Promotes Longevity
Studies consistently show that green tea drinkers live longer than non-tea drinkers 1. Researchers largely attribute this increase in lifespan in green tea drinkers to the powerful antioxidant compound in green tea known as EGCG. Research shows that EGCG extends lifespan of a variety of organisms, including in mice by as much as 12%. 2
Supports Immune Health
Reseach shows that EGCG has immunomodulatory effects, meaning that it has the capability of regulating the immune system. Immunomodulators, like EGCG, are capable of stimulating certain parts of the immune system to offer immune protection while tampering down others parts of the immune system that may contribute to inflammation. 3
Enhances Cellular Health
Polyphenols and EGCG found in green tea extract have powerful antioxidant effects, reducing levels of oxidative stress 4. Oxidative stress contributes to inflammation and age-related health decline. Research shows a correlation between oxidative stress and longevity, with high levels of oxidative stress decreasing lifespan and health span 5.
Weight Management
EGCG is one of the few supplements that has been clinically shown to effectively support heathy weight management. Research shows green tea consumption or supplementing with EGCG may promote weight loss, reduce waist circumference and improve energy metabolism. 6
