New insights into the mechanisms of polyphenols beyond antioxidant properties; lessons from the green tea polyphenol, epigallocatechin 3-gallate
EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate)

EGCG has been shown in studies to support weight loss by increasing metabolism and improving blood circulation. Studies also indicate EGCG may also reduce inflammation and prevent certain chronic conditions, including heart disease, diabetes, and some cancers.
