What Is Green Tea Extract Epicatechin?

Green tea extract catechin, also known as tea polyphenols, is a class of important bioactive ingredients in tea, a natural flavonoid with strong antioxidant, anti-cancer, anti-aging and other biological activities.

Green tea extract is an extract from green tea with rich bioactive components, including tea polyphenols, caffeine, amino acids, vitamin C and so on. One of the most representative components is catechin, especially a catechin named EGCG (Epigallocatechin gallate), which accounts for a large proportion of green tea extract and its biological activity is outstanding. Green tea extracts can be obtained by different process methods, generally using water extraction, alcohol extraction, ultrasonic assisted extraction, supercritical CO2 extraction and other techniques for extraction. High purity and high activity green tea extracts can be obtained through suitable extraction processes.

The biological activity of catechins mainly stems from their ability to scavenge free radicals, which can effectively scavenge free radicals in the body, reduce cell damage, and have functions such as promoting cell regeneration, improving immunity, and lowering blood lipids. Besides green tea, catechins are also widely found in other parts of the tea tree, such as buds, old leaves and tea branches, and the content of catechins varies in different parts of the tea tree. In addition, catechins are also found in persimmons, grapes, mulberries, blueberries, peanuts and many other plants.
