 | Description of Green Tea Extract 400 mg, 100 Vegetarian Capsules, NOW Foods |  |
Green Tea has become a benchmark antioxidant based on its high concentrations of polyphenols, a powerful class of bioflavonoids that have been shown to greatly assist in the destruction of oxidation forming free radicals. Although it's commonly used in teas, aromatherapy and tinctures, the highest concentrations can be found in capsule form. NOW Green Tea extract is standardized to 40% catechins to provide maximum benefits.*
Green Tea Extract FQA:
How much caffeine is in your Green Tea capsules, and what is the level of active components?
NOW Green Tea capsules contain approximately 8-9mg of caffeine per capsule, or 2-3% of the capsule's content. Studies have identified a number of different components in Green Tea Extract that may be responsible for its benefits. The most prevalent compounds are polyphenols, of which catechins are the most important. Green Tea Extract capsules contain an average of 40% catechins, and 11% is EGCG (Epigallocatechin Gallate), thought to be the most active and effective of the catechins.
What process does NOW use to extract caffeine from Decaffeinated Green Tea?
We use a clean carbon dioxide extraction method that is safe and effective. Some companies utilize a chemical extraction process that uses ethylene acetate, but this process may leave a residue, and is not as safe as carbon dioxide extraction. Decaffeinated Green Tea is our only Green Tea product that is free of caffeine.
