Powerful Antioxidant Backed by Extensive Scientific Research
The antioxidant activity of EGCG is about 25–100 times that of vitamins C and E. One cup of green tea provides roughly 100 mg of polyphenols3 and has antioxidant effect greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.
More Polyphenols in One Capsule than Several Cups of Green Tea
One capsule of Life Extension’s Mega Green Tea Extract provides more polyphenols than you get from drinking seven cups of green tea. This green tea extract is standardized to 98% polyphenols and contains 326.25 mg of EGCG, by far the most important polyphenol that green tea provides.
And green tea powdered extracts have been shown to absorb 60%–90% better into the bloodstream and to be far more bioavailable than drinking green tea itself.
