Summary
AOR™ Active Green Tea is a potent standardized extract of green tea, high in epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a key phytonutrient associated with green tea’s benefits. Studies often report benefits in individuals consuming high-EGCG sencha-style Japanese green tea. Active Green Tea provides a convenient way to obtain these compounds without consuming large volumes of tea.
Provides concentrated green tea catechins, including EGCG, in a convenient capsule form.
Active Green Tea also contains a small amount of caffeine to help optimize its effects while minimizing potential sensitivity.
