Antioxidant Support: Green tea extract contains catechins, a class of powerful antioxidant compounds known as polyphenols.

Multiple recent studies have suggested that this polyphenolic compound supports prostate, colon, lung, and bladder health. Research has indicated that EGCG may promote cellular health through a number of pathways, including moderating gene expression and hydroxyl radical formation.*
