Powerful Antioxidant Backed by Extensive Scientific Research

Green tea contains health-promoting polyphenols including epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a powerful antioxidant which has been the subject of extensive scientific research. The antioxidant activity of EGCG is about 25–100 times that of vitamins C and E.1, 2 One cup of green tea provides roughly 100 mg of polyphenols3 and has antioxidant effects that are greater than a serving of broccoli, spinach, carrots or strawberries.
