Detailed description
Green tea, Camellia sinensis, is a member of the Theaceae family, recognized by its narrow, light-green leaves. Native to China, it has been consumed for over 4,000 years. It was introduced to Japan in the 9th century, where it plays a central role in culture and the famous tea ceremony. Traditionally, the leaves are brewed to create a beverage appreciated for its stimulating and health-preserving effects. Rich in antioxidants, notably catechins and polyphenols, green tea leaves support cardiovascular health and stimulate metabolism and lipid oxidation. Its catechins are particularly well studied, as is L-theanine, an amino acid that promotes relaxation. Last but not least, green tea boosts the immune system.

FAQ
Green tea extract is obtained from the leaves of Camellia sinensis. It is naturally rich in polyphenols, particularly catechins such as epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), which are recognised for their antioxidant properties. Depending on the extraction process, the extract can be standardised to different active compound levels to meet various nutraceutical formulation needs.
Green tea extract is widely used in food supplements formulated for antioxidant protection, weight management, energy metabolism, cardiovascular wellness, cognitive function and support against oxidative stress.
Our extract is produced using a traditional water extraction process without organic solvents, maltodextrin, preservatives or silica. This gentle process preserves the natural composition of the tea leaf while delivering an extract suitable for nutraceutical applications.
