Epigallocatechin Gallate - most potent catechin from green tea with broad health benefits

We rank EGCG by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.

What it is

EGCG, or Epigallocatechin Gallate, is a powerful type of catechin. Catechins are natural compounds found in plants that act as antioxidants, which are substances that help protect your cells from damage. This specific compound is the most potent version found in green tea.

Why it's used

It is used for its broad health benefits, primarily due to its strong antioxidant properties. People take it to support overall wellness and to get the concentrated benefits of green tea without drinking large volumes of the beverage.

How it's made

To create the supplement, manufacturers start with green tea leaves. They use a process called extraction to pull the EGCG away from the other plant materials using solvents. This liquid is then purified and dried into a concentrated powder, which is then put into capsules or tablets.

What it typically costs

This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because the extraction and purification process required to isolate the specific EGCG compound from raw tea leaves is more complex than simply grinding up whole leaves.
