Green Tea Extract is a standardized botanical ingredient derived from Camellia sinensis leaves via aqueous or ethanol extraction. It is primarily valued for its high concentration of polyphenols, specifically Catechins. The principal active constituent is Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), with molecular formula C22H18O11 and CAS No. 30861-67-9.
High-dose intake may cause hepatotoxicity; clinical limits apply for concentrated extracts. Store in cool, dry environments below 25°C protected from light to prevent catechin oxidation. Ensure compliance with local regulatory thresholds for caffeine content.
