EGCG 250mg

The EGCG 250mg Film-Coated Tablets from Fairvital contain high-strength green tea extract from Camellia sinensis. Each film-coated tablet provides 500mg green tea extract, including 250mg EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). Standardisation to 50% EGCG ensures a clearly defined amount of this characteristic plant compound from green tea.

250mg EGCG per film-coated tablet: EGCG belongs to the group of catechins that occur naturally in the leaves of the tea plant. The standardised extract provides 250mg EGCG per film-coated tablet and allows precise portioning independently of preparing a tea beverage.

Standardised green tea extract: Green tea is obtained from the leaves of the plant Camellia sinensis. Its characteristic secondary plant compounds include various polyphenols, including catechins such as EGCG. In the Fairvital product, the EGCG content is clearly defined at 50% of the green tea extract.

Practical daily serving: The recommended daily serving consists of three film-coated tablets, taken with meals throughout the day. It provides a total of 1,500mg green tea extract and 750mg EGCG. Due to the high EGCG content, the specific directions for use should be observed.

120 film-coated tablets made in Germany: At the recommended intake, one pack provides a 40-day supply. In addition to green tea extract, the formula contains microcrystalline cellulose and hydroxypropyl methylcellulose as a coating agent.

With EGCG 250mg from Fairvital, you receive a concentrated green tea extract standardised to 50% EGCG in a practical film-coated tablet form.

The EGCG 250mg Film-Coated Tablets from Fairvital are intended for adults who wish to supplement the characteristic catechins of green tea in a standardised and precisely defined amount. The product is particularly suitable for people who prefer concentrated green tea extract in tablet form to a tea beverage. Not suitable for pregnant or breastfeeding women or persons under 18 years of age. The product must not be taken on an empty stomach or on the same day as other green tea products.

Green tea is obtained from the leaves of the tea plant Camellia sinensis. The evergreen plant originally comes from Asia and is now cultivated in numerous regions around the world. Although green and black tea differ in taste and appearance, both come from the same plant species. The differences are mainly determined by how the freshly harvested tea leaves are processed.

When producing green tea, the leaves are heated after harvesting, for example by steaming or roasting. This largely prevents the enzymatic oxidation of the plant compounds they contain. As a result, the leaves retain a large proportion of their characteristic polyphenols. In the production of black tea, by contrast, oxidation is deliberately allowed, changing the colour, aroma and composition.

Among the characteristic compounds found in green tea are catechins. These compounds belong to the flavonoid group and contribute, among other things, to the slightly bitter taste of tea. One of the best-known catechins is EGCG (epigallocatechin-3-gallate). Other examples include epicatechin, epigallocatechin and epicatechin gallate. Their levels depend on the variety, growing conditions, harvest time and processing method.

An interesting distinction can be made between brewed green tea and concentrated green tea extract. In a tea beverage, the amount of leaves, water temperature and steeping time influence how much of the various compounds enter the cup. A standardised extract, by contrast, is adjusted to a specified level of a selected compound. This makes it possible, for example, to state the exact amount of EGCG contained.

The EGCG 250mg Film-Coated Tablets from Fairvital each contain 500mg green tea extract with a standardised EGCG content of 50%, equivalent to 250mg EGCG per tablet. The recommended daily serving of three tablets provides 750mg EGCG. With concentrated green tea extracts of this kind, the specific directions for use are important: they should not be taken on an empty stomach or on the same day as other green tea products.
