One capsule of NOW® Green Tea Extract
with 200 mg EGCg posesses the phytonutrient content equal to about
2-3 cups of green tea. Green Tea Extract contains numerous
compounds, including Polyphenols and Catechins, that provide potent
antioxidant benefits. One Catechin in particular, EGCg, has
demonstrated extraordinary free radical quenching power in
laboratory studies. In non-clinical studies, EGCg has also been
shown to be protective against chemical and environmental assault on
tissues and helps to support healthy cell cycle regulation.*
LIKELY USERS:
People wanting antioxidant
protection; Those trying to control cholesterol; People with high
levels of inflammatory iron, including eaters of red meat; Those
seeking to avoid caffeine, but wanting the benefits of green tea.
KEY INGREDIENT(S): Green tea extract (Camellia
sinensis) 400 mg
MAIN PRODUCT FEATURES:
Total EGCg content: 50% (200 mg.) (Epigallocatechin gallate, a
Catechin)
Total Catechins content: 80% (by HPLC method) (Catechins are a
form of Polyphenol)
Total Polyphenols content: 98% (by UV method)
Polyphenols, especially catechins (including EGCg), are the main
active ingredients in green tea, which act as antioxidants and bind
iron, which may prevent some iron-dependent inflammation.
Less than 1% caffeine content, naturally occurring (versus one
cup of green tea’s roughly 40 mg. of caffeine). There should be only
around 3 mg. of caffeine, per capsule.
OTHER IMPORTANT ISSUES:
Highest dose in one capsule.
Vegetarian form.
One capsule contains as much EGCg as about three cups of green
tea.
Green tea may correct cholesterol imbalances by raising HDL and
lowering LDL cholesterol, while preventing LDL from oxidizing.
Oxidized cholesterol is a key risk factor for cardiovascular
disease.
Green tea may also be a mild anticoagulant, or “blood-thinner”.
Green tea has been shown to help maintain levels of desirable
intestinal bacteria.
AMOUNT TO USE: One or more Vcaps® a day,
preferably with meals. Three to four capsules would provide about
the same antioxidant benefits as ten cups of tea, an amount used
successfully in some studies.
SYNERGISTS: Other antioxidants including
Vitamins A, C and E, selenium, alpha lipoic acid, NAC, grape seed
and skin extracts, pycnogenol and pine extracts, pomegranate and
various berries.
CAUTIONS:
Due to the lack of any substantial
amount of caffeine in this formula, most of the usual tea cautions
are not applicable. While the mild anticoagulant effects will not
normally affect most people to any great degree, some caution should
be used if taking blood-thinning drugs. Green tea may help the
effects of chemotherapy drugs while preventing the normal tissue
damage from these drugs. Please notify your physician about your
supplement use if you are using any drugs!
