EGCG Green Tea Extract
A Buyer's Guide
Why you may benefit from EGCG green tea extract. Which supplement brand is the highest quality?
As you may already know, green tea has many health benefits, which range
from helping to decrease the risk of certain cancers, infections, cardiovascular
disease to preventing rheumatoid arthritis.
You may also have heard that
green tea can help reduce cholesterol and boost immunity, plus (!) it can help us
lose weight.
To really enjoy those benefits you need to drink anywhere from 3 to 6 cups of
green tea a day. Unless you are an avid tea drinker, it may be hard to drink
that much tea each day. Perhaps a green tea extract is an easy way
out?
If you have medical conditions, you would like your EGCG green tea extract to
be caffeine free. And even more importantly, given the concern we have about
pollution and pesticides, you would like it to be herbicide and pesticide free
as well.
As far as I am concerned, there is only one product that meets these
stringent standard: Teavigo.
When buying one, look for the Teavigo guarantee seal. Their seal means that
the product you are getting has gone through an extensive safety program.
They offer the highest purity level of green tea extract (at least 94% is
EGCG) so that you can be sure you are getting a potent, unadulterated health
supplement.
The company DSM has done extensive scientific research to
help support the health benefits that their green tea extract offers.
The supplement can help your body get rid of the toxins known as free
radicals, that we consume everyday in the air we breathe, the food we eat, and
the drinks we consume.
One scientific research study showed that even moderate intake of EGCG will
help overweight people reduce their heart rate and the plasma glucose
concentration in the body.
For the non-tea drinkers, an EGCG green tea extract such as Teavigo is a good
health supplement. It helps you get the recommended amount of green tea without
having to walk around with teabags and a tea pot all day.
It also offers many health benefits: improved immune system, body cleansing
by removing toxins, and decreasing glucose concentration so that you have a stronger
heart and body.
Think about it.
