Antioxidant extract rich in catechins for metabolism

We rank Green Tea Extract 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

Green Tea Extract is a concentrated powder made from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant. It is rich in catechins, which are a type of polyphenol (natural compounds found in plants) that act as antioxidants to protect cells from damage.

Why it's used

This ingredient is primarily used to support metabolism, which is the process the body uses to convert food and drink into energy. Because of its high antioxidant content, it is also used to help the body fight oxidative stress.

How it's made

The process begins by harvesting green tea leaves, which are then treated to prevent oxidation. These leaves are soaked in a solvent to pull out the active compounds, and the resulting liquid is filtered and evaporated to create a concentrated powder. This powder is then put into capsules or tablets for sale.

What it typically costs

This supplement is generally mid-range in price. This is because the extraction process requires specific industrial equipment to isolate the catechins, and the cost of sourcing high-quality tea leaves varies depending on the region and harvest.
