Apollo's Hegemony Green Tea EGCG is a dietary supplement that includes extract from the tea plant Camellia sinensis, standardized for 50% EGCG.
Camellia sienensis is an evergreen tea shrub whose leaves are used to make one of the world's most popular beverages, green tea. In addition to its undoubted taste qualities, tea leaves have another advantage - they are a source of more than 300 biologically active chemical compounds that have a beneficial effect on the human body. Among them, polyphenolic compounds predominate, especially catechins, which belong to this group. The best-known catechin is epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG).
Polyphenols present in green tea leaves are antioxidants. They help protect cells from oxidative stress. Such properties are mainly due to their unique chemical structure, especially the presence of as many as five hydroxyl groups. Of all the catechins, epigallocatechin gallate, which contains as many as eight OH groups, appears to be the most powerful antioxidant.
In conclusion, Apollo's Hegemony Green Tea EGCG extract is a formula that enriches the diet with the key bioactive substances it contains in. The capsule form will be perfect for those who are not fond of the taste of the brew.
