GreenTea
GreenTea EGCG Supplement
Each capsule contains EGCG from Green Tea Extract 150mg.
Health Benefits
1. Reduction of Extra Body Fat
Green tea polyphenols inhibit digestive lipase, reducing fat digestion. Improves weight maintenance through thermogenesis and fat oxidation by inhibiting COMT (catechol-O-methyl transferase), an enzyme that degrades norepinephrine — enhancing fat loss by stimulating the release of fatty acids from fat cells for burning as fuel.
2. Suppression of Abnormal Cell Growth
Green tea catechins (EGCG and derivatives) support normal cell growth. EGCG prevents new blood vessel growth in tumors, inhibits tumor cell proliferation, blocks cell cycle progression and induces apoptosis. Increases expression of tumor-suppressor proteins and exhibits anti-angiogenic activities. Protective effects against several kinds of cancer including hepatocellular carcinoma, head and neck squamous carcinoma, breast, prostate and ovarian cancer.
3. Supporting Rejuvenation and Anti-aging
EGCG activates SIRT3, delaying senescence of cells and senescence-induced inflammatory processes. Suppresses premature senescence of preadipocytes by inhibition of PI3K pathway and induces senescent cell death by regulation of Bax/Bcl-2 pathway.
