help to maintain arterial health and support balanced cholesterol levels. (5)

Additionally, catechins support metabolic health by influencing glucose metabolism. Research has shown that catechins can help to maintain normal insulin sensitivity, which may help regulate blood sugar levels. Mechanistically, catechins are thought to activate AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), a key enzyme in cellular energy homeostasis. AMPK activation promotes glucose uptake in cells and enhances fatty acid oxidation, which together support stable blood sugar levels and metabolic function. Some studies suggest that these effects may also contribute to body composition
management. (6, 7)

Sourced from High-Altitude Organic Green Tea

Our green tea is sourced from the Nilgiri region in India, where high altitudes and organic farming practices result in a potent, contaminant-free extract. This approach ensures that you receive a pure formula, free from heavy metals and pesticides commonly found in lower-quality green tea sources. We test every batch to ensure purity and potency, and certificates are regularly updated.

Minimal Caffeine, Maximum Peace of Mind

With only 11 mg of caffeine per capsule, this extract provides the benefits of green tea without excessive stimulation, making it suitable even for those who are sensitive to caffeine.
