Beyond the Teacup

Green tea extract has long been valued for its antioxidant properties. Its primary bioactive, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), is now one of the most popular botanical actives in supplements. Positioned for weight management, energy, and antioxidant support, green tea extract remains a versatile, in-demand ingredient.

Clinical Benefits

  • Metabolism Support: EGCG may help increase fat oxidation and calorie expenditure.
  • Energy: Natural caffeine provides gentle stimulation without harsh crashes.
  • Antioxidant Defense: Protects against oxidative stress and supports healthy aging.
  • Skin Health: Research supports EGCG’s role in skin clarity and hydration.

Market Trends

  • Green tea extract is prominent in weight management and sports nutrition categories.
  • Beauty-from-within applications are growing, with EGCG positioned for skin support.
  • Consumers increasingly seek clean-label caffeine sources.

Formulation Considerations

  • Dosage: Commonly 250–500 mg/day of standardized extract.

  • Synergies: Works well with L-theanine, caffeine, and CLA in weight and energy blends.

  • Formats: Capsules and powders dominate, but functional beverages are emerging.

     

  • Avoid “burns fat” or “treats obesity.”

  • Compliant claims:

    • “Supports metabolism”

    • “Provides antioxidant support”

    • “Helps promote energy and focus”
