Green Tea Extract Powder EGCG Anti-atherogenic Lowering Cholesterol & Triglycerides
Product Introduction
EGCG, or epigallocatechin gallate, is a potent antioxidant and one of the major bioactive compounds found in green tea. It belongs to a class of polyphenols called catechins, which are known for their numerous health benefits. EGCG has gained significant attention due to its potential therapeutic properties. Studies have shown that EGCG possesses anti-inflammatory, anticancer, and neuroprotective effects. It has been found to inhibit the growth of cancer cells and induce apoptosis, or programmed cell death, in various types of cancer, including breast, prostate, and colorectal cancers. Additionally, EGCG has been shown to prevent angiogenesis, the formation of new blood vessels that tumors rely on for growth and metastasis. Apart from its anticancer properties, EGCG has demonstrated neuroprotective effects, potentially aiding in the prevention and treatment of neurodegenerative disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases. It has been reported to alleviate oxidative stress and reduce the accumulation of amyloid-beta plaques in the brain, which are characteristic features of these conditions. Furthermore, EGCG exhibits powerful antioxidant activity, protecting cells from oxidative damage caused by free radicals. This antioxidant property may contribute to its potential cardiovascular benefits by reducing the risk of heart disease and improving vascular health. In addition to its health benefits, EGCG has also been associated with weight loss and metabolic improvements. It has been shown to enhance fat oxidation and thermogenesis, leading to increased energy expenditure and potentially aiding in weight management. Overall, EGCG is a versatile compound with promising therapeutic potential. However, further research is still required to fully understand its mechanisms of action and optimize its use in various health conditions.
