Green Tea leaves have long been cultivated by the Chinese, primarily for their use as an antioxidant-rich, healthy drink, full of the polyphenol catechin. The principal antioxidant found in Green Tea is the polyphenol EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate), a type of antioxidant found in the greatest abundance in tea leaves and are also found in smaller amounts in foods such as chocolate, red wine, berries and apples. Each Lindens Green Tea 9000mg capsule contains a potent, concentrated extract of green tea equivalent to 9000mg whole dried green tea leaves, standardised to provide 203mg EGCG (epigallocatechin gallate) Free From: dairy, soya, sugar & gluten.
