Green Tea Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Camellia sinensis leaves via solvent extraction or supercritical CO2. It is primarily characterized by high concentrations of polyphenols, specifically catechins like EGCG. While the extract contains various compounds, the core active marker is often quantified rather than defined by a single molecular formula.
High doses may cause hepatotoxicity; clinical use requires strict dosage control. Store in cool, dry conditions away from light to prevent oxidation of catechins. Handle with standard PPE to avoid inhalation of fine powder particles.
