Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) is an ingredient extracted from Chinese green tea. It is the main active and water-soluble component of green tea. It is the highest content of catechins, accounting for 9% - 13% of the gross weight of green tea. Because of its special stereochemical structure, EGCG has very strong antioxidant activity. Its antioxidant activity is at least 100 times higher than that of vitamin C and vitamin E These effects of EGCG are attributed to their ability to scavenge oxygen free radicals (antioxidants).
