The Food Mill, Green Tea Standardized
The Food Mill's Green tea standardized extract is a concentrated form of green tea that has been processed to ensure it contains a specific, consistent amount of active compounds, typically polyphenols like catechins, and most notably, epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG). These compounds are believed to offer various health benefits, such as:
- Antioxidant effects: Green tea extract is rich in antioxidants, which can help protect cells from damage by free radicals.
- Boosting metabolism: Some studies suggest it may help with fat oxidation and weight management.
- Heart health: It can have a positive impact on cardiovascular health by improving cholesterol levels and supporting healthy blood vessels.
- Anti-inflammatory effects: Green tea extract may help reduce inflammation in the body.
The extract is usually found in supplements and is available in various forms, such as capsules, tablets, or powders. It's often standardized to contain a specific percentage of EGCG, like 50% or 90%, to ensure potency and consistency in each dose.
If you're considering taking a green tea extract supplement, it's always a good idea to consult with a healthcare provider, especially if you have any underlying health conditions or are taking other medications.
